By the King . A PROCLAMATION Prohibiting the keeping of St. James Fair at the City and County of Bristol . CHARLES R.

THe Kings most Evcellent Majesty , out of His Princely and Christian care of His loving Subjects , that no good means may be neglected to stay the further spreading of the present Infection and Contagion , doth find it convenient to prevent all occasions of publick concourse : And therefore being informed that there is at hand a Fair of special note , usually kept on the Five and twentieth day of July , called St. James's Fair , at the City and County of Bristol , unto which there is a very great resort out of many parts of His Majesties Kingdoms of England and Ireland , and Dominion of Wales , the holding whereof may be the occasion of Danger and Infection to many parts and places which ( by Gods blessing ) are now free , hath ( with the Advice of His Privy Council ) thought good by this His Royal Proclamation , not onely to admonish and require all His loving Subjects to forbear to resort for this time to the said Fair ; but also to enjoyn and require all such as are interested therein , to forbear holding the said Fair for this present year , upon pain of punishment , as for a Contempt so much concerning the safety of the People , they shall be adjudged to deserve ; which they must expect to be inflicted with all severity . And His Majesty doth hereby straitly Charge and Command the Mayor and Magistrates of His said City of Bristol , to see this His Will and Pleasure duly observed , and by all good means to restrain and keep out of the said City , all such Persons and Goods as shall come , or be brought from any Infected place , as they tender the safety and preservation of the said City , and will answer the contrary at their perils . And His Majesty doth hereby further declare , That all such as are interested in the Royalty or Profits of the said Fair , shall not by this Temporary restraint receive any prejudice in the Right of the said Fair , or Liberties thereunto belonging ; Any thing herein before contained to the contrary notwithstanding .

Given at the Court at Whitehall the Three and twentieth day of June , 1665. in the Seventeenth year of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .
