times of the late Rebellions in this Kingdom the fishing in this Kingdom intended by the said Act to be preserved are much decayed to the great prejudice of his Maiestie and his good Subiects And whereas Thomas Walker and Company by their humble Petition Exhibited at this board have declared that for the advancement of Trade and p●eservation of fishing and supply of the City of Dublin and other places in this Kingdom with fish at reasonable Rates and for Traffique beyond the Seas they are ready with their fishermen Boats and nets and other necessaries to carry on the said work effectually without hindring any other person or persons Licensed to fish the accustomed way if they please whereby his Majesties Revenues in his Customs and Trade will be considerably increased the Countrey and Cities supplyed with fish and a considerable sum of money kept in the Kingdom which otherwise will be yearly carried out of the Kingdom And that notwithstanding the said Act so passed least some persons either out of ignorance or wilfulness should obstruct them in the said fishing they therefore by their said Petition humbly besought us to encourage them to prosecute the said fishing without interruption or disturbance Vpon consideration whereof We think sit by this Proclamation to declare and publish that the said Thomas Walker and his Company or Partners and all other fishermen may fish according to the said Act of Parliament without interruption or disturbance whereof the Iudge or Iudges of the Admiralty and all other his Majesties Officers and Ministers and all others whom it may concern are to take notice And We require the Sheriffs of the several Counties within this Kingdom to cause this Proclamation to be published and Proclaimed in and throughout all the said Counties to the end that all persons concerned may take notice thereof and render obedience thereunto accordingly Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin the 15th day of August 1666.
