The Case of the Royal Fishery of the Banne [1610] Dav 149
1610	Agriculture, Constitutional	1 Citers
	A royal fishery did not pass by a general grant of all fisheries, because general words in a grant did not pass "special royalty which belongeth to the Crown by prerogative".

Peers -v- Lucy [1694] 4 Mod Rep 355; [1694] ER 441
1694	Agriculture, Land
	A person cannot in law prescribe a right to catch fish for himself and his servants and for his several fisheries, in another man's land. Though the law knows of easements, a right of fishery is a right to the thing itself - the fish and is not properly an easement.
