ungranted beach or shore of the said Bay of Chaleur, except such 

 parts thereof, as by our Orders in Council dated the 29th of June, 

 and 21st of July 1785, are directed to be granted to John Shoolbred 

 of London, Merchant, and Messrs. Robin Pipon and Company, of 

 the Island of Jersey, Merchants, but that the same be reserved to us, 

 our heirs and successors, together with a sufficient quantity of wood- 

 land adjoining thereto necessary for the purpose of carrying on the 

 fishery; the limits of such wood-land so to be reserved, to be de- 

 termined upon and ascertained by you and our Council for our said 

 province of Quebec, in such manner, as from the most authentic in- 

 formation shall appear to you and them most convenient and proper 

 for that purpose; It is nevertheless our intention, and we do hereby 

 signify to you our will and pleasure, that the free use of such beach 

 or shore, and of the wood-lands so to be reserved, shall be allowed by 

 you, or any person authorised by you, to such of our subjects as shall 

 resort thither for the purpose of carrying on the fishery, in such 

 proportions as the number of shallops, he or they shall respectively 

 employ may require ; provided, that if any fisherman who shall have 

 permission to occupy any part of the said beach or shore and wood- 

 land for the purpose of the said fishery, shall not during any one sea- 

 son, continue so to occupy and employ any part of the said beach 

 and shore and wood-lands so allotted to him, you or any person 

 authorized by you as above, may and shall allow the use of such part 

 to any other fisherman, who shall apply for the same, for the purpose 

 of carrying on the fishery. 



And whereas it may be necessary to establish local regulations to 

 prevent abuses, as well as disputes and misunderstanding between 

 the fishermen resorting to the said beach or shore, it is our will and 

 pleasure, that you by and with the advice and consent of our said 

 council, do frame such regulations as to you shall appear necessary to 

 answer those salutary purposes, and transmit the same to Us through 

 one of our principal Secretaries of State for our pleasure therein by 

 the first opportunity.
