A PROCLAMATION Against the importation of Victuall . CHARLES , by the Grace of GOD , King of Great Brittain , France and Ireland , Defender of the Faith ; to Our Lovits , _____ Macers , or Messengers at Arms , Our Sheriffs in that part , conjunctly , and severally , specially constitute , greeting :

Forasmuch , as upon representation to Our Privy Council , of the great scarcity and dearth of Victual in some Western Shires of this Kingdom ; They did , by their Act , of the second of December last , Grant licence for Importing Oats , Oat-meal , and Pease , to the Shires of Wigtoun , Air , Renfrew , and Stewartrie of Kircudburgh , for supplying the necessity of these places until furder order : And seeing now , by reason of great quantities of Victual imported since the said licence was granted , the Rates and Pryces of Victual in this Kingdom are much fallen , and that the continuation of the said licence any longer , would prove very prejudicial to Our Subjects of this Kingdom ; We have thought fit , with advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council , to discharge and take off the foresaid Licence , and to renew Our former Proclamation against importing of Victual , of the date the fourth of May , 1671. Likeas , We , with advice foresaid , do hereby restrain and discharge the importation of Victual of any kind into this Kingdom after the eleventh day of March next , under the pains following , viz. For such Victual as shall be imported from Ireland , under the pains contained in the third Act of the third Session of Our second Parliament , and for any Victual imported from other forraign places , under the pains contained in Our said former Proclamation , which shall be inflicted upon the contraveeners with all rigour .

And ordains thir presents to be Printed , and Published at the Mercat-Crosses of Edinburgh , Glasgow , Air , and other places needful , that none may pretend ignorance .

Given under Our signet at Edinburgh , the twenty fourth day of February , 1676. and of Our Reign the twenty eight year . Al. Gibson Cl. Sti. Concilii . God save the King .
