State can protect Buzzard's Bay fisheries from menhaden seining
In a Bourne letter dated October 14 1889 Charles F Chamberlayne argues Massachusetts may regulate inland waters against Rhode Island menhaden seining in Buzzard's Bay. He analyzes statutes from 1865 and 1886, cites state and federal cases, and maintains the state’s jurisdiction over fisheries while noting potential appeals to higher courts.
