<P>_WHEREAS by the Statutes of this Our Kingdom, the tran&s;portation of Gold, and Silver in Mony, Bullion, Plate, or Ve&s;&s;ell, without Our licence, is prohi|bited under the pain of forfeiture thereof; And as the Per&s;on who &s;hall make any di&s;covery therein, is by the &s;ame rewarded with a con&s;iderable part of &s;uch forfeiture, &s;o all Searchers, and Officers conniving thereat are &s;everely puni&s;hable. And whereas upon advice with Our Councell, we find it very nece&s;&s;ary at this pre&s;ent, that all po&s;&s;ible care and diligence &s;hould be u&s;ed for the &s;trict, and due ob&s;ervance, and execution of the&s;e Lawes, and Statutes, We have therefore thought fit to publi&s;h and declare Our plea&s;ure herein, and doe hereby charge, and require all Our War|dens of Ports, Searchers, and other Our Officers, and Mini&s;ters what&s;oever, whom it may concern, that they u&s;e their be&s;t and utmo&s;t diligence, and indeavour, to prevent the &s;ending, carrying, or tran&s;porting of any Gold, or Silver, in Mony, Bullion, Plate, or Ve&s;&s;ell, in any manner, or way, out of this Realme contra|ry to the Lawes, and Statutes of the Kingdom, not forbearing to make &s;earch, and to performe the utmo&s;t of their duty (to which they are obliged by their oath &amp; office) for, or in re&s;pect of any Order, or Ordinance, or Command of one or both Hou&s;es of Parliament: And We doe hereby let all Our Subjects know, that who&s;oever &s;hall offend herein, and what&s;oever Searcher, or Officer &s;hall be negligent, or faile in the perfor|mance of his duty, &amp; the tru&s;t of his place concerning the &s;ame, they &s;hall incurre Our high di&s;plea&s;ure, and expect to &s;uffer, and undergoe the extreame&s;t penalties, forfeitures, &amp; puni&s;hments, which by the Lawes of the Land may be inflicted upon them. And who&s;oever &s;hall di&s;cover and bring to light any thing done, or &s;uffered, or intended to be done for, or touching the tran&s;porting of any Gold, or Silver contrary to the Law (be&s;ides the Reward which is appointed, and provided for him by the Statutes of the Realme) we &s;hall take it as a very good, and acceptable &s;ervice done by them to Us, and to Our Kingdome.</P>
