The following Report was adopted, and ordered
to be printed and circulated : —

THE Committee of the ASSOCIATION FOR THE
RELIEF OF THE MANUFACTURING AND LABOURING
POOR, proceed to lay before the Subscribers and
the Public, a statement of the measures which
have engaged their attention since the last appeal
to their liberality.

The Committee having renewed their inquiries,
and further circulated the intelligence of the re-
lief they were enabled to afford, proceeded to a
due examination of the numerous cases of distress
still calling for assistance in the manufacturing

districts. Continuing to act on the principles
\vhich had regulated their former gifts, thej af-
forded help to local charities for the relief of the
places, and to the extent subjoined —

These donations were received with the most
grateful feelings, and afforded timely and impor-
tant relief. In the statements of distress forwarded
to the Committee from the manufacturing dis-

tricts, the leading subject of complaint was the
scarcity and exorbitant prices of all the necessaries
of life. From the commencement of their labours,
the Committee had, therefore, endeavoured so to
administer the bounty of the Subscribers as to in?
crease and economise the general stock of food.
To promote the consumption of fish among the
poor of the interior was thus suggested ; and sup-
plies of corned and salted fish were obtained, on
moderate terms, by offers to the fishermen to take
their surplus quantities of cod and herrings in good
condition. The fish procured through this expe-
dient, would, without the encouragement afforded
by it, have been thrown overboard.

As soon as these cheap supplies were furnished,
the Committee substituted grants offish for those
of money ; and the readiness with which the poor
received this diet in parts where it was before ge-
nerally unknown, encouraged the Committee to
increase their attention to a sphere of labour con-
nected with so many important objects of general
good. By fully promulgating the bounty of the
Subscribers, the Committee had obtained the most
ample information as to the wants and sufferings
of the manufacturing districts, at the time of the
last General Meeting, and lost no time in afford-
ing the assistance intended by the liberality of the
contributors. The number relieved, very shortly
after that period, was thus considerable, and the
means of furnishing that relief were greatly ang-

mentedby collections, kindly made on the Fast-day
following the Meeting, by clergymen and ministers
oi religion of various denominations, which the Com-
mittee avail themselves of this opportunity thank-
fully to acknowledge. The " Fish Association,"
formed about the same time, considering that this
Committee were efficiently pursuing its own ob-
ject, has more recently, in the most liberal manner,
transfered the whole of its remaining stock,
being £584 2s. 2d. in further augmentation of
their funds.

Happier times for all classes of manufacturer*
were, however, from that period fast approach-
ing. Trade had begun to revive, the necessaries
of life were soon afforded to the manufacturing
poor, through the usual channels, and the circum-
stances, which in the first instance, had called forth
the benevolence of the public, ceased to exist. —
The Committee have, however, been gratified to
observe, that although the measures originally
adopted, were intended merely to furnish a particu-
lar relief, and to surmount a temporary evil, they
were found to be such as were connected with
general interests of uniform value and importance.
The Committee have been happy to reflect, that
the Association approved of the extension of the
original objects of the institution to so important
u measure of public welfare, as an increase of the
consumption of iish, and the encouragement of the
liritibh Fisheries. An extension of the original

object of relief of the industrious poor it certainly
must be considered ; but it is one which well pro-
vides for them, while it opens a source of benefits
to all. The re-instatement of the labouring classes
of society, tog-ether with the tendency which the
efforts of the Committee had, nearly from their
outset taken towards assisting and obtaining assist-
ance from the fisheries, are circumstances which
thus have necessarily directed their late operations
almost exclusively to that important purpose.

It would seem on a cursory view to be a fact,
for which no adequate or satisfactory reason could
be given, that while so many of the inhabitants
of this country are commendably employed in toil-
ing hard for the cultivation of the earth, in the
laborious exertions necessary from opening and
enriching the soil, gathering in the harvest, and
attending to all the detail of labour, even to
the ultimate distribution to the consumer, with an
ample deduction of expense from their hard-earned
profits — an ample supply of excellent nutritious
food surrounding our shores, and in a state always
ready for our use, should be Left comparatively un-
touched, or left for strangers to possess, and some-
times to collect for us to purchase from them ; and
that this should be the case when the taking of
it secures to us collateral benefits of inestimable
importance, and forms a main support of that
national dignity and pre-eminence vvliich is de-
rived from the excellence and bravery of our

sailors ; initiated to maritime toils by early employ-
ment in the fisheries. The Committee repeat that
these resources are comparatively untouched ; for
it is a fact that, with the exception of a small pro-
portion of the country, there is no supply of fish
•which merits the name of a supply, or it is such a
supply as would readily be considered a famine,
•were it applied to any other article of food in
general use among us.

Although no reason can be assigned which can
sufficiently account for so little having been effec-
tually done to supply the country with fish, it will
not be difficult to point out what has been, and in a
measure continues to be, the sources of this evil,
as it now presents itself; and we may notice,

1. The unskilful interference which from the
earliest times has been practised with the fisheries,
in order to promote their interests, and the want of
encouragements suited to their nature, and the
character of the persons engaged in them.

Were we to judge of the condition of the fish-
eries from the number of attempts which have
been made for their regulation and improvement,
we must certainly conclude that nothing could be
wanting to render their prosperity complete — the
statute book abounds with enactments, intended
to give them every sort of encouragement ; re-
peated ordinances, even under Protestant govern-
ments, for the eating of fish on particular days ;
compulsory regulations for entering into the service

of the fisheries, and for not deserting them ; prohi-
bitions against taking fish, except of proper sizes,
and at suitable periods of the year., — companies
almost innumerable established with capitals, vary-
ing in amount up to the extent of half a million,
which for the most part have adopted the measure
of becoming themselves concerned in the trade,
and engaging in fishing adventures, and which also
for the most part have thus completely failed in
their purpose, and broken up their establishments.
For in this case little of that superintendance can be
exercised, which in other cases must serve to pro-
mote attention and so quicken industry. Here,
there is no inviting spot where the owner of the
soil may survey the progress of cultivation, and
daily ascertain the sloth or diligence of those who
labour in it. The scene of operation is in this
instance remote from observation. The produce
of these toils is such as baffles all calculations of
its probable amount, and whether his servants
have been negligent or industrious, whether they
have brought home all their produce, or done that
which is known to have been frequently done in
these cases, sold it on the opposite coast, he has
no means of ascertaining.

The Committee endeavoured to profit by the
attempts which have been before made to promote
the general supply of fish, and the effects which
have followed them, and to avoid, as much as
possible, the errors which they had the advantage,

8

not possessed by their predecessors in this sphere
of exertion, of having thus suggested for their
caution. They have therefore entirely avoided
any immediate and direct interference in the ob-
taining of the fish : they have attempted collate-
rally to afford the fishermen encouragement, to
contribute to their existing and natural induce-
ments to exertion, and not further to connect
themselves with their concerns. The nature and
effect of these attempts will now be noticed.

Many years since there existed a Cod Fishery,
carried on from the shores of this country to the
North Seas and Iceland, in which about two hun-
dred vessels were employed ; but this fishery, from
the operation of the duties on salt, had been nearly
if not completely annihilated.

In the year 1782, some gentlemen of Yarmouth
represented this public loss to a Committee of the
House of Commons, and offered to re-establish
that important fishery, if this impediment were
removed. It not being found expedient that
the measure should then be adopted, the fishery
was not revived. The willingness which had
been discovered in the manufacturing districts to
receive, and even to purchase supplies of fish,
together with the prospect offered of the sale of it
in the general market of the metropolis for home
consumption, encouraged the Association to pro-
pose to the general body of fishermen to purchase,
at the rate of <£ 18 per ton, all the corned cocj

9

4aken and cured at the North Seas and Iceland
Fisheries which they could not otherwise dispose of,
and should bring to Mr. J E. Saunders. the agent
to the Association, in good marketable condition.
It should be understood that the vessels that
engage in this fishery are furnished with large
w,ells in which a considerable quantity of fish is
preserved, and brought alive to the London Market.
The live fish form about one-third of their cargo ;
the rest of it consists of the fish which they salt
and pile i.i the holds of the vessels. In the first
season that the above inducement was offered to
the fishermen, the Committee had the satisfaction
to find, that one hundred tons of salted cod, and
fifty tons of fresh cod, were brought to the London
Market : none of which would have been other-
wise taken. In the next season, the Committee
renewed an offer which had before produced so
useful an effect ; the consequence was, that the
supply then brought amounted to two hundred
tons of salted, and one hundred tons of fresh cod ;
and in the year 1813, when the Committee again
renewed their offer, no less a quantity than six
hundred tons of salt cod, and three hundred tons
of fresh cod, were thus add-'d to the common stock
of human food. The whole of these large quan-
tities offish wrre disposed of in the manner before
noticed, and formed a material article of the food
of that immense body of French prisoners which
have since quitted our shores.

10

In the last year, tlie Committee were proceeding
again to adopt a measure of encouragement fraught
with such important benefits, when an impediment
occurred which they mention with deep regret.

The allowances of salt, duty free, for the pur-
poses of the North Sea and Iceland Fisheries, were
regulated by the 25th Geo. III. cap 65 ; and the
curing of the fish in the former instances in which
the Committee were concerned, had proceeded
with due sanction under this Act. When the
fishermen, however, were about to proceed on
their voyages in the last year, difficulties arose as
to their entering under that statute ; and it was
suggested that the allowances of salt given by it
had been repealed by subsequent enactments. Se-
venty pounds weight of salt for the dry salting of
one hundred weight of cod are barely sufficient
for the purpose. But, probably through some
obscurities which had incidentally arisen on a
multifarious subject, the 38th Geo. III. cap. 89,
which allows only fifty pounds weight of salt for
the cure of one hundred weight of cod ; and even
the 41st Geo. III. cap. 2\, by which twenty-two
pounds of salt per hundred weight are allowed, to
preserve fish for a few days after its landing, were
successively mentioned as the Acts under which
their entries should be made. It has been since
found, that one of the masters of a fishing boat
actually entered under the latter statute, having
J>een directed so to do, and concluding that all

11

was right. An alarm, however, had spread through-
out the body of fishermen, and when, by the kind
interference of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
an order to the Excise was obtained for the fisher-
men being allowed the like quantities of salt, duty
free, which they had before received, they for the
most part wholly abandoned that fishery for the
season. The number of vessels which were about
to proceed to it was double that of the preceding
year, in which nine hundred tons of cod were
obtained ; and the injury thus produced may be
readily estimated, for only about one hundred and
fifty tons of live and salted cod were furnished by
these fisheries in the last year. The Committee
have submitted to the consideration of Govern-
ment, a measure which would completely obviate
the impediment to the prosecution of those fisheries,
connected with the renewal of the 41st Geo. III.
cap. ^1, being the Act under which the bulk of
the salt-fish consumed in London is cured. But
owing to the slow progress which the regular
inquiries, perhaps in some degree necessarily make,
the Bill passed only a few days before the close of
the Session, without the remedy to these fisheries.
The Committee have every reason to acknowledge
the great attention paid to their representations by
his Mnjesty's Government ; but it is a fact which
they cannot but seriously lament, that owing to
the allowances of salt, duty free, not having been
in a state of complete arrangement, fish to a very

12

large amount, which has bern taken within the
last three or four months, has been thrown over-
board by the fishermen, to the great loss of them-
selves and the Public.

The Committee mention the above circumstances
as they occur, in the course of a statement of
facts ; but feel it incumbent on them to add, from
observation, that a more anxious desire for assist-
ing the British Fisheries, and that deserving class
of persons who labour in them, can no where
more warmly be felt, than in that quarter where
they naturally look for their cjiief support and
encouragement.

The measure which may next be mentioned is,
that of purchases made by the Committee of large
quantities of salt for sale to the fishermen, as the
particular circumstances of the fisheries may re-
quire it. The quantity of salt consumed in the
North Sea and Iceland stations had become very
considerable, and purchases proportionably large
were made by the Committee in the last year to
meet that demand, and further encourage their
exertions. Through the hinderances which have
been stated, so large a stock has been left on hand
that the Committee must at least have greatly
limited the amount of their encouragement for this
year, if indeed the contingencies of a measure which
had become so considerable, should have rendered
any attempt on this subject with their reduced
means at all advisable.

13

Another expedient of encouragement adopted
by the Committee, and operating on the like prin-
ciple, has been that of offering to the fishermen
to take all their surplus mackarel at. the rate of
10s. the 120.* This stimulus has been continued
from the year 1812 to the present season, with a
success much beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tion. With the certainty of obtaining at all
hazards some reward for their labour, fresh adven-
turers have been attracted to the Mackarel Fishery;
the utmost activity and perseverance has been
excited among ihe fishermen ; the daily supply
has continued to increase long before any necessity
existed for purchases by the Association ; and at
length so much attention had been excited at home
among the lower order of retailers, and others,
that the quantity which it has been necessary
for the Committee to purchase, has been of com-
paratively very trifling amount, the loss by no
means considerable, and many millions of this fish,
a plentiful supply of which is so important a benefit
to the poor in the metropolis, have been added to
the general store of food that, without this sti-
mulus, the public would never have obtained.

The Committee have also at various times pur-
chased quantities of herrings, for the supply of the
interior ; and these purchases have operated oa

* This measure wa^, suggested to the Committee by Mr.
Hale, otSpitalfiekfc.

the like principle of encouragement to the fisheries
which influenced the other attempts which have
been noticed.

The true secret of stimulating the industry of
the fishermen, and promoting the supply of fish,
appearing to the Committee to have been thus
discovered, they directed their attention to extend
the benefit beyond the supply of Macfcarel and
Iceland Cod, to the general supply of Cod and
Flat-fish in the metropolis. They soon found,
however, that their limited resources presented an
insuperable obstacle to their making the attempt.
The total sum which the Public has entrusted to
their management, including the receipt from the
Fish Association, has not amounted to £17,000
for the relief of all the manufacturing districts,
and for their general purposes. They therefore
submitted to the consideration of his Majesty's
Government the following proposal : —

A bounty of os. per cwt. to be granted on all the
live cod fish, haddocks, ling, and halibuts,
taken by British fishing vessels, which, in
the months of October, November, Decem-
ber, January, February, and March, shall
be sold at Billingsgate Market at, or under,
4d. per Ib. ; and which, in the other months,
shall be sold there at, or under, 2d. per Ib. :
and of 2s. per cwt. on all the live plaice,
skate, thoinbacks, maids, and other flat fish,

15

taken by British fishing vessels, which, in the
first mentioned months, shall be sold at Bil-
lingsgate Market at, or under, 2d. per Ib. ;
and which in the other months shall be sold
thereat, or under, Id. per Ib. The bounty
in each year to be -continued in distribution
until the sum of £4000 shall thus be ex-
pended in it.

The proposed bounty would operate precisely
on the same principle as the purchasing of the
surplus quantities of fish. It would afford, to the
extent of it, an indemnity against absolute loss,
when the supply should be very large, and the
prices consequently low. It would be distributed
only when the necessity was greatest, and, as in
the other cases, since all the fishermen would
seek to obtain the higher prices, it would be a
benefit which all would wish to avoid with the
losing sales, on which alone the bounty would be
payable.

From the experience which the Committee have
already acquired on this method of encourage-
ment, and the opinions of those who are well
qualified to judge of the effect, it would seem
satisfactorily evident, that the general supply of
fish in London would be augmented by this bounty
to an extent very far indeed beyond the increase
obtained by any former one of the like amount.

The Committee would here further observe,

16

that a variety of little grievances and hardships,
which must be expected even under the best pos-
sible public arrangements that could be suggested,,
are constantly occurring to the fishermen, through
ignorance, inadvertence, and accident, which fre-
quently demand the attention of the Committee.
They are too minute to particularize, and sepa-
rately may not be considered of any general
moment. They are often, however, of serious
consequence to the poor fishermen they concern,
and render it quite necessary that such an institu-
tion as the Association should exist, to obtain for
them the proper remedy.

2. The duties on salt are constantly producing
the most serious impediments to the progress of the
fisheries. The present bearings of this evil may
thus be stated : — The duties on salt amount to
more than twenty-nine times the price of it ; or,
in other words, when salt is purchased, more than
twenty-nine equal parts of the sum are paid for
duty, and less than one such part for its in-
trinsic value. The salt, with the duty on it, thus
becomes so expensive as to be placed quite beyond
the procurement of the fishermen. No fish could
therefore be salted by them, but for certain allow-
ances of salt, duty free, afforded under the super-
intendance of the Excise. The large amount of
these duties offers the most powerful induce-
ments to the commission of frauds on the revenue ;
and consequently, were it not for vigilant attention.

17

and heavy penalties, they would be practised to
a great extent. The Acts which have provided
the allowances are extremely numerous, and not a
little confusion has prevailed among them. With
regard, however, to the removal of these duties,
there are some to whom it may be proper to re-
mark, that it is much easier to point out a mis-
chief, than to suggest a remedy ; that they have
continued for centuries, during the administra-
tion of all the eminent characters which have for
so long a period of our history occupied the sta-
tions of authority, that none of them have seen
the period at which the abolition of the salt duties
was thought expedient ; and that they have now
become a very important source of revenue.

It can be scarcely necessary therefore to add,
with reference to the allusions made in the course
of this Report to one branch of them, that the
Committee are by no means to be understood as
complaining of an inconvenience overlooked or
needlessly tolerated. The Public may be assured,
it is a subject which is not forgotten, and that a
complete remedy would be provided, were it im-
mediately practicable. It is to be remarked, how-
ever, that the fisheries of no other country have
any hinderance or embarrassment whatever from
salt duties. In France, where, indeed, the op-
pression of it chiefly arose from the purchasing
of the taxed article having been compulsory, the
duties on salt are altogether abolished. They
c

1$

were abolished by Pedro III. King of Arragon,
in the year 1^83 ; and so complete was his per-
ception of their mischief, that he decreed that
neither he nor any of his successors should have
power again to impose them.
- o. Another general impediment to the progress
of the British Fisheries, is the inability of poor
fishermen to incur tire heavy expense of purchas-
ing vessels, and the excessive charges of their out-
tit. From a very early period the Dutch have
been our most successful rivals in the fisheries.
This may be readily accounted for by the consider-
ation, that in addition to their being wholly free
from the salt duties, and to the encouragement of
the fisheries being there nationally and individually
almost a principle of action, the expense of every
sort of necessary to make a fishing voyage is, in
Holland, trifling, compared with what British
fishermen incur. The business of a master fish-
erman, with us, requires some substantial capital
for its support. It is all hazard and uncertainty ;
with deductions from his profits, so large as to
form a serious binderance to his acquiring that
proportion of property which is adequate to the
pursuit.

Thus a material part of the capital which sup-
ports the fisheries belongs to the salesman, between
whom and the fishermen the most intimate con-
nexion of interests subsists ; and without whose
absistance.it may much be doubted, whether, in the

19

present state of things the British Fisheries could
retain their standing. For all the capital dispo-
sable in the fisheries, ample outlets present them-
selves through the ordinary channels. The im-
provements of the fishermen are slow,, their pre-
judices strong, and the' condition neither of mind
or body is such as to stimulate them to any zeal
in correcting errors in their modes of business

From the earliest times it has been a just sub-
ject of complaint, that the inhabitants of our
island have been constantly paying a large sum to
the Dutch for the produce of the ocean around
it. It is said, that in the reign of Queen Elizabeth
four hundred Dutch boats were constantly em-
ployed in obtaining fish to be sold to the English.
In the year 1750, the inhabitants of Lowestoffand
Southwold, in Suffolk, were under the necessity of
petitioning the House of Commons for relief, the
Dutch having persevered in fishing so near the
shore, and with such effect, as to sweep the fish
out of their bays. The Dutch annoyed them with
one hundred vessels at a time ; and as they stated,
allowed the British fishermen in those parts to
follow their occupations neither by day nor night.
The Committee have found that a trade for tur-
bots, very injurious to the revenue, is now carried
on with Holland, in which several thousand pounds
per annum are paid wholly in specie to the Dutch,
by our own fishermen, to take for them turhots
out of the ocean. The Committee thought it
c 2

proper to make a representation of this circum-
stance to Government, and to suggest the propriety
of a bounty, small in amount, being offered to
British fishermen, in order to afford them some
relief frem their peculiar disadvantages, and in-
duce them to enter on the turbot fishery, which
they are now almost hopelessly attempting. Were
some trifling encouragement given them, there
is every reason to expect that their superior skill
and perseverance would soon render this fishery
their own, and allow that excellent fish no longer
to be confined as a luxury to the tables of the
rich.

Lastly ; it may be observed, as another general
impediment, that the market of this immense me-
tropolis naturally induces the body of fishermen
to resort hither with their large cargoes of this
perishable article, while scarcely any exertion has
been made to forward it for the general supply of
the interior, nor any sufficient arrangements for its
due distribution even throughout the ample range
of London and the parts adjacent.

So powerful an attraction is the London market,
that it is not a rare occurrence for sea-ports to be
worse supplied than the metropolis, — from whence
lish is not unfrequently forwarded to the inhabi-
tants of those parts. Fish has been forwarded to
the London market — there purchased, and re-
turned for the supply of persons residing at the
sea-ports from whence it first came for sale. The

attraction of the London market, is however a
necessary effect, which must continue to operate
in its natural course. To give it a more bene-
ficial operation in that course has been at-
tempted, and the attempts will now be stated, with
the local impediments which they are intended to
remedy.

The Committee would here in the first place
notice the impediment to the supply of fish in the
metropolis, arising from the variations of wind and
tide, in conveying the fish through the windings
of the river. Before the encouragement offered by
the Association to the mackarel fisheries, it was
the common practice, when a very slack market
was expected, to throw all the fish overboard
at the mouth of the Thames, a sufficient induce-
ment not being afforded for encountering the
hazards and expense of conveying it to London.
This practice still prevails with regard to other
kinds of fish, and even in the mackarel season
which has just closed, immense quantities of them
were lost, for the reason that the wind being unfa-
vourable, many of the fishermen were with their
utmost exertions, unable to reach the London mar-
ket with their fish when in good condition. Two
remedies have been proposed for this evil ; the
one is the establishment of a road from Holy
Haven, on the Essex side of the river, for the
conveyance of the fish by land carriage, and the
other lately suggested is the use of boats to tow

the vessels against wind and tide by a steam power.
With regard to the former measure, it may be
noticed, that the fish is already frequently landed
at Gravesend, and brought from thence in ma^
chines. Gravesend is, however, nearer the me-
tropolis, and the distance from Holy Haven to
Gravesend, though not a very considerable, is
sometimes a difficult part of the voyage. The
Committee having understood, that the Fish
Association were attending to this measure, sus-
pended their consideration of it : this, however,
they are now resuming. A serious, though not
possibly an insurmountable, obstacle arises from
the circumstance, that the Haven is not in the
line of any public road; that horses would be
wanted for the conveyance of fish only when the
•wind should be in a degree unfavourable; that
when required they might often be so in consider-
able numbers ; and that a new road which should
be made, or an old one which should be repaired,
would lead to a public road, where post horses
cannot he obtai ed — an obstacle unknown on the
Gravesend route.

Steam boats for towing the fishing vessels up
the river, is a measure recently brought before the
Committee, and to which due attention will be
afforded.

The Committee would next notice some circum-
stances conne( tt<i with the London fish market.

The London fish market appears to have been.,

in early times, at Queenhithe, The spot seems,
however, to have suited the convenience of the
public, more than that of the fishermen. In the
eleventh year of the reign of King Henry III.
(1226), the constable of the tower was ordered to
compel the boats arriving with fish to proceed to
the market at Queenhithe; and Edward IV. in
the third year of his reign (1462), directed that
two out of three vessels arriving with fish, should
proceed to the market at Queenhithe, that the
other should remain at Billingsgate, and pre-
ference be always shewn to the market at the
former place At that early period, when the
population of London appears not to have been a
twenty- fourth part of its present amount, the me-
tropolis was therefore furnished with two fish mar-
kets. The market at Queenhithe has been wholly
discontinued, probably for some centuries, and it
is not known that any other attempt has been made
to establish a second market for fish, except that
near Westminster Bridge. The latter was opened
under the authority of an Act, 22nd Geo. II.
for the amendment of which a Bill was brought in,
which was lost, and two Acts were passed, one in
the thirty-second, and another in the thirty-ninth
year of that reign. The inhabitants of Westmin-
ster were extremely anxious for the success of the
measure. It excited much interest, and under-
went abundance of discussion. It appears, how-
ever, never fully to have taken effect, and its

24

failure was at the time attributed to the difficulty
which the fishermen had to encounter from the
variations of the tide, the fall of water at London
Bridge, and the increase of distance.

That all the fish for the supply of this great
metropolis, should have so long continued to be
brought to a place in size so completely unfit for
the purpose as Billingsgate market, is unaccountr
able. The crowding and confusion prevailing
there, during the early hours of sale are not to be
described ; the injurious effect of this inconve-
nience to the interests of the fisheries and the
public, will however, be readily understood. The
fish is sold in a kind of auction : the place is
completely forbidden ground to all unaccustomed
to combat with its difficulties : many salesmen are
scarcely able in the general scramble to seize a
spot at which to sell their fish, and some are ready
to resign their engagements, despairing of relief
from this intolerable inconvenience. ifitMntitr'ii

The spot occupied by the fish stalls and stand-
ings is a small contracted slip of ground, of
sufficient breadth only to permit one row of them
on each side of it, and leave a narrow passage for
purchasers. There are houses on one side of this
place, the owners of which claim the exclusive
right of u!l the adjoining standings; and would
thus convert into private property one entire half
of that part of the market which is appropriated to
sales. A small part of it is unavoidably applied tq

25

other general purposes. The consequence of the
fearful crowding and tumult unavoidably arising
is, thatlhe salesman is compelled to sell the fish in
a random manner, with a preference to any one
who will buy a large proportion, and thus a system
of regrating is established clearly injurious in its
effect, aiid <>' which the Public are probably little
aware. There is a numerous set of persons who
attend Billingsgate, passing under the quaint ap-
pellation of " Bomarees/' whose business it is to
watch all the favourable opportunities of the mar-
ket, and to interpose their dealings between th£
salesmen and the fishmongers, as the variations of
it shall render expedient. They are generally very
active and expert, and are frequently the most
successful in occupying stations of sale, while
many of the regular salesmen are absolutely thrust
out of it. The salesmen whose business is not
considerable are thus particularly inconvenienced.
These intermediate dealers are the persons who are
expected to buy large quantities of fish, which in
the general tumult it is contended would otherwise
be sold with great difficulty. The fishmongers
purchase to a great amount of these persons, who
of course charge them precisely the prices which
their dexterity has been able to promote. When
the supply is very scanty their opportunities of
bargaining are proportionably multiplied ; and
when it is not so there is often an unequal compe-
tition between them and the fishmongers, who,

26

when they are offering a price for a small quantify,
will be superseded by a *' Bomaree/' proposing a
larger purchase. The market is under the su-
perintendance of the city of London, whose officers
attend it, and hold situations there of expensive
purchase and considerable gain, derived from fees
greatly augmented by the attendance of the irregu-
lar dealers above noticed. These persons are per-
haps very successful in concealing the nature of
their pursuits, for it is certainly understood to be
the duty of the officers to prevent these practices ;
and some years since a regulation was enforced
that they should not commence their sales before
ten o'clock, which is after the fishmongers have
generally completed their purchases.

The first object to which at this point the Com-
mittee directed their attention, was that of in-
creasing the size of the present market, or of
removing it to some contiguous spot of suitable
dimensions. The fire at the late Custom-house
seemed to afford a place in every respect fit for
the purpose. It is understood to be held by the
Crown at a fee farm rent. The measure has been
laid before his Majesty's Government, has been
received with the accustomed attention, and is
now under their consideration. The profits ac-
tually derived by the corporation of London
amount, it is believed, to the sum of but from
£60 to £10 per annum. The multiplication of
shops and standings for the sale of lish, within

27

that ample range, the proportionate increase of
any fees that may be due to the City, as the regu-
lar supervisors, on account of them, the various
advantages which would thus be derived by the
fishermen, the salesmen, the retailers, and the
co mm unity at large, awaken the greatest anxiety
that no trifling obstacles should supersede this
great improvement.

The Committee having thus noticed two mate-
rial impediments to the supply of fish in London,
proceed to consider some circumstances relative to
its consumption affecting the metropolis, and the
country in general, and the endeavours they have
made on that subject. From the intimate con-
nexion between the demand and the supply, this
has been, however, in some degree anticipated.

There is no sort of public or general arrange-
ment for the distribution of fish on its arrival, at
the few yards of ground appropriated for the mar-
ket at Billingsgate. A fishmonger residing near
it may have the fish that he has purchased taken to
his shop by the inconvenient method of hiring a
porter. If it be at a distance, he must constantly
employ a horse and cart, and no one unable to
incur that expense, should attempt to open a fish
shop far from the market. The poor walking
dealers frequently after traversing a distance of
two or three miles to this general resort, find
there is no supply within their reach, and thus
have to return with the loss probably of the earn-

ings of an entire day. The indispensable necessity
of a constant outlet for all the fish brought to the
market,, renders the dealings of these persons of
serious importance to the Public, particularly in
distributing the fish in the metropolis, when the
supply happens to be excessive. Indeed., the
utility of encouraging and increasing the number
of these little retailers, seems to be universally
acknowledged. The Committee have, therefore,
by no means considered it beneath their notice to
aflbrd them some assistance suited to their situa-
tion, and the result has fully induced them to
persevere in doing so.*

An application, on the subject of a supply of
fish, was lately made to the Committee, from some
respectable individuals residing in the parish of
Pancras, and in the northern parts of that of St.
Mary-le-bone, who stated, that throughout a very
large district in that quarter of immense popula-

* The method adopted was that of purchasing' some asses
and panniers to let to them at a trifling sum for hire, under the
superintendance of one of the servants of the Institution, and
it may be useful to state, that benevolent persons wishing to
assist any poor individuals, and who will engage for their
honesty, may in this way materially serve them, and benefit
the Public. On. application to the Secretary, be would give
the necessary instructions to the superintendant of that little
concern. Parish officers, and masters of workhouses might
thus very usefully employ many poor persons, who are now
unfortunately but a burthen to the community.

29

tion, fish was scarcely ever to be obtained ; fish-
mongers not having been inclined to open shops at
so remote a distance from the market. It was
suggested to them, that one or more large depots
might be formed there, and be supplied with
fish by caravans, to be forwarded from Billings-
gate, in quantities proportioned to the prices and
supply for the day, and that such arrangements as
to the prices of sale at these stations might be made,
as might render them an accommodation to retail
dealers choosing to resort thither, as well as a ge-
neral benefit to the inhabitants. They were in-
formed, that the Committee were ready to supply
them at the cost prices, as soon as they should be
prepared to receive the fish. It will shortly be
seen, from what the Committee has done on the1
same principle in country places, that the measure
is clearly practicable, and that if the inhabitants
of the parts before mentioned, or any parts alike
contiguous to the metropolis should still remain
tinsupplied with fish of the best quality, and on
very moderate terms, it will really be only for the
reason that sufficient zeal does not exist to raise a
trifling fund in order to commence operations, and
provide for contingencies, and to take a little
trouble of superintendance and arrangement. The
Committee repeat, that they are quite ready to
afford a supply of fresh and salt fish on the above
principle, to any parts adjoining the metropolis

so

which are now unfurnished with that article of
food.

The fish obtained, by persons resident in the
country, is little more than that which a person
calling himself a fishmonger, purchases generally
from some London fishmonger, for a gentleman's
table, in fulfilment of a particular order, or which
is less frequently the case, it is that which is bought
for such an occasion directly of the London fish-
monger. Thus to the price at the market is added
the usual profit of the London fishmonger, with
that addition which the professed dealer in the
country finds it necessary to make for the trouble
of an occasional order, so that their fish may
generally be considered as forbidden food. The
Committee were informed by the clergymen of one
of the midland county towns, that fish was as great
a rarity with them, as in the interior of the Con-
tinent.

The natural anxiety of the fishermen to press
with their cargoes to the London market, and the
disqualification of these persons, and in truth, for
the most part, of the body of dealers in fish, both
personal and circumstantial, to produce any con-
siderable improvement in the trade, have been
already noticed. The latter must serve as a reason
for the singular fact, that, notwithstanding the
comparative greatness of the London supply, and
that the country is so very scantily provided with

31

that food, no particular exertions had been made
for forwarding it thither by land carriage. The
steps which the Committee have taken for promo-
ting this object they proceed to mention.

It may,, perhaps, be useful to premise, that, the
first attempt made for the conveyance of fish bj
land carriage, was by Captain Blake, at the com-
mencement of the reign of his present Majesty.
That active persevering friend of the fisheries
caused several fish machines to be constructed at
his own expense, and shops to be opened at all the
principal markets in London, to which fish from
Torbay, and various sea-ports, were conveyed for
sale. The undertaking was, however, too consi-
derable for a single individual ; and he was com-
pelled to resign the measure. But he had established
ils practicability and value ; and from that period
to the present, large quantities of fish have con-
stantly,, from time to time, been conveyed to Lon-
don, on the plan which he had arranged, from sea-
ports, where the industry of the fisherman is pro-
portionably excited by this additional facility of
sale. The Committee have endeavoured to extend'
the like measure to the supply of the interior with
fresh fish.

They have offered to towns within a circuit of
about one hundred miles from the metropolis, to
afford them a supply of fresh and corned fish, by
carriages which contain from about 20 to 30 ewt.

if at a distance exceeding forty miles, and by light
carts, which will carry about seven hundredweight,
should this method be preferred, where the place
is within that distance, on respectable persons in
the particular towns undertaking the superintend-
ance, and for early returns. The fish is sent as
regularly as the cost price in the market will
permit; to this is added a sum to cover all ex-
penses of carriage, &c. The Committee may men-
tion Marlow and Wickham, in Bucks ; Bir-
mingham, with the adjacent towns ; Henley, in
Oxfordshire ; and Maidenhead, in Berks ; as hav-
ing received a supply. At Birmingham, a very few
months after it commenced, and a proportionate
demand was raised, private individuals began to
embark in the measure. The Committee were
much gratified at being informed that the dealers
were bringing great quantities of fish from the
Yorkshire coast, on such moderate terms as would
render it necessary for the parties to close their
engagements with the Association. At Maiden-
head, in Berks, which is a place by no means of
large population, the quantity of fish purchased
within about the last six months, is estimated at
no less an amount than fifteen tons ; for which,
and all expenses, £501 have been charged ; being
little more than threepence-halfpenny per pound
for the fish, and all the costs of convening it thither.
It has been nearly of all the sorts the season af-

33

forded,— cod, soles, turbot, salmon, &c.; and
they state that the demand appears to be limited
only by the price. They have received the fish,
with little variation, regularly two days in the
week. The Committee have succeeded at this
place certainly beyond expectation, and attribute
much to the excellent and judicious arrangements
which are made for the success of the plan by the
gentlemen of that town. The same success must,
however, be attainable by the same means in the
many other towns which are in like circumstances.

The Committee cannot pass this subject without
acknowledging the benefit of a special exemption
from post-horse duty, after the thirty-first day of
January last, of all horses solely employed about
the conveyance of fish, as another proof of the
interest taken by Government in this important
subject, and of their obliging attention to the ap-
plications of the Committee.

The Committee have thus pointed out some
of the hinderances to this source of national
prosperity, and the principles and measures of
encouragement which they have adopted for the
relief of the fishermen, and for the benefit of the
community. They have, perhaps, stated enough
to establish the practicability of extending this
important good to all classes, both in the me*
tropolis and the interior, and they now sum up their
Report by earnestly appealing to the British Public

for their support and co-operation, and entreating
them to reflect, whether the zeal which so long
distinguished them for promoting the success of
their own fisheries, and the important interests
connected with them, should now be permitted to
droop or to expire. The object of this appeal
relates to assisting our fishermen in their career of
toil and hardship ; augmenting our naval strength,
and maintaining its superiority ; increasing the
general supply of food, by an article which seems
the common birth-right of an islander ; rendering
the benefit accessible to the lower and needy class
of society ; keeping open an inexhaustible re-
source in any emergency of want ; and, in short,
daily doing good to all without exception. As
long as the Public shall continue to provide the
Committee with the necessary means, they will
not relax their exertions; and they particularly
invite every person into whose hands their Report
may fall, to use any influence he may possess in
any country towns in order to induce some re-
spectable inhabitants to take the trifling pains of
making the arrangements above suggested, for
the benefit of themselves and their neighbours.
After the offers which the Committee have made,
for furnishing parts contiguous to London, and
so large a part of the country, with a supply of
this invaluable article of food, should the evil so
justly complained of still exist, it must be because

35

the object having been too long overlooked,
sufficient public spirit is not now felt to sus-
tain the little trouble and expense which is
requisite for the purpose. But this surely cannot
be the case. An appeal on this subject was
perhaps never before made to the British Public

in vain.
