FISHERIES (IRELAND) ACT 1842 - SECT 91

Commissioners may make bye-laws for protection and improvement of fisheries.

91. It shall be lawful for the said commissioners from time to time, as may
become necessary, to make and ordain such bye laws, rules, orders, and
regulations (in addition to those herein specifically required to be made), as
to them the said commissioners shall seem expedient for the more effectual
government, management, protection, and improvement of the fisheries of
Ireland, and the registry of all boats engaged therein, and from time to time
to repeal, rescind, or vary the same, and substitute others in lieu thereof,
and to impose and prescribe any conditions and restrictions for the regulation
of the said fisheries, and the preservation of good order among the persons
engaged therein, and in relation to the times and seasons at which the taking
the several species of fish shall commence and cease, or the times and places
or the manner at and in which any trammel, trawl, or other net or nets, engine
or engines to be employed in the said fisheries shall be used, and also as to
the description and form of nets to be used in the said fisheries, and the
size of the meshes thereof, or to the prohibition thereof or of any practice
whatsoever tending in the opinion of the said commissioners to impede the
taking of fish or to be in any manner detrimental to the said fisheries, or as
to any other matter or thing which shall in any manner relate to the
government and protection of the said fisheries; and it shall be lawful for
the said commissioners to impose any penalty not exceeding five pounds in all
cases where any penalty is not fixed by this Act, for any breach of such bye
laws, rules, orders, and regulations, and to direct that all nets, engines, or
other instruments whatsoever used contrary to any of such bye laws, rules,
orders, or regulations shall be forfeited, destroyed, or removed, as the case
may require: Provided always, that all such bye laws, rules, orders, and
regulations be not repugnant to any law or statute in force in Ireland, and
shall not injure the effective working power of any mill or factory, and shall
be approved of and confirmed by the lord lieutenant in council; and all the
said bye laws, rules, orders, and regulations, when so approved and confirmed,
shall be binding and conclusive on all persons, as if the same had been
contained in and enacted by this Act.
