On the Fishery on the Coast of Labradore within ye Gulph of St. Lawrence only, was Emp^d 117 Sloops & Schooners with 1,563 men who killed 104 Whales which Yielded on an Average 140 Barrells of Oil & 2,000 W^t of good Bone all kill'd within a space of 30 Leagues and between the 14^th May & 10^th July.  The Winter Seal Fishery on the same Coast Carryd on by 107 men Yielded 500 Tons of Oil besides Fur, and the Furs from the Indians was very considerable, so that the Value of the Whale, Seal, Cod, Salmon, and Furs upon that part of the coast only, was at a moderate computation £100,000 and not one Old England Ship or Seaman Emply^d therein, nor a Seaman raised thereby for the service of the Fleet. such is y^e Effect of letting y^e Newfoundland Fishery run into Monopolie, That y^e rest of our Merchants if they can’t have a Monopolie likewise, will let y^e New England Men or Frenchmen, or any Body Run away with it.
