The nature of the evidence relative to those mountain

of Commons, from the year 1733 to 1799, all de monstrat.
ing the highly advantageous situation of Ireland, ns a scat
of the fisheries, which could alone have been resitherd un.
profitable by a most perverse and injuslicioni system of laws.
The revision and simplificatiou of those laws, and the
direct application of encouragement under thus to the re-
sident fishermen of the roast, your Committee consider es-
setstial to any successful fishery in behold.
The foliate of the exissisig system may be proved by the
fact established its the public accounts, that while in the
last year killings were Outmoded In the valise of 58,1371.
the export trade, within the last three years, has fallen to a
twestsetli part of its former amount.
'The actual condition of the fishermen on the coast ap-
pease to be miserable; and yet their general habits, shame
ter, and qualifications, are highly deserving of liberal eu-
couragensesit:
It appears from the whole current of evidence, not only
that the western, northern, and southern roasts of Ireland,
afford every advantage for ■ bay or coast fishery, but that
NM M eminently suited for a deep sea cod fishery of great
IstipseMner, calculated to afford permanent ensploymetit, in.
dependent of that for she production of oil from the whale
sad basking-shark, which almond in the contiguous seat.
Without enlarging un the importance of this subject, your
Committee refer to the evidence in their Appendix. as well
as the voluminous testimony contained in the Irish Journals
before refired to, and they particularly call the attention of
the House to that of Mr. Telford, which has dished thew
to take the benefit of experience from ■n improved system of
fishery laws, and of parliamentary encouragement, wisely
applied and eminently rucressfill in the tall! of Srotland.
Tim inestimable benefits of the measure, which has opened
through the Highlands of Scotland suitable lines of road
into the seats of tbe.hsherits f the more improved dis-
tricts, form a strong contrast to the unmrrnus instances in
which public mosey has bleu injudiciously applied to local
rdsjects. The establishment of successful fisheries in come-
mince has materially augmented the national wealth, :Aid
opened sources of the most valuable industry; mud it op.
pears to your Committee, that so extensive a national bens fit
was sever attained for so moderate an expenditure.
In the case of Scotland, its 1802-3, the Treasury adopted
the principle of applying She public mosey for die great
ultimate public object of encouraging the fisheries;
with that view, they ordered surveys to be made by skilful
engineers, and approved a scheme for opening the High-
lands on a prospective estimate of 150.0001. so Ise met by
as equal- levy tom the districts to be thereby improved ; of
the signal success of that scheme your Committee hare the
most satisfactory evidence.
Os every grounit of policy as well as justice, your Com-
mittee earnestly recommend the application of the prece•-
dent of Scotism, to the highland districts of Ireland. It
appears in evidence, that the circumstances of the countries
in question are remarkably similar; they are both moun-
tainous and uncultivated, and abound with an nom ployed
population. The Irish soil is stated to be capable of higher
cultivation, as better in itself, and equally aboanding with
manures, which at present cannot be transferred fur its im-
provement beyond the mere precincts of the sea. It almonds
with the best natural harbours fur safe anchorage and
shelter, but is deprived of the Id ache of these from the want
of piers ur lashog places, which it appears could be con-
structed at a ussidetate expense. These favourable
Bahian
stations are also, for want of roads and bridges, cut off Eros
intercourse with the interior, from which capital may be ex•
meted, and a market found for the coast fishery.
To all these natural claims to similar encouragement,
those districts of Ireland add the very anions sisse. that frost
the noneesidence of a snalutity of the proprietors, they du
sot possess within themselves She WIMP of effecting those
objects by private exertion. Il appears moreover, that its
the fait of Scotland, no coatbimlioli of private individuals.
with equal funds, could have effected the same amount of
good which has been wrought wader the Parliamentary (Sum.
mission for Scothtual. And in any wiessures which the wisdom
of Parliament may adopt, the power thnrugli which it is to
be exercised should be removed from the influence of local
lowest" and partiality in its applia►ion. It i.e no small
reconsasesdatioe of n similar experiment in Ireland, that
the amount of mosey requisite for its completion is sir small
as not to present say obstacle, even in the present difficult
situation of the Ihemaces of the State ; and that its apple.
cation would moreover be justified and facilitated, by she
power possessed wader the Grand Jury system of Ireland, of
taming she brad to ►e improved in as motion. equal to any
public grant, by which muds of the difficulties eucountered
in the Scots system would he avoided.
