Anglers’ Association. —The delegates assembled 
at Foresters’ Hall, on Monday last, the 19th inst., at 
8.30 p.m. Mr. W. H. Beoket, vice-president, occupied 
the chair. After the ordinary preliminary business had 
been disposed of, including the reading of proceedings 
of the General and the Renting and PresMvation Com¬ 
mittees, the visiting officers gave their reports as 
follows: Mr. Thorley had visited the Clissold Angling 
Society, and collected from the Anglers’ Benevolent 
collecting box 333., which was considered very satis¬ 
factory. Mr. Harris, on the 1st inst., met delegates from 
eleven clubs, at the Prince Arthur Piscatorials, and on 
the 14th inst. he attended the Queen’s Angling Society, 
where eight clubs were represented, and he collected 6s. 
from the Anglers’ Benevolent Society’s box. Unfortu¬ 
nately, this box had been recently broken open, or the 
amount would have been greater. Mr. Harris’s next 
visit will be to the Royal George. Cheques were 
ordered to be drawn to the amount of ^£67 5s. to pay the 
rent of several of our fisheries, for bailiffs’ salaries, and 
other necessary expenses. Mr. Tibbatts asked 
if there is any good fishing to be had at 
Bures. Several members rose in quick succession 
and gave their experieuces, all of which were of a 
very satisfactory nature. A letter from Mr. Crumplen 
was read regarding the recent extraordinary 
claim of Lord Ashburton and Mr. Nocton to a certain 
stretch of the Essex Stour, who, although they do not 
claim to be the owners of the land forming the bank on 
either side of this river, nevertheless contend the fish in 
the river and all fishing rights are theirs and theirs 
only, between Stratford Bridge and Boxford. It also 
appears they have commenced an action against a 
member of the Good Intent, Mr. Donald Flint. Mr. 
Crumplen spoke at some length on this important 
subject, pointing out that only three weeks’ time now 
remained be.'ore we must take action if we wished to 
defend the case, that money would be required, and he 
invited the association to co-operate with his committee. 
After some discussion this was agreed to, and Messrs. 
R. Ghumey and A. W. Parker, were appointed our 
representatives. The next business was the enrolment 
of an important angling society, viz.. The Dilettante 
Piscatorials, whose place of meeting will be No. 59, 
Strand ; it at present consists of fifteen members. The 
St. Luke’s Angling Society, with a like number of 
members, was also enrolled subject to their printed 
rules being satisfactory as to sizes of fish, &c. This 
society meets at the White Bear, King-street, Luke s. 
The chairman read a letter from Mr. Cook with regard 
to the amended proposed new Thames Bye-laws, and in¬ 
formed the meeting that our secretary had replied to same 
and had also received a further communication. Ur was 
decided to let this letter lay on the table for the present. 
The issue of railway privilege tickets up to the present 
time is 2854, being 429 more than the number issued up 
to the same time last year. Mr. Close drew attention to 
a personal matter, which he did not jiress, and to a 
resolution that had been passed in error. After some 
discussion, two old minutes were rescinded, and it was 
arranged that a special general meeting should be held 
on the next delegate night in order to re-discuss the 
advisability of altering the sizes of fish that might be 
taken in our own private fisheries. The members 
received some conflicting evidence which had been given 
by two anging societies regarding a member of one of 
them, and it was ultimately decided, after careful con¬ 
sideration, to withhold his railway privilege ticket for 
the present. The roll was called at a late hour, and 
delegates from sixty clubs wore found to be in-esent.—
