Royal warrant to the Attorney or Solicitor General
for a great seal for a grant to Francis Smartfoot
of the sole use and exercise of the several new
inventions of a Sea Crabb and a pair of Lungs for
working in the sea and taking up of ships, guns,
treasure and goods in any of the seas, rivers or
shores from the North Foreland to the westward
of the Lizard and the Islands of Scilly from 1695,
Michaelmas, for the residue of the term of 14 years
granted him by patent of Nov. 8 last (which patent
granted him such licence of fishing in all the seas
within the King's dominions except from the North
Foreland to the westward of the Lizard and the
Scilly Islands ; on payment to the Crown of a
fifth of what he shall recover in all depths of water
from one fathom to ten fathoms, but without
payment to the Crown of any part of what shall
be recovered in any depths of water exceeding 10
fathoms). Hereby the King further releases to
said Smartfoot a moiety of said fifth part as above
on his covenanting to pay a tenth part of whatever
shall be recovered in any depth of water exceeding 10
fathoms in any the seas, rivers or shores specified in
the first patent or in the present patent : with a
saving of such rights as the proprietor of the Scilly
Islands has or may have in the wrecks, treasure or
goods to be taken up in or near there. The present
grant is on the petition of said Smartfoot, representing
that the preparing the engines and necessaries for
working the said inventions will be very expensive. |
