they had had the best attendances. As to the question of 
future Conferences, he would venture to suggest, and he 
should be glad to take any steps to follow up the sugges- 
tion if desirable, that there should not be simply an ad- 
journed Conference, but that they should try to have in 
London every year a Conference of fishermen ; they would 
then hear, from representatives from all parts of the king- 
dom, their views on all the questions of the day. Every 
other interest met more or less annually in London, and he 
did not see why the fishing interest should not have a fair 
chance also.
