the breed of Fish.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, it is represented to this general assembly, that
some person or persons unknown are in the habit of erecting
fish pots in the Susquehanna river not constructed according to
the provisions of the different acts and supplementary acts on
this subject, by which means the young shad are destroyed,
and the owners not known,

Owners of
fish pots to
notify
constables,
&c.

Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the owner or owners of every fish pot in the river Susquehanna,
shall, in the month of August every year, notify the two several
constables that may be appointed to examine the pots, that he,
she or they are the owner or owners of such pot, describing the
same in such manner that the said constables may know them,
and in case any pot shall be erected after the month of August
in any year, and during the fishing season, the owner or owners
of such pot shall give notice thereof to the said constables
immediately, and in case any constable appointed as aforesaid
shall find a fish pot erected in the said river constructed in such
manner as to destroy the young shad, and contrary to the provi-
sions of the several laws on this subject, that then and in that
case such constable shall cut down or otherwise destroy such
pot.

CHAPTER 217.
A further additional SUPPLEMENT to an ACT, entitled, an Act to establish
