fifh in the day time, and the manner of filhing 

 there is nearly the fame as that of the Tamwuth 

 Jijhery. The beft fituation for this North fifh-

OF THE YARMOUTH FISHERY. 



The Dutch and French carry on this fifhery as 

 well as the Englifh, with this difference, however, 

 that they are not allowed to come near the coafl of 

 England, in the vicinity of which the Englifh fifh 

 themfelves. It is called the Yarmouth fifhery, be- 

 caufe a great part of the herrings, that are caughtby 

 the Englifh, are brought frefh to Yarmouth, where 

 they are cured. This fifhery is generally more 

 profitable to the Englifh than that of green or dry 

 cod ; and therefore to encourage it they have ex- 

 empted it from all forts of duties. The fifher- 

 men take only a licence. As the Dutch and 

 French are not allowed to bring their herrings to 

 England, they fait them on board their bufles.
