In a proof of 40 years possession of a salmon-fishing, a party proved his possession as to fishing by angle, speer, and wand, and that it was accounted a part of his tenant's liveliehood, and that the river fronting his ground was ever reputed his, &c. This was not found a sufficient possession for salmonfishing.
