fish, to go, when the wind was not to the south or west, and 
lie off Penzance. They might catch there every kind of 
fish, from the mackerel down to the beautiful jelly-fish 
which Mr. Cornish had alluded to, which he had often 
watched on a calm day struggling to make head against 
the tide, but eventually drifting with it; and perhaps the 
Chairman would recollect that they had it on the authority 
of a noble duke, that certain friends of his, who were as 
brilliant in talents as these jelly-fish were in colour, were 
also in the habit of drifting with the tide. 
Mr. HORNBLOWER seconded the motion, which was 
carried unanimously. 
The CHAIRMAN, in response, said it had given him much 
pleasure to be present at a discussion of so practical a 
character. There were many points on which he should 
have liked to touch had the time not been so far advanced, 
but he would only say, in correction of what Mr. Fryer had 
said, that the Cornish proverb was that the devil would not 
come into Cornwall because he was afraid of being put into 
a pie.
