THE WHITBY CASE .

WHITBY , in the North-Riding of the County of York , is a Sea-Port , commodiously Situated near the Mid-way between Humber , and the River of Tine ; in which distance , being One hundred Miles , there is not so safe and convenient a Harbour , were the Peeres Repaired ; it being capable of Harbouring above Five hundred Sale of Ships at once : And whereas it is now much Choaked up with Sands , were the Peeres Repaired , the forceable Floods of the River Esk , coming from the Hills about , would keep it open , so as to be of great Service and Benefit to the Northern Navigation , both from Storms and Enemies , the Inhabitants of that Town being as forward as any to assist in all Cases of Danger : And is now , one of the principal Nursery of Sea-men and Fisher-men on these Coasts , having at this time , One hundred and twenty Sail of Ships and Vessels , of Three hundred and fifty Tuns Burthen , and downward : Yet so it is , that they having no Fund , nor are of Ability to Repair the said Peeres of themselves , do therefore Humbly beg of this present Parliament , to grant them such Relief as in their Wisdoms shall seem meet .
