In giving this ftate to the public, the fuperintendant thinks it neces fary to take notice, that, though there appears but 107 1. 13s, 2 d. over and above the capital of 3500l, yet it is to be confidered, that there were at the drawing up this fketch 23 fifh machines paid for, and then in ufe, befides including the fundry expences as above to the 30th of September laft; and this appears to him beyond what he could have expected from fuch an undertaking in its infancy, and with the many difficulties to be encountered. It is moreover to be observed, that the above fum of 36c71. 13s. 2d. is not to be understood as cash in hand, the whole being engaged by the fuperintendant for the purposes of fupporting and extending this undertaking, by opening fome other ports on the fea coaft, for procur

ing a greater variety of fifh, which the town feems to defire and expect; and to that end he has now in ufe 54 machines, befides 26 made, and making, to complete the number 80; with which, and fuch further encouragement as the public may think proper to give, fish of inferior forts may be brought for the benefit of labouring perfons at moderate prices; more especially if he shall be affifted with a proper place of general fale, where dealers and hawkers may be fupplied out of the quantities that may occafionally be brought, beyond what the prefent established place of fale can find vent for, agreeable to his original plan; the want of which has hitherto been the greatest disadvantage he has laboured under in the profecution of this undertaking..
