By the King . A PROCLAMATION For better Cleansing of the Streets in Westminster , and other adjacent Places in the County of Middlesex . CHARLES R.

FOrasmuch as the Streets in and near the City of Westminster are not sufficiently Swept and Cleansed , nor the Pavements thereof Preserved in due and orderly Repair , notwithstanding the Provisions made by the late Statutes , and the careful execution of the same by His Majesties Commissioners thereunto appointed ; Therefore for the remedying thereof in time to come , His Majesty , by Advice of His Privy Council hath thought fit to Publish this His Royal Will and Pleasure , and doth hereby Require and Command all and every of His loving Subjects whom it doth or may concern , That they and every of them within their several and respective Parishes and Precincts , do forthwith cause such Rates to be Assessed for and towards the Clenasing of the Streets , as may be sufficient to defray the extraordinary Charge of the Scavenger in better Sweeping and Cleansing of the Streets , then of late hath been practised : And that in the Assessing and Levying thereof , they proceed by such ways and means , as in and by a late Act Passed in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth year of His Majesties Reign is appointed ; And that there may be no partiality or inequality in the Collection or Levying thereof , His Majesty doth hereby Declare . That all manner of persons of what Estate , Degree or Condition soever they be , are and ought to be subject to the Rates and Assessments so Laid and Imposed , and the same may be Levied by Distress upon their or any of their Goods or Chattels , in manner as by the said Act is directed ; Provided always , That the Persons of the Peers of this Realm be in no sort molested by pretence of any such Assessment . And for the better Preserving the Streets from Soyl or Dirt for the future , His Majesty doth hereby forbid all Carmen and Waggoners to stand with their Earts or Waggons in the Streets , or to feed their Horses in any Streets , except onely such Carmen , whose Carts being Laden with Hay or Straw , do stand in the Hay-markets . And His Majesty doth also Command all and every the Inhabitants , That they do constantly observe the days of Sweeping and Cleansing the Streets , and do then set out their Dust and Soyl in a readiness to be removed by the Scavenger at such hours , and in such manner as shall be appointed , as they will answer the contrary at their perils . And His Majesty doth also Require and Command all Pavyers , That in Paving or Repairing any Pavement , they presume not to use any other Stone then Great and Hard Stones , or Pebbles . And to the end that the ill and deceitful manner of Paving may not be hid by covering the same with Gravel , or other kind of Dirt , His Majesty doth further Command all and every such Pavyers , That assoon as the Paving , or Repairing of any Pavement is finisht , they cause all the Gravel and Dirt then made use of , to be carefully Swept up together , and forthwith carried away , as they will answer the contrary at their Perils . And His Majesty doth hereby Command and Enjoyn all Iustices of Peace , Constables , and other Officers to whom it shall or may appertain , That they cause His Majesties Pleasure herein Declared , to be duely and carefully observed , and the Offenders herein to be brought to condign Punishment , upon pain of His Majesties High Displeasure , and such further Penalties as may justly be afflicted upon such as shall be found negligent or remiss in the execution of these His Majesties Royal Commands .

Given at the Court at Whitehall this 29th day of March , in the 24th year of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .
