§ SIR D. MACFARLANEI beg to ask the Lord Advocate if his attention has been called to the refusal of Mr. Campbell, of Jura, to allow fishermen to land on the shores of Loch Tarbert, Jura, material for the curing of fish, and thus practically prohibit the fishing industry in that neighborhood; and if landed proprietors are entitled to refuse the use of the foreshores to fishermen and fish curers?
§ MR. J. B. BALFOURI have no further information in regard to the facts than is conveyed in the question, but I may say that fishermen have by statute a right to use any land adjoining the sea shore, which may be at the time waste and uncultivated, for purposes incidental to the conduct of their enterprise.
§ SIR D. MACFARLANEasked if a proprietor was not liable to a penalty of £100 for refusing permission to the fishermen?
§ MR. J. B. BALFOURI am not aware of that.
