"To the Right Honourable the Lords in the High
Court of Parliament assembled.
"The humble Petition and Reply of William
Barkeley Alderman of the City of London,
Henry St. Johns, and John De Bayly, to
the Answer of Stephen Wentropp and Joseph
Welde;
"Humbly sheweth,
"That whereas your Petitioners have heretofore exhibited their Petition against the said Stephen Wentropp and Joseph Welde and others, before your Lordships, for divers Injuries, Oppressions, and Injustice
done your Petitioners, (fn. *) in New England; unto which
Petition the said Stephen Wentropp and Josephe Welde
have put in an insufficient Answer, not having given
any direct Answer to the material Charges in the said
Petition; and your Petitioners say, That, after the
said Oppressions and Injustice done in the said Court
of Boston, your Petitioners, or some in their Behalf,
did petition to the General Court, or High Court
there, as they call it, for an Appeal or Review of
the said Cause, which, according to the Course there,
cannot nor may in Justice be denied; yet the Judges,
or Magistrates, in the said Higher or General Court
(of whom the said Stephen Wentropp was One, sitting
there as Judge, and having Vote, as a Magistrate),
did refuse to accept of the said Appeal or Review;
which your Petitioners are ready to aver and prove,
as this High Court shall Order; and humbly pray,
that your Petitioners may in this Cause make Use of
Depositions taken in the Court of Admiralty in the
same Cause, between the same Parties, in regard
many that were sworn there are Seamen, and now
gone to Sea, and others cannot be now produced at
the Hearing of this Cause, being gone beyond Seas,
and about their necessary Occasions: And your Petitioners further pray, that your Honours would be
pleased to appoint some certain Time for your Petitioners to make their Proofs, and for the Hearing of
the said Cause.
"And your Petitioners (as in Duty bound)
shall pray, &c.

Petition of the Fishermen of Hastings, against the French fishing on our Coast with Rash-nets and Engines.
"To the Right Honourable the Lords of England,
now assembled in Parliament, at Westm.
"The humble Petition of the Fishermen of
the Town and Port of Hastings, in the
County of Sussex;
"Sheweth,
"That, for the Preservation of Fish, and Maintenance of the Fishing Trade, within this Realm, as
well all Fishermen and others of this Nation, as
Strangers, are prohibited by the Maritime Laws to
fish upon this Coast with Rash-nets, and other Engines staked in the Sea; notwithstanding which, this
Coast is so overlaid and charged with French Fishermen (who are not suffered to fish with the said Nets
and Engines upon their own Coast), that do constantly in great Numbers fish, and stake their said
prohibited Nets and other Engines in the Seas upon
this Coast, with Anchors and Stones, Four or Five
Days together; and not only stake all Manner of
Fish both great and small, but likewise staunch up
(with the stale Fish caught in their Nets) the Rocks
and Places where the Fish usually lie, to the utter
destroying of the Fry of Fish upon this Coast, and
to the great Annoyance and Hindrance of your Petitioners and others, in fishing with their Hooks and
Drive-nets, or otherwise, in the Places where they
did heretofore usually fish, whereby the City and all
this Part of the Kingdom are not served with such
Varieties and Plenty of Fish as formerly they have
been, and the Trade of Fishing is like to decay, to
the utter impoverishing of all the Fishing Towns and
Places in this Coast.
"In tender Consideration of all which, your Petitioners humbly pray and beseech your good
Lordships would vouchsafe to take the Premises into your noble Thoughts, and give
them such Relief therein as to your great
Wisdoms shall seem meet: And they will
daily pray for the Preservation of your Lordships, in all Honour, Health, and Happiness.
"The Mayor and Jurats of Hastings."
