WHereas in the fourth year of King Edward the Fourth , a right good and profitable Act was made to prevent the Transportation of all such Vnwrought Horns which the Company of Horners should be willing to buy ; which Law continued in force until the First year of the Reign of Our Royal Grandfather King James of ever blessed memory ; and being then Repealed , the Repeal thereof was soon after found to be so prejudicial to the Manufactures of the Realm , that in the Seventh year of Our said Grandfathers Reign , the same Law was again Revived and Reinforced , with the addition of a further Penalty of forfeiting the double value of all Vnwrought Horns which should be sold to Strangers , or sent beyond-Sea , as by the said Acts may appear . And whereas also Our Royal Father of ever blessed memory , by His Letters Patents , bearing date at Westminster the Fifth day of May , in the Third year of His Reign , did thereby Ratifie and Confirm unto the Wardens and Goodmen of the Company of Horners of the City of London , and their Successours , all the Powers and Priviledges in the said Acts contained , and did thereby strictly Prohibit all other persons to Sell or Transport any Vnwrought Horns , contrary to the Tenor thereof : And further , by His Royal Proclamation bearing date the twentieth day of April , in the fourteenth year of His Reign , did command the said Laws to be put in execution ; and that all His Officers and Ministers should be aiding and assisting to the said Company in the due execution of the said Laws , and of all other Powers and Priviledges to them granted by Authority of Parliament , or by any of His Majesties Letters Patents . And whereas We are Informed by the humble Petition of Our loving Subjects , the Master , Wardens , Assistants , and Fellowship of the Mystery of Horners of the City of London , That very great quantities of Vnwrought Horns are bought up by Strangers and others , and carried Vnwrought to the parts beyond the Seas , contrary to the aforesaid Statutes , and there Wrought into Manufactures , whereby very many persons in these Our Kingdoms do want Imployment , and very many Families are brought to Poverty : We therefore of Our Princely Care , minding the advance and encouragement of Trade , the increase of Manufactures in these Our Dominions , the Imployment of the Poor , and the due execution of Our Laws , have thought fit by advice of Our Council , to declare this Our Royal Will and Pleasure , and do hereby strictly Charge and Command , That the aforesaid Statutes be put in their full execution ; And that no Stranger nor Alien by himself , or by any other , do , or shall buy any English Horns Vnwrought , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , of any Tanners , Butchers , or of any other persons ; And that none of Our Subjects , either Tanners or Butchers ; or any other person or persons whatsoever , shall Sell , or put to Sale , any Horns Vnwrought , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , to any Aliens or Strangers ; or send any Horns Vnwrought , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , either upon or with the Hides , or otherwise , to any parts beyond the Seas , upon pain of Our high Displeasure , and of such Penalties and Punishments as shall or may be inflicted upon the Offenders , for breach of the said Laws , and Contempt of Our Royal Will and Pleasure herein declared . And We do further Charge and Command all and every of Our Subjects , as well Natives as Foreigners , That they presume not to Transport , or cause to be Transported any Horns Vnwrought , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , nor to be aiding or assisting to any person or persons who shall endeavour to Transport the same , as they will answer the contrary at their utmost peril . And We do also straitly Charge and Command all Customers , Comptrollers , Searchers , Waiters , and other Officers and Ministers whatsoever , attending in any of Our Ports , That they do from time to time cause diligent and strict Search and Inquiry to be made for all such Vnwrought Horns , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , as shall be endeavoured to be Transported , and the same to Seise and Detain until they may be viewed by some Members of the said Company , and not suffer the same to be redelivered , if any Member of the said Company will deal for the same at reasonable Prices , upon pain of incurring Our utmost Displeasure , in case they shall be found negligent or remiss in the execution of these Our Commands . And We do further Charge and Command all and singular Admirals , Vice-Admirals , Mayors , Iustices of the Peace , Sheriffs , Customers , Comptrollers , Searchers , Bayliffs , Constables , Headboroughs , and all other Officers Civil and Military whatsoever , and all other Our loving Subjects , That they and every of them be from time to time aiding , helping , furthering and assisting to the said Master , Wardens and Assistants , and unto all and every the Members of the same Incorporation , in the Searching for all such Vnwrought Horns , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , as shall be endeavoured to be Transported , or which shall be brought to any place near the Sea-coasts , with intention to Transport the same , and in causing the same to be seised and detained as aforesaid , and in no wise to hinder or molest the said Master , Wardens , Assistants , and Fellowship , or any of them , in the due execution of the Powers , Authorities and Priviledges by the Acts of Parliament aforesaid , or otherwise by any of the Letters Patents of Our Father of ever blessed Memory , to them given and granted ; as they and every of them will answer the contrary at their utmost perils : And that they do from time to time certifie unto the Lords of Our Privy Council , the names of all such persons whom they shall find to be Offenders against this Our Proclamation ; To the end there may be such further proceedings against them , as shall be agreeable to the utmost severity of the Law in such cases . And We do hereby straitly Charge and Command all Masters of Ships , Mariners , and all other Our loving Subjects whatsoever , and every of them , That they presume not at any time hereafter to receive into their Ships or Vessels , any Vnwrought Horns , or Bunns of Horns Vnwrought , with intent to Transport the same , contrary to the meaning of the said Acts of Parliament , and of this Our Proclamation , as they will answer the contrary at their perils .
