Proclamation Against Fishermen Aiding French in Ireland 1708
A March 1708 proclamation by the Lords Justices and Council of Ireland condemns fishing boatmen and others who assist French privateers or provide provisions and intelligence. It imposes treason penalties, declares seven months of fishing bans unless boats are manned by one third Protestants, and offers twenty pounds reward for uncovering offenders. Local officers are ordered to search, seize, and prosecute violators to prevent aiding enemies.
