HERRING FISHERY.

REPORT by the Commissioners for the Herring
Fishery, of their Proceedings, Year ended
5th April, 1824 ;- being Fishing 1823.
(Presented in pursuance of the Acts 48 Geo. III.
c. 110, sec. 7, and 55 Geo. III. c. 94, sec. 4.)
THE provisions of the fishery acts, and the re-
gulations made by the commissioners for improv-
ing the construction of casks, and the cure of
fish intended for bounty, are now so well under-
stood, and so generally observed, that in their
proceedings during the year ended 5th April,
1824, little has occurred requiring particular no-
tice in this Report. It has been the object of the
commissioners to uphold the reputation of the
official brand, and to raise the character of the
British fishery, by every means they could de-
vise. For this purpose, the attention, both of
the officers and curers, has been again directed
to the propriety of having the fish prepared so
as to suit the different markets for which they
are destined; and measures have been taken for
introducing a more perfect knowledge of the
Dutch mode of cure, for herrings intended for
the continent of Europe. The stations have,
as usual, been surveyed by the general-inspectors
during the fishing season; the naval superin-
tendents have been employed in preventing de-
predations, and preserving order at the fishery,
wherever their presence could be useful; and
the accommodation of the trade has been studied
by removing the officers from one district to ano-
ther, as occasion required.

In these circumstances, the commissioners consider it unnecessary to advert more particularly to their proceedings in the discharge of the im

portant trust committed to them; and they, therefore, now present the following accounts of the herring and cod fisheries, for the year ended 5th April, 1824; which they are happy to say will be found most satisfactory.

No. 3.-Account of herrings cured on shore. No. 4.-Account of the open sea fishery. No. 5.-Account of the total quantity of her. rings landed and cured on shore.

No. 6. Account of herrings branded for bounty.

No. 7.-Account of bung-packed herrings, branded for bounty, now repacked and rebranded; but for which no additional bounty has been allowed.

No. 8.-Account of repacked herrings sent coast wise for exportation to a place out of Europe.

No. 9.-Account of herrings exported.

Cod and Ling Fishery.

No. 1.-Account of cod, ling, and hake, found entitled to bounty, taken or purchased by the crews of vessels fitted out on the tonnage bounty.

No. 2.-Account of cod, ling, and hake, found entitled to bounty, taken or purchased by the crews of vessels and boats not on the tonnage bounty.

No. 3.-Account of the total quantity of cod, ling, and hake, found entitled to bounty. No. 4.-Account of cod, ling, and hake exported.

No. 5.-Account of the quantity of fish oil manufactured, and found entitled to bounty.

From a comparison of these accounts with those of the preceding year, it will be found, that although the produce of the West Highland fishery is still very deficient, the fishing, upan the whole, has been most abundant. The total quantity of herrings cured is 392,190 barrels, of which 299,631 barrels have been found en titled to bounty, and 239,630 barrels have been exported, being an increase over the preceding year of 143,321 barrels in the quantity cured, of 96,521 barrels in the quantity branded, and of 69,185 barrels in the quantity exported. The condition of the herrings has been represented to the commissioners as superior to that of any former year; and although the prices continued low, they have every reason to believe, notwithstanding the great quantity taken, that few herrings remained in the hands of the curers in this country at the commencement of the ensuing season.

It will be found, also, that the accounts of the cod and ling fishery exhibit a comparison equally favourable. In the year under consideration, the number of vessels cleared out for the ton nage bounty is 102, while the total quantity of

The cure of the fish has also been represented to the commissioners as having been much improved, and the demand for them so
