Nets not to be shot till after Notice by Inspector,
Penalty 20l.

‘XVII. And Whereas, notwithstanding the Laws now in force for the Regulation of the Fisheries of Ireland, by the Multitude of Boats that resort to the different Places of Rendezvous, many of which shoot their Nets in the Day time, and begin to fish before the Shoals of Herrings, Pilchards or Mackerel are settled in the Bays and Creeks where they usually resort for Shelter, there is reason to believe that the Fisheries are much injured, and that a Regulation with regard to the time of commencing the Fishery would be of great Advantage ;’ Be it enacted, That in the several Places where Inspectors or other Officers are appointed, and where Orders shall be given for the purpose by the Commissioners of the Irish Fisheries, or any Three of them, who are hereby empowered so to do, no Person shall be at liberty to shoot their Nets, until Notice for such Purpose shall be posted up by the Inspector of the District, under a Penalty of Twenty Pounds, to be levied as other Penalties in this Act directed.
