WHereas
I
am
informed
that
some
evil
disposed
persons
(
upon
pretence
of
imployment
or
authority
from
me
,
to
hire
and
bring
in
Teams
of
Draught
Horses
and
Carts
,
for
the
service
of
the
King
and
Parliament
)
have
by
colour
thereof
(
extorsively
and
corruptly
)
taken
and
received
Money
from
divers
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
,
to
release
some
Teams
,
and
protect
others
from
doing
Service
;
which
hath
tended
to
the
great
prejudice
of
the
parties
so
extorted
from
,
the
hinderance
of
the
publike
Service
,
and
scandall
(
as
much
as
in
them
lay
)
of
my
Office
,
and
the
due
execution
thereof
.
I
have
thought
fit
hereby
to
give
publike
notice
,
That
I
shall
take
it
for
a
favour
of
any
man
that
will
inform
me
of
the
particular
name
or
names
,
and
offences
of
any
person
or
persons
that
have
been
,
or
hereafter
shall
be
offenders
in
this
kinde
;
And
I
will
readily
contribute
my
best
and
utmost
endeavours
,
not
onely
to
bring
them
to
condigne
punishment
,
but
also
to
procure
the
parties
wronged
restitution
of
their
Moneys
;
with
such
other
reparation
,
as
to
the
wisdom
of
the
Committee
of
the
Honorable
House
of
Commons
for
Examinations
shall
be
thought
meet
.
