taken in the Horse-and- Groom subscription 

 water at Lea-bridge, some weighing upwards 

 of fourteen pounds : a friend of mine (Mr. R.) 

 took one here on Saturday, the 21st of May 

 last, which weighed twelve pounds. There 

 are likewise fine Barbel as far up this river a* 

 Waltham-abbey, particularly at Tottenham- 

 mills, in Bannister's water, Mr. Bowerbank's, 

 (the last is private property) and in the sub- 

 scription water at Bleak-hall, Edmonton. 

 Barbel are very rarely taken as high up as 

 Broxbourn and Hoddesden. The heaviest 

 Barbel in the river Thames are taken at 

 Chertsey-bridge, Shepperton, Walton, and 

 Hampton-deeps. Barbel are also taken at 

 Thames Ditton, Kingston, Twickenham, and 

 Richmond.
