Trout
Trout. The (English) Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act, 1923, consolidates and amends the enactments relating to salmon and trout and freshwater fisheries in England and Wales. Sects. 1 and 2 prohibit the use of a light, otter lath, or jack, wire or snare, spear, gaff, strokehaul, snatch or the like, or stone or other missile, or roe for catching or killing salmon, trout, or freshwater fish. A gaff or tailer may, however, be used as an auxiliary to angling with a rod and line. No explosive or noxious material must be used with intent to take or destroy fish in any waters (s. 9). Sect. 31 provides that -31.-(1) No person shall fish for, take, kill or attempt to take or kill trout-(a) Except with a rod and line, during the annual close season for trout; or(b) with a rod and line during the annual trout close season for rod and line; or(c) except with a rod and line, during the weekly close time for trout.

Four seas
Four seas. These are (1) The Atlantic, which comprises the Irish Sea and St. George's Channel; (2) The North Sea; (3) The German Ocean; and (4) The English Channel. See Woolrych on Waters. Before the reign of James the First, the four seas were understood with more restriction, the Scotch seas being excluded. The expression 'within the four seas,' 'intra quatuor maria,' means 'within the kingdome of England, and the dominions of the same kingdome.'-Co. Litt. 107 a....
Perils of the sea
Perils of the sea, means perils, dangers and accidents of the sea or other navigable waters is an expression meaning perils, or accidents peculiar to sea or navigable waters, which could not have been reasonably foreseen and guarded against by ordinary skill and prudence by carrier or his agents or servants, Collis Line Pvt. Ltd. v. New India Assurance Co. Ltd., AIR 1982 Ker 127.They are strictly the natural accidents peculiar to the water, but the law has extended this phrase to comprehend events not attributable to natural causes, as captures by pirates, and losses by collision, where no blame is attachable to either ship, or at all events to the injured ship. It was held by the House of Lords in Hamilton, Fraser & Co. v. Pandorf & Co., (1887) 12 App Cas 518, that, where (under a charter-party or bills of lading which excepted dangers and accidents of the seas'), rats gnawed a hole in a pipe on board ship, whereby sea-water escaped and damaged a cargo of rice, without neglect or defa...
Sea
Sea. See FOUR SEAS. The main or high seas are part of the realm of England, for thereon the Courts of Admiralty have jurisdiction, but they are not subject to the Common Law. The main sea begins at the low-watermark, but between the high-water mark and the low-water mark, where the sea ebbs and flows, the Common Law and Admiralty have, divisum imperium, an alternate jurisdiction, the one upon the water when it is full sea, the other upon the land when it is an ebb. See FORESHORE.The jurisdiction of the Admiralty within three miles of the low-water mark will be found elaborately discussed in Reg. v. Keyn, (1876) 2 Ex D 63. In that case it was held by a majority of seven judges to six that the Central Criminal Court had no jurisdiction to try for manslaughter the foreign captain of a foreign ship--the Franconia--which, in passing within three miles of the British shore, ran into a British ship and sank her; but this state of the law was soon afterwards altered by the (English) Territoria...
