Taxes on Fishermen in Crown Lands Fees Debate
James Smith, a fisherman, petitions the Assembly against Crown Lands occupation fees for non pastoral use. He argues the tax is unfair, hits poor, itinerant fishers with annual charges up to £10, noting fishermen must live on beaches for net and boat protection. He cites price distortions, lack of fish markets, and calls for relief.
