a whale it' he were presented with
em": was the attestiou prompted re-
cently by the chase of one of these
mammals of the deep of! the lip):-
lish coast by fishermen who sought
to capture it for their ruler.
The idea of presenting a whale
to tho King is in accordance with
an act dating: back to the days of
King Edward 11', under which all
whales and sturgeons with oneex-
caption caught nroundttho coasts of
Great Britain belong to the reigning
monarch.
King George has rarely had the
refusal of a. whale. but he has had
several sturgeons presented to him
during his reign. the first such gift
being made at the time of his cor—
onation. A few days ago the Rim:
visited the Cardigan ilay district in
Wales and, according to the ancient
custom, was presented with a stur-
geon which had been taken off the
Welsh coast.
The exception noted in the old
act is in the case of sturgeon caught
in the Thames River above London
Bridge. Any sturgeon captured there
belongs to the Lord Mayor after
the city coroner has held an inquest
on it and duly certified that it is
a stttigeon and that it was caught
within the area of the Mayor‘s jurv
isdiction over the Thames. Although
it is the habit of the sturgeon. "in!
the salmon, to swim upstream to
spawn. there are only a few instan—
ces on record where the Tum...“
has yielded a municipal sturgeon
for the menu of the staid old Man-
sion House where the Lord Mayor
resides.
