Whereas by authority of our sovereign Lord James, by the grace 

 of God of England, Scotland, France, Ireland and Newfoundland 

 King, a plantation and government is begun to be settled within this 

 country of Newfoundland, And whereas among those persons that 

 use the trade of fishing in these parts, many disorders, abuses and 

 bad customs are crept in which are continued and yearly practised 

 more of a corrupt usage than of malicious designs, forasmuch as it 

 concerneth not only the benefit and profit of the trade of fishing, but 

 also the public behoof and good, if all such grievances should be 

 stoppedj to the end that all persons should reform themselves in their 

 proceedings and not plead ignorance that any prohibition was made, 

 The now Governor of the said country in our said Sovereign Lord 

 the King's name doth straightly charge and command all persons of 

 what nation soever, that shall frequent those parts to exercise the 

 trade of fishing, as well strangers as subjects to our said sovereign 

 Lord the King, that they offend not in any thing forbidden by vir- 

 tue of this proclamation, under the penalties herein specified, and 

 as they will answer to the contrary at their perils. Dated in Cupers 

 Cove the 13th day of August Anno Regni Regis Jacobi Nono 1611. 



First that no ballast, press stones or any thing else hurtful to the 

 harbours be thrown out to the prejudice of the said harbours, but

 under the pain of five pounds for every offence. 



Item that no person destroy deface or any way work any spoil or 

 detriment to any stage, cook room, flakes, spikes, nails or any thing 

 else that belongeth to the said stages whatsoever but that only he or 

 they content themselves with such stage or stages as shall be needful 

 for them and to repair them with timber to be fetched out of the 

 woods and not with the taking down of other stages under the pain 

 of ten pounds for every offence. 



That every Admiral of each harbour for the time being rescue only 

 so much beech and flakes or both as is needful for the number of 

 boats, that he shall use with an overplus, only for one boat more than 

 he hath, and that every person coming after, content himself with 

 what he shall have necessary use for, without keeping or detaining 

 any more to the prejudice of others next coming, unoer the pain of 

 ten pounds, besides satisfaction to be made to the party next coming, 

 that is injured thereby.
