 assessment has yet been levied. The Board was constituted primarily for the 

 purpose of vesting in the gamekeepers and other servants the powers conferred 

 upon bailiffs under the Salmon Fishery Statutes, and this has had the effect to a 

 great extent of stopping illegal trawling in the estuary of the Broom.
