>From The Cork Examiner, 4 September 1878 - FISHERY PROSECUTION.--At he Coachford petty sessions, held on the 2nd instant, William Hall, a farmer, was summoned by the owner of the Feargus fishery on the River Lee, for having fished and trespassed on that part of the river without leave. It appeared from the evidence that the owner of said fishery had given this man leave to fish every day during the open season until nine o'clock in the morning, and after five o'clock in the evening. This indulgence did not seem to suit Bill Hall, as he fished whenever he liked, and though warned over and over again not to fish between the hours named, he continued to do so. The magistrates (as the owner did not press a severe penalty) inflicted the small fine of 10s. and costs. --Communicated. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
