WHereas His Majesty having by His Royal Proclamation of the Sixteenth of August , in the Four and twentieth year of His Reign , forbidden the use of all Private Farthings , did cause sufficient quantities of Copper Farthings and Half-Pence of the Intrinsique value , to be Coyned for the general good and convenience of His Subjects ; Nevertheless , His Majesty hath been informed , That several Persons and Corporations remote from London , have forborn to Call in their Private Farthings , and do still presume to make use of , and utter the same ; whereby they not onely continue to Violate the Laws of this Kingdom , and Defraud His Majesties good Subjects , but hinder the Vending of those Half-Pence and Farthings which are provided for necessary Exchange , which would have been ere this time dispersed in those parts , if the said Abuses of Stamping and Vttering of Private Farthings had been duely Suppressed . His Majesty therefore , to the end that all Offenders in the Premisses , who are now left without excuse , may know the danger they daily incur , and desist from any further proceeding in the like kind , hath thought fit by this His Royal Proclamation , to Publish and Declare His Royal Will and Pleasure to be , That a strict and severe Enquiry shall be made of all persons that shall after the Second day of February next ensuing , Stamp , or cause to be Stamped , Vend , Vtter , or any way make use of in Payment or Exchange , any Half-Pence , Farthings , or pieces of Brass , Copper , or other base Metals whatsoever , other then the Half-Pence and Farthings by His Majesties Royal Proclamation Authorized and Allowed ; And whosoever shall be found culpable therein , shall be severely punished . And for that purpose , His Majesty doth hereby Will and Command all His Iudges , Iustices of Assize , Iustices of the Peace , and all other inferiour Officers and Ministers of Iustice whatsoever , That they take care at their several and respective Courts , Assizes , Quarter-Sessions , and other inferiour Courts , that have , or may have Conuzance , or Punishment of the said Offences , That after the said Second day of February , they cause all such as shall Offend in the Premisses , to be proceeded against and Punished as they shall deserve .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall , the Fifth day of December , 1674 , in the Six and twentieth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
