A PROCLAMATION.


WHEREAS in and by an Act of the General Assembly of this Province, passed in the fifth Year of his present Majesty's Reign, intituled, "An Act to regulate the Meth- "od of taking Fish in the River Delaware, and to prevent "Obstructions in the Navigation thereof, and for otlier "Purposes therein mentioned," it is amongst other Things, enacted, "That if any Person or Persons whatsoever, from and after the Publication thereof, shall erect, build, set up, repair or maintain, or be aiding, assisting or abetting in erecting, building, setting up, repairing or maintaining, any Wear, Rack, Basket, Fishing Dam, Pound, or other Device whatsoever, for the taking of Fish within the said River, or that shall fix or fasten any Net or Nets across, or in the said River, or any Part thereof, by which the Fish may be obstructed in going up the said River, or shall take, destroy or spoil any Spawn, Fry or Brood of Fish, or any Kind of Fish whatsoever in any such Wear. Rack, Basket, Fishing Dam, Pound, or other Device aforesaid; every stich Person or Persons so offending, contrary to the true Intent and Meaning of the said Act, being legally con- victed thereof, shall forfeit and pay the Sum of Twenty Pounds, Proclamation Money, for every such Offence (one Moiety to be paid to the Informer, or Prosecutor, the other Moiety to the Overseers of the Highways of the Township or City where such Offender shall reside) or suffer six Months Imprisonment, without Bail or Main- prize, and every such Wear, Rack, Basket, Fishing Dam,


584


NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1769


Pound, Net, or other Device, fastened across, or in the said River, are, by the said Act, declared public Nusances.


And whereas for the more speedy Removal of such Wears, Racks, Baskets, Fishing Dams, Pounds, and other Devices, as are, or shall be erected in the said River, it is, in and by the said Act further enacted, "That any one Justice of the Peace, in any of the Counties adjoining to the said River, shall issue his Warrant to the Overseers of the Highways of the Township next adjacent to the Wear, Rack, Fishing Dam, Pound, or other Device, so erected, requiring the said Overseers respectively forth- with to cause the same to be removed; and the said Over- seers are, by the same Act, impowered and required to summon so many of the Inhabitants of their respective Townships as shall be sufficient for that Purpose, giving them three Days Notice, and to make Return of such their Proceedings to the next Court of General Quarter Ses- sions of the Peace, to be holden for their respective Coun- ties; and that if any Overseer of the Highways to whom such Warrant shall be directed, shall refuse or neglect to perform the Duty by the said Act enjoined and required, he shall, on Conviction, forfeit and pay the Sum of Ten Pounds, for the Use of the Highways in the Township where he shall reside; and that if any Inhabitant, so sum- moned as aforesaid, shall neglect or refuse to attend in Person, or send an able Person in his Stead, to assist in the throwing down, removing and destroying such Wear, Rack, Fishing Dam, Basket, Pound, or other Device, so erected as aforesaid, in such Manner as the said Overseer shall direct, he shall forfeit and pay the Sum of Ten Shil- lings.


And to prevent any Delay that may happen through Default of any of the said Justices, Overseers or other Persons, it is farther enacted, "That it shall be lawful for

1769]


any Person or Persons whatsoever to break, throw down, remove and destroy all or any Wcars, Fishing Dams, Racks, Baskets, Pounds, or other Devices erected, or to be erected, or laid in the said River, for catching the Fish, or obstructing the Navigation as aforesaid; and that any Person convicted of assaulting, hindering or obstructing any Person or Persons in pulling down, breaking, remov- ing or destroying. any of the said Devices or Obstructions in the said River, shall, for every such Offence, forfeit and pay the Sum of Five Pounds.


And for the more effectual detecting and punishing Of- fenders against the said Act, it is therein further enacted and declared, "That the Constables of each respective Township, adjoining to any Part of the said River, shall, and they are hereby required and enjoined, under the Pen- alty of Five Pounds, carefully and diligently to inspect and view, once at least in every 14 Days, from the first Day of March, to the first Day of December, in every Year, such Parts of the said River as shall be adjoining to their respective Townships, and having Knowledge of any Offences against the said Act, forthwith to give In- formation thereof to some Justice of the Peace, and of the Name or Names of the Offenders, and the said Justice is thereby required to issue his Warrant, directed to the Con- stables, to apprehend the said Offender or Offenders, in order that he or they may be tried for the said Offence."


And it is further enacted and declared, in and by the said Act, "That from and after the first Day of March 1767, it shall not be lawful for any Person or Persons whatsoever, to fish in the said River, with any Seine or Net, the Meshes whereof shall be found to be less than two Inches and a Half when extended, under the Penalty of Five Pounds."


In order therefore that the good Intentions of the said


5 86

Act may be filled, and that no Person whatsoever may plead Ignorance of the same, I have thought fit, by and with the Advice and Consent of His Majesty's Council, to issue this Proclamation, hereby commanding and strictly requiring all Justices of the Peace, Constables, Overseers of the Highways, and all other Persons whatsoever, to whom the Execution of the said Act is intrusted, to be careful and vigilant in the Duties therein required of them, as they will answer the contrary to their Peril.


Given under my Hand and Scal at Arms, in the City of Burlington, this Fifth Day of December, in the Tenth Year of His Majesty's Reign, Annoque Domini, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-nine.

New-York, December 18. The 6th Instant a Session of the General Assembly of the Province of New-Jersey, ended at Burlington, during which Session, Twenty-six Acts passed, which were assented to by the Governor, and the Assembly prorogued to meet at Perth-Amboy : Among those Acts passed are, An Act for the Support of the Government: An Act for striking £. 100,000, in Bills of Credit, with a Suspending Clause 'till his Majesty's Pleasure is known 2 An Act to settle the Quotas of the several Counties: An Act for the Trial of Causes under Ten Pounds: An Act for the Relief of insolvent Debtors: An Act for the supplying the Barracks: An Act against Horse-Stealing: An Act to regulate the Ferries: An Act for the Preservation of Oysters: An Act for the Preserva- tion of Deer: and, An Act to lay a Duty on Negroes im- ported .- The New York Gazette or Weekly Post Boy, No. 1407, December 18, 1769.

On July 4, 1770, Andrew Elliot was the only commissioner present, and he made a memorandum that a meeting would be called "on the first Tuesday in May next," 1771 .- Minutes of Commission, in N. Y. Hist. Soc .; N. J. Archives. XXVII., 199. No further meetings were held. In the meantime the New York Legislature passed an act. Feb. 16, 1771. establishing the boundary line between New York and New Jersey, in accordance with the report of the commissioners. The Legislature of New Jersey passed a similar act, Sept. 26, 1772.


2 An act for the same purpose was passed by the Legislature, May 10, 1768, but Governor Franklin withheld his assent until the King's pleas- ure should be expressed .- N. J. Archives, XVII., 495; X., 49, 60. The act was disallowed by the King in Council, May 26, 1769, and June 6. 1769, on the ground that it made the bills of credit to be issued legal tender for the payment of all debts, private as well as public .- N. J. Archires, X., 99, 103, 106. 115. On December 6, 1769, the Legislature passed a new act for the issue of £100.000 in bills of credit. and instead of making them legal tender for the payment of private debts provided that they should be redeemable by the loan commissioners in payment of the moreys borrowed from them. Even this was objected to by the King's advisers, and this act also was disallowed by the King in Coun- cil. The act of the King was bitterly resented in New Jersey, and the Legislature was with great difficulty dissuaded by Governor Franklin from retaliating by withholding appropriations for the maintenance of the barracks within the Province .- N. J. Archives, XVIII., 103; X., 150, 196, 197 (note), 200, 237, 297.
