The Council to Sir Jas. Pemberton, Lord Mayor of London, and Sir Dan. Dun, Judge of the Admiralty. On complaint of destruction by the trinckermen of fry and small fish in the Thames, the Lord Admiral is ordered to appoint two persons who, with two others to be appointed by the Lord Mayor, shall go down the river, take notice of the said abuses, and prescribe some course to rectify them; by some default, the persons before sent down by the city, and by the admiralty officers, did not succeed in preventing this unlawful fishing. You are therefore to appoint two discreet persons who shall examine the nets, standings, and manner of fishing of trinckermen, hebbermen, &c., and give in a certificate of their proceedings. [Dom. Corresp., 14 Oct. 1590.]
