264 THE SALMON 



found unlawfully fishing in a private fishery, the 

 owner of the ground, water, or fishery, his servant, 

 or any person authorised- by him, may demand 

 from the offender any rod, line, hook, net, or other 

 instrument for taking or destroying fish, and in 

 case such offender shall not immediately deliver up 

 the same, may seize and take the same. But any 

 person angling in the daytime, from whom such 

 implement is taken, is exempted from the payment 

 of any damages or penalty. This section, it will be 

 seen, gives no such power to a lessee, nor any power 

 to seize fish which a poacher may have in his 

 possession. 



By the Irish Act of 1842, any person interested 

 in a fishery, who finds any person fishing with any 

 illegal net or engine, may require him to desist, and 

 give his name and address, and upon refusal to do so 

 may arrest him. 



In Scotland the law is somewhat different. There 

 any person may seize without warrant, detain, and 

 give into custody persons committing the following 

 offences : — 



Against the Act of 1828. 



1 . Trespassing for salmon or neglecting to observe 

 the law as to ' Satterday's Stop.'
