NEW SALMON-FISHERY LAW.—The British Parliament has recently 
enacted a law explaining, amending, and adding to existing statutes 
relating to salmon-fishing. Its design is to make the regulations more 
stringent and effective. The provisions of the “ malicious injuries act,” 
so far as they relate to poisoning water with intent to destroy fish, are 
made to apply to salmon rivers. It provides that ‘ no person shall buy, 
sell, or have in his possession any salmon or part of any salmon between 
the 3d of September and the 1st of February following, both inclusive; 
and any person acting in contravention of this section shall forfeit any 
salmon so bought, sold, or exposed for sale, or in his possession for sale, 
and shall ineur a penalty not exceeding £2 for every such salmon or 
part of any salmon.” ‘This is not to apply to salmon cured beyond the 
limits of the United Kingdom, or within the limits between the Ist of 
February and the 3d of November, nor to any clean, fresh salmon 
caught within the limits of the act, or beyond the limits, provided the 
capture was lawful; but the burden of proof that it was lawful, in either 
case, is to lie on the person ‘‘in whose possession for sale such salmon 
is found.” No draught-net is to be shot within 100 yards of another net 
before the latter is landed ; no fishing except with rod and line is to be 
permitted 100 yards above or below weirs or mill-races ; no eel-bas- 
kets are to be fixed between the Ist of January and the 24th of June ; 
and no interference with salmon is to be permitted in close seasons. 
These are the prominent features of the act, which contains sixty-five 
sections and three schedules.
