Despite the clamour of the keepers, and his own great love of trouting, Dr. Hamilton pleads warmly for more mercy to the kingfisher, affirming stoutly, and adducing Yarrell's well-known work in evidence, that the bird "does an immense amount of good by destroying vast numbers of the greatest enemies to the young trout," such as sticklebacks and min...
