Expedients Proposed for the Easing and Advantaging the Coal-Trade and Lessning the Price of Coals in London and other Places c. 1. THat all Ships may have Liberty if they find it for their convenience to take in such Beer and other Provision as they shall at any time want for their Voyages in or about Sheilds and not to be forced as now they are to send Seven Miles up the River to N●wcastle for the same whereby they often lose the opportunity of a fair Wind or a Convoy and by consequence their whole Voyage II. That it may be lawful for any Ship in Distress to make use of any Pilot or Carpenter though no Freeman of Newcastle which is now by no means permitted for whilst they send so far as Newcastle for help which when they do they cannot have from thence but at Excessive Rates the Ships that want or have wanted such help may be and often have been cast away before such Pilot or Carpenter could come to them III. That a Free-Ballast-Shore may be Built by the Owners of Jarrowslike near Sheilds or any other Owners of Lands and Grounds there And that all Ships may if for their own Benefit be at liberty to lay Ballast there and not forced as now they are to carry it several Miles upon a dangerous River to Newcastle Shores In as much as J●rrowslike Shore when Built will be greatly for the Advantage of the. River and all Ships I rading up the same Anent is farther offered to Consideration and will easily be Demonstrated That if these things were done the River would be much Bettered and made Deeper and more Navigable which would Encourage the Building of Great Ships which are the most proper for that Trade and such as would be Vseful for the Defence of the Kingdom in time of War Besides by these Means Masters of Ships might make Two or Three Voyages in the Year more than now they do by reason of the quick Dispatch they would then receive above what they now have the consequence whereof must needs be That Coals Glass Salt and Milstones which are the proper Commodities of those Parts would be much Cheaper to the Subject than now they are and the great Duty laid on Coals for several Years to come be less felt by the Poor than now it is AN ANSWER To the Printed Paper above-mentioned TO the First it is answered That the Mayor and Burgesses of Newcastle have by Prescription the Survey and Government of the Port and River there which Port and River are within the Bounds and Limits of the Borough of Newcastle And the said Mayor and Burgesses have from time to time whereof the Memory of Man runs not to the contrary had the sole Vending of all Beer and Ale sold to Ships Trading to that Port And this is in effect no more than all Corporations by Prescription enjoy That none shall exercise a Trade within their Corporation but the Members of it And it seems to be as reasonable to take away the Priviledges of all other Corporations as to take away this and besides the Publick is no way injured for Ships do not lose their Voyages by it because the Ships may take in their Beer and Ale at Sheilds from Newcastle in a quarter of the time they can take in their Coals for they go two three and sometimes four Miles above Newcastle for their Coals And this very Point as to the sole vending of Beer and Ale by the Mayor and Burgesses within the said Port has been lately Tried in His Majesties Court of Exchequer and found by a substantial Jury for the Mayor and Burgesses and a Decree thereupon made for the same To the Second it is Answered That it is lawful in that Port for any Ship-Master to use his own Carpenter and if the Ship be in distress the Master may use any Carpenters whatsoever at Sheilds and besides Care is taken that there be alwayes Carpenters and Pilots that are Freemen of Newcastle that live at Sheilds near the Mouth of the Haven to serve such Masters of Ships as have occasion to use their Services there and that at Reasonable Prices lower than in other places And the Mayor of Newcastle may regulate the Prices if unreasonable Demands be made and it is a great Mistake to affirm That any Ships have been lost in that Harbor for want of Carpenters or Pilots and the same cannot be proved To the Third the Answer is That Jarrowslike is no fit place for a Shore being near the Mouth of the Haven because the unavoidable fall of Ballast would make a Sand-Bed which would hinder Ships to pass in and out It would be a Nusance to have a Shore there there being no Foundation to erect a Wall for a Ballast Key And it would be further inconvenient the Channel of the River being Narrow in that place it would make the Current so quick that no Ships could lie at Anchor there or Keels come to cast Coals or Ballast there And it would hinder the passage of Ships in the said River and would be an injury to the Mayor and Burgesses to make an Act of Parliament to erect a Shore at the place desired for they do prescribe That no Shores should be built upon that River without their License if this were not the River had been long since blockt up and it were impossible to prevent Nusances to the said River if the Mayor and Burgesses had not the Survey and Government of it For every Man that has Land upon the said River might be at liberty to build into the River as far as they please This Prescription has been likewise Tryed at Law at the Bar of the Court of Exchequer and found for the Mayor and Burgesses And why may not all or any the Franchises of all other Corporations be taken away by Act of Parliament as well as this And there is no inconvenience to Ships that Tr●de to that Port for want of a Shore there because there are Shores four or five Miles lower than Newcastle seated in convenient places where Ships cast their Ballast and take in their Coals without danger The Mayor and Burgesses being Conformators of the River and Port of Tine a place of great Import to the Kingdom and Nursery of Seamen and Navigation and having an ancient Court for the Government and Preservation of the River and Port do never give leave to build a Ballast Shore until the place be viewed by a Jury of Masters of the Trinity House and Pilots and they upon their Oaths give a Verdict that the place is convenient and without prejudice to the River That the Expedients proposed will not in any sort lessen the Price of Coals for the same Tide that will carry Ships to the place designed for a Shore will carry them to some other Shores or Wharfs that are already erected And the same Wind that will carry Ships out from the one place will carry them out from the
