 owners, tenant or tenants, not resident in this state, from fish- 

 ing upon or opposite to his, her, or their own shore in this state, or 

 to prevent any resident owner or tenant from employing what hands 

 he may think necessary to carry on the business of his or their fish-

 to, or in any wise affect the fisheries on the waters of the rivet- 

 Delaware.

 alty, the same may be commenced by warrant in the court for the 

 trial of small causes, and proceeded in as in other cases when the 

 same is commenced by warrant, any law, usage or custom to the con- 

 trary notwithstanding.
