Where a party has right to a ferry-boat, established by grant or prescription, it is not in the power of others who may have a right of fishing upon the same part of the water, to interfere with the proprietor of the ferry-boat, by carrying over passengers for hire. Upon this footing the Lords found, That the other heritors might transport themselves and families, or others gratuitously, in their coble-boats, but not for hire. And in this, ferry-boats are upon the same footing with fairs; both of them imply an exclusive privilege, otherwise they could not be kept up. See Appendix.
