There is a misfortune attending the river Tweed, 
which is worthy a parlementary remedy; for there 
is no law for preferving the fifh in it during the 
fence months, as there is in the cafe of many other 
Britifo rivers. This being the boundary between 
the two kingdoms, part of it belongs to the city of 
Berwick, and the whole north fide (beginning about 
two miles from the town) is entirely Scotch pro- 
perty. From fome difagreement between the par- 
ties they will not unite for the prefervation of the 
fifh, fo that in fome fifheries on the north fide they 
continue killing falmon the whole winter, when the 
death of one fifk is the deftruction of thoufands. 
The legiflature began very early to pay attention 
to this important article: by the 13th Hdward If. 
there is an act which prohibits the capture of the 
falmon from the Nativity of our Lady to St. Mar- 
tin’s Day, in the waters of the Humber, Ow/e, Trent, 
Done, Arre, Derwent, Wharfe, Nid, Yore, Swale, 
and Tees; and other monarchs in after-times, pro-

other rivers.

quantity is fent to London in the fpring; but after 
that time the adventurers begin to barrel and ex- 
port them to foreign countries: but we believe that
