WHereas the excessive number of Hackney Coaches , and Coach-horses , in and about the Cities of London and Westminster , and the Suburbs thereof , are found to be a common Nuisance to the Publique Dammage of Our People , by reason of their rude and disorderly standing , and passing to and fro , in and about Our said Cities and Suburbs , the Streets and Highways being thereby pestred and made unpassable , the Pavements broken up , and the Common Passages obstructed and become dangerous , Our Peace violated , and sundry other mischiefs and evils occasioned :

We taking into Our Princely Consideration these apparent Inconveniences , and resolving that a speedy remedy be applyed to meet with , and Redress them for the future , Do by and with the Advice of Our Privy Counsel , Publish Our Royal Will and Pleasure to be , And We do by this Our Proclamation expresly Charge and Command , That no Person or Persons , of what Estate , Degree , or Quality whatsoever , Keeping or Vsing any Hackney Coaches , or Coach-horses , Do , from and after the sixth day of November next , permit or suffer the said Coaches and Horses , or any of them , to stand , or remain , in any the Streets or Passages in or about Our said Cities , either of London or Westminster , or the Suburbs belonging to either of them , to be there hired ; but that they and every of them keep their said Coaches and Horses within their respective Coach-houses , Stables and Yards ( whither such Persons as desire to Hire the same may resort for that purpose ) upon pain of Our high Displeasure , and such Forfeitures , Pains and Penalties as may be inflicted for the Contempt of Our Royal Commands in the Premises , whereof We shall expect a strict Accompt .

And for the due execution of Our Pleasure herein , We do further Charge and Command the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Our City of London , That they in their several Wards , And Our Iustices of Peace within Our said Cities of London and Westminster , and the Liberties and Suburbs thereof ; and all other Our Officers , and Ministers of Iustice , to whom it appertaineth , do take especial care in their respective Limits , that this Our Command be duly observed . And that they from time to time , return the names of all those who shall wilfully offend in the Premises , to Our Privy Council , and to the end they may be proceeded against by Indictments and Presentments , for the Nuisance and otherwise , according to the severity of the Law , and Demerits of the Offenders .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the Eighteenth day of October , in the Twelfth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
