sh of every kind, except shell-fish, on the sea-coasts and shores,
and in the bays, harbors, and creeks of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward's Island, and of the several islands thereunto
adjacent, without being restricted to any distance from the shore, with
permission to land upon the coasts and shores of those colonies and
the islands thereof, and also upon the Magdalen Islands, for the
purpose of drying their nets and curing their fish; provided that, in
so doing, they do not interfere with the rights of private property,
or with British fishermen, in the peaceable use of any part of the
said coast in their occupancy for the same purpose."

In Article II. of the treaty it was reciprocally agreed as follows:--

"ARTICLE II. It is agreed by the high contracting parties that British
subjects shall have, in common with the citizens of the United States,
the liberty to take fish of every kind, except shell-fish, on the
eastern sea-coasts and shores of the United States north of the 36th
parallel of north latitude, and on the shores of the several islands
thereunto adjacent, and in the bays, harbors, and creeks of the said
sea-coasts and shores of the United States and of the said islands,
without being restricted to any distance from the shore, with
permission to land upon the said coasts of the United States and of
the islands aforesaid, for the purpose of drying their nets and curing
their fish, provided that, in so doing, they do not interfere with the
rights of private property, or with the fishermen of the United
States, in the peaceable use of any part of the said coasts in their
occupancy for the same purpose."

Both concessions reserved "the salmon and shad fisheries and all
fisheries in rivers and the mouths of rivers."]
