 angler, who will have frequent opportunities, and 

 will gladly do his utmost, publicly to expose such 

 persons as may unlawfully trespass upon their 

 rights. The use of a coracle in angling, by

 it rarely happens that it is not made the vehicle 

 of nets, night lines, or spears, which the occupier 

 has the most favourable opportunities of using to 

 advantage.
