PROCLAMATION , Anent the making use of Forreign Salt . CHARLES , By the Grace of GOD , King of Great Britain , France and Ireland , Defender of the Faith ; To 〈…〉 Macers or Messengers at Arms , Our Sheriffs in that part , conjunctly and severally , specially constitute , Greeting .

Forasmuch , as upon divers important considerations , by Our Proclamation of the fifteenth of June , one thousand six hundred and sixty five , We did impose twelve pounds Scots upon each Water-boll of Forreign Salt , which should be imported into this Our Kingdom of Scotland , excepting such Salt as was to be employed for making and curing of Fishes : And by another Proclamation of the ninth of March , one thousand six hundred and seventy one , We did prohibit the importation of all Salt into this Kingdom , without Licence of the Commissioners of Our Thesaury , under the pain of confiscation thereof , and of the Ships and Vessels in which the same should be imported . Notwithstanding whereof , many of Our Subjects do employ and consume considerable quantities of Forreign Salt , upon domestick and ordinary uses , albeit the Salt made in this Kingdom be abundantly sufficient for the same ; and that the Commissioners appointed for managing of the Salt , are willing and ready to furnish and provide Our Subjects in all parts of the Kingdom , with competent quantities of that Salt at reasonable rates . And seing the intent of the foresaids Acts and Proclamations is like to be altogether frustrate , and the profitable Manufactory of Salt in this Kingdom will be exceedingly damnified , if the foresaid practice be not restrained for the future . Therefore We , with advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council , do hereby prohibite and discharge all Our Subjects of this Kingdom , after the first day of January next , in the year one thousand six hundred and seventy three , to imploy or consume for domestick uses of any sort , any Forreign Salt , under the pain of twelve pounds Scots , to be applyed to Our behoove , for every Boll of Forreign Salt , and proportionally for any lesser quantity which shall be made use of by them , in manner foresaid , and this but prejudice of the penalties provided by the foresaids Proclamations , against the Importers of Forreign Salt . And ordains these presents to be printed , and published at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh , and other places needfull , that none pretend ignorance .

Given at Our Palace of Holyrude-house , the eighteenth day of September , one thousand six hundred and seventy two , and of Our Reign the twenty fourth Year . Al. Gibson , Cl. Sti . Concilii .
