<OPENER><SIGNED>CLARENDON.</SIGNED></OPENER>
<P>_WHEREAS there have been of late many Bur|glaries and Robberies committed in &s;everal parts of this Kingdom, to the ruine of &s;ome of His Ma|je&s;ties good Subjects, and the great di&s;quiet of many others; And it is found by experience, that His Maje&s;ties Mercy that hath been heretofore ex|tended to &s;ome per&s;ons that have been attainted of &s;uch Crimes, hath been an encouragement to others to commit the like. For the prevention therefore of &s;uch Offences for the future, and the taking away all hopes of Impunity from &s;uch as &s;hall hereafter be found guilty thereof. We the Lord Lieutenant and Council have thought fit by this our Proclamation, to publi&s;h and declare, That no per&s;on or per&s;ons who &s;hall hereafter be con|vict or attainted of any Robbery or Burglary, are to expect any Pardon for the &s;ame, or have the favour of being tran&s;ported into any foreign Plantation, but that the Law in all &s;uch ca&s;es &s;hall be put in due execution: And al&s;o that for the &s;peedy Tryal of &s;uch per&s;ons as &s;hall be apprehended for any &s;uch Crimes, We &s;hall take care that &s;pecial Commi&s;&s;ions &s;hall from time to time
<PB REF="2">
<PB REF="2"> be i&s;&s;ued to that purpo&s;e into &s;uch Counties in this Kingdom where there &s;hall be occa&s;ion for them.</P>
<P>And We do hereby further Require and Command that the Laws of this Realm concerning the keeping of Watch and Ward, and for rai&s;ing the <HI>Hue</HI> and <HI>Cry</HI> be duly Ob&s;erved and Executed; And that His Maje&s;ties Iudges of A&s;&s;ize and Iu&s;tices of Peace in the &s;everal Counties of this Kingdom do take care that &s;uch as &s;hall be found negligent therein, as al&s;o the Harbourers of all Notorious Robbers and Felons be duly Pro&s;ecuted and proceeded again&s;t. And the &s;everal Iu&s;tices of Peace of this Kingdom are hereby al&s;o required to be careful in taking &s;ufficient Bail from &s;uch Offenders as &s;hall be brought be|fore them in all &s;uch Ca&s;es where by the Examinations taken by them, they &s;hall find ju&s;t rea&s;on to &s;u&s;pect or believe the per&s;ons to be guilty of the Crimes whereof they &s;hall be accu&s;ed, and where &s;uch per&s;ons are by Law Bailable. And where any per&s;ons accu&s;ed of the like Crimes &s;hall fly from Iu&s;tice, or cannot be apprehended, the &s;aid Iu&s;tices of Peace are in &s;uch Ca&s;es to take Ex|aminations concerning them, and return the &s;ame to the next I&s;&s;izes, to the end that they may thereupon be Endicted, which Endictments are from time to time to be forthwith Return'd into His Maje&s;ties Court of Chief Place, to the end that the Offenders therein nam'd may be Outlawed thereupon. And all Commanders of Hor&s;e and Foot, and all others His Maje&s;ties Officers and Loving Subjects are to be aiding and a&s;&s;i&s;ting in the due apprehen&s;ion and bringing to Iu&s;tice of &s;uch per&s;ons as &s;hall be &s;u&s;pected or accu&s;ed of any Rob|beries or Burglaries, as they and every of them will an&s;wer the contrary at their perils.</P>
