1715WRCAM39842London 1715. Small folio broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. Very good. A rare petition to Parliament relating to a current bill concerning the mesh size of fishing nets used along the coast of Great Britain. The fishing lobby here argues that the clause limiting mesh size to four inches except for use with "Herrings Pilchards Sprats and Sardenas" will prevent the catching of various larger fish and lobster and thereby ruin much of the national fishing industry. They claim that the fishmongers who support the regulation would prefer "to bring in Foreign Fish caught in Foreign Bottoms" and profit from the higher prices. A leaflet published the same year entitled AN ANSWER TO THE CASE OF THE COASTING FISHERMEN indicates the present document was written by the lobsterman lobby. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.
