BRAMBLE-Net, otherwise called hallier, is a net to catch birds in of several sizes: the great meshes must be four inches square; those of the least size are three inches square; and those of the biggest five. In the depth they should not be above three or four inches; but as for the length, they may be enlarged at pleasure; the shortest being 18 feet long.
