The Lords found, That an heritor who had simply a right of salmon fishing in Lochlomond and the river Leven, was not entitled to exercise the same, by drawing nets with small meshes across the river, and fastening stakes very close to each other into the channel, so as to leave very little room for any fish to escape, and materially to impede the navigation of the river. See No. 19.
