264 A YEAR OF LIBERTY; OR, 



certain inquisitive young lady counted as far as one hundred and 

 seventy-six, and then gave up the task in despair. 



Separated from the river only by a narrow grass plot, a mountain 

 road, and a kitchen garden, stands the hotel, which well deserves a 

 few grateful words from me. Shall I record that the managers are 

 upright, civil, and obliging ; that the house is thoroughly comfort- 

 able ; that the food is excellent, and the cooking good ? All this 

 might indeed be said without fear of contradiction, but yet would 

 leave much untold. Three times it has been my good fortune to visit 

 Gweedore ; each time my visit was long and I felt at home. 



Before me lies a printed form headed *' Fishing Regulations for 

 1866." As the reader may like to see them, I give the paper 

 verbatim et literatim. 



Terms on which gentlemen staying at the Gweedore Hotel will be permitted 

 to fish in the rivers and lakes belonging to Lord George A. Hill are as 

 follows : 



The lakes and that part of Gweedore river which belongs to his lordship may 

 be fished without any charge by persons staying at the hotel, they being 

 required to return all salmon caught to Mr. Cunningham, the manager of 

 Gweedore Hotel, and to pay 4s. per day for boat and two men, and 2s. 6c?. a 

 day for boat and one man. 



Gentlemen fishing the river Claddy, between the lakes and Bunbeg, to pay 

 by the day, week, month, or season, according to the following rates ; 



When all salmon caught are either returned to Mr. Cunningham or paid for 

 at market price, 



Angler to pay per day 3 6 



per week 18 



,, per month 2 2 



,, per season 5 5 



When angler keeps all salmon caught by him, 



He will pay per day 6 6 



,, per week 1 16 



per month 4 4 



per season 10 10 



Gentlemen will be required to 46liver all salmon in good order to Mr. 

 Cunningham, and are requested to land as many as possible of the fish with a 

 net instead of with a gaflF, as the latter injures the fish veiy much, and 

 consequently lessens their value. 

 Gweedore, April, 1866.
