15 July 1843 Ullswater Fisheries

Several paragraphs have recently appeared in our own, and other provincial journals, as well as in more than one metropolitan newspaper, complaining of the mode in which the fisheries in the lake of Ullswater are at present conducted, but we have just ascertained that the complaints, which professed to be made by most respectable parties, were deliberate forgeries, and wholly without foundation.  The fisheries are principally in the hands of the gentlemen residing in the vicinity of the lake, who afford the fair angler the most liberal leave, while they carefully preserve the water.  We have set enquiries on foot, which we trust may lead to the discovery of the author of these forgeries, who has, no doubt, his own reasons for his dishonest conduct.
