Fishery
Fishery, the right to take fish. Fisheries are either free, common, or several. A free fishery is the exclusive right of fishing in a public river, and is a royal franchise, Common of fishery, or common of piscary, is the right of fishing in another man's water. A several fishery is the exclusive right of fishing in another man's water, and he that has it, according to Blackstone, 'must also be the owner of the soil' (2 Bl. Com. 40). This position of Blackstone, however, has been questioned, and the distinction between the various kinds of fishery is not clear; see Hrg. Co. Litt. 122 a, n. 7; Holford v. Bailey, (1846) 8 QB 1000; 13 ib. 426; Marshall v. Ulleswater Steam navigation Co., (1863) 3 B&S 732; Chesterfield (Earl) v.
