shall continue to enjoy unmolested the right to take Fish
of every kind on the Grand Bank and on all the other Banks
of Newfoundland; also in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and at
all other places in the Sea, where the Inhabitants of both
Countries used at any time heretofore to fish. And also that
the Inhabitants of the United States shall have liberty
to take fish of every kind on such part of the Coast of
Newfoundland as British Fishermen shall use, (but not to dry
or cure the same on that Island,) and also on the Coasts,
Bays, and Creeks of all other of His Britannic Majesty’s
Dominions in America; and that the American Fishermen shall
have liberty to dry and cure fish in any of the unsettled
Bays, Harbours, and Creeks of Nova Scotia, Magdalen Islands
and Labrador, so long as the same shall remain unsettled; but
so soon as the same, or either of them, shall be settled, it
shall not be lawful for the said Fishermen to dry or cure
fish at such Settlement, without a previous agreement for
that purpose with the Inhabitants, Proprietors, or Possessors
of the ground.
IV. It is agreed, that Creditors on either side shall meet
with no lawful impedimenta to the recovery of the full
value in sterling money of all bonâ fide debts heretofore
contracted.
