<HEAD>AN ORDER OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS A&s;&s;embled in PARLIAMENT, Concerning His Maie&s;ties Forre&s;ts, Parks, and Cha&s;es: commanded to be publi&s;hed in all Pari&s;hes where they are.</HEAD>
<P>_WHereas information hath been given to the Lords and Commons in this pre&s;ent Parliament a&s;&s;embled, hat divers leud and di&s;ordered per&s;ons &s;ince the &s;itting of this Parliament, have in great a&s;&s;emblies, and in a riotous manner, unlawful|ly cha&s;ed, killed, and de&s;troyed many of his Maje&s;ties Deere within his For|re&s;ts of <HI>Wind&s;or,</HI> and <HI>Waltham,</HI> according to the knowne bounds, as now they are limited and &s;et out by vertue of the late Act of Parliament. And that they together with divers other the like per&s;ons doe threaten and give out, that they intend to commit the like outrages in other His Maie&s;ties Forre&s;t, Cha&s;es, and Parkes, pre&s;uming with their num|bers, multitudes and menaces, to terrifie and di&s;able His Maie&s;ties Officers of his Forre&s;ts, Cha&s;es, and Parkes, from doing their re&s;pective duties by apprehending their bodies, or o|therwi&s;e bringing them to condigne puni&s;hment for &s;uch their mi&s;doings, according to the Lawes of the Forre&s;ts; which offences committed with force and violence (as &s;candalous to the publique ju&s;tice of the Kingdome if not puni&s;hed, and dangerous for the future) un|le&s;&s;e they be timely prevented, are at no time, (much le&s;&s;e &s;itting the Parliament) to be &s;uf|fered. The Lords and Commons therefore taking the premi&s;es into their con&s;ideration, and finding that by the Forre&s;t lawes, and other the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme, there is already full prov<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;ion made for the preventing, removing, and puni&s;hing of all attempts and offences of this kind. And in ca&s;e the Officers of the Forre&s;ts by rea&s;on of the great num|bers of offendours, by arre&s;ting of their per&s;ons, or otherwi&s;e, be not able to &s;uppre&s;&s;e them, for the pre&s;ent, That by the Statutes made 13 <HI>Hen.</HI> 4 <HI>cap.</HI> 7: and 2. <HI>H.</HI> 5. <HI>cap.</HI> 8. and other the Lawes and Statutes of the Realme, the Sheriffe and under-Sheriffe, and any two Iu&s;tices of the Peace in the County where &s;uch, or any riots are committed, ought to doe it, and have &s;ufficient power and authority &s;o to doe, as likewi&s;e for the puni&s;hment of offendors: And that in this ca&s;e nothing is wanting but onely the care and diligence of the Officers in putting of tho&s;e Lawes in execution which is hereby required a&s;well for the puni&s;hment of what is pa&s;t &s;ince the &s;itting of this Parliament, as for prevention of the like in the time to come. And they doe further declare, that in ca&s;e any ju&s;t complaints of this nature &s;hall hereafter be made unto them, that they will u&s;e all ju&s;t meanes, that the penalties of tho&s;e Lawes may be fully put in execution again&s;t the re&s;pective Officers that &s;hall be found neg|ligent therein, as the be&s;t meanes they can think of for the prevention of &s;uch offences, and the &s;everall officers of His Maie&s;ties Forre&s;ts, Cha&s;es, and Parkes are hereby required to publi&s;h this Order in the &s;everall Pari&s;hes where the&s;e Forre&s;ts, Cha&s;es, and Parks do lie.</P>
