BY THE Lords-Justices and COUNCIL . A PROCLAMATION CHARLES PORTER THO . CONINGESBY ,

WHereas We have by Our Proclamation , bearing Date the Eighteenth day of September last past , thought fit to Publish and Declare in the words following ,

WHereas many Idle and Dissolute Persons have of late deserted their Habitations , and are become Tories , Thieves and Rapparees , committing most outrageous Robberies , Burglaries and Thefts , and may therefore justly look on their Estate as desperate , and that they have transgressed beyond hopes of Pardon : Nevertheless , We being willing to impute their Obstinacy to the Ignorance they were in of their own Condition , the Influence and Delusions they may be under from their Landlords and other Superiors . To the end they may be left without all excuse , if they shall refuse and neglect the present Grace and Favour , are pleased to publish and declare by this Our Proclamation at this instant , after many signal Defeats of those Forces in the Field , and reducing most of the strong Holds and Garrisons from whence they may have derived their confidence , Their Majesties farther Favour , Grace and Pardon to all and every such Robbers , Thieves and Rapparees within Our Quarters , as are now on their keeping , as shall within the space of one Month from the Date hereof , render themselves and deliver up their Arms to any Iustice or Iustices of the Peace of any Counties , and before such Iustice or Iustices of the Peace take the Oath of Fidelity and Allegiance to Their Majesties , Our Sovereign Lord and Lady King WILLIAM and Queen MARY , that they shall on Certificate from such Iustice of the Peace , be received into Their Majesties Protection , and be full and freely pardoned , as to their Lives and Liberties , all Treasons , Burglaries , Robberies , Thefts and other Crimes and Misdemeanours whatsoever before that time by them committed or done , and the Iustices of the Peace , who shall give any such Certificate , are hereby required and directed to make return unto vs the Lords Iustices under their han●s the names of all such persons to whom they shall have given any Certificate , with the places of their Aboad or Residence , what quality or degree they were of , and what Arms were delivered up by them , And We do hereby declare , that We shall hereafter look on all such persons that shall willfully refuse and neglect this their Majesties Grace and Clemency altogether unworthy thereof in time to come , nevertheless it is not hereby intended the said Grace and Pardon shall be construed to extend to any offence or offences that shall be willfully Commited after notice of this Our Proclamation .

And forasmuch as those Thieves , Robbers , and Rapparees have their Incouragement , and Subsistance from divers persons who pretend to live peaceably under the Protection of their Majesties Government being relieved , harboured , concealed , and comforted by them contrary to the many good Laws of this Kingdom . We do hereby declare that any Person or Persons that shall on any pretence whatsoever relieve , harbour , conceal , or comfort any the said Thieves , Robbers , or Rapparees or their accomplices shall loose and forfeit the benefit of his or their Protection , and be also prosecuted with the utmost severity of the Laws for such offence , And as a reward to all such Loyal Subjects , as shall detect and discover any the said Thieves , Robbers , and Rapparees so as they shall be apprehended or any of their harbourers or relievers so as they shall thereof be convicted shall for every such Tory or Rapparee so apprehended and for every harbourer or reliever so Convicted be paid the Sum of forty shillings . And whereas the unprofitable Custom of Burning Corn in the straw is by a statute made in this Kingdom in the eleventh year of King CHARLES the first prohibited under severe penaltyes , yet is the same as We are informed in divers places practised and more especially for Comfort and Support of the said Robbers and Rapparees , We do therefore hereby declare and publish that all persons offending therein shall loose and forfeit the benefit of their protections and shall be also farther proceeded against according to Law . And whereas divers all affected persons under colour and pretence of secureing their Corn do hide and bury the same , in truth the better to enable themselves to relieve and succour Tories , Thieves and Rapparees , and to let the said Tories , Thieves and Rapparees know where to have and take the same : We have thought fit hereby to declare , all such persons as shall hide or bury their Corn shall be reputed and taken as disaffected to the Government and shall loose and forfeit the benefit of any protections heretofore given them .

And whereas since the issuing of the said Proclamation , the Province of Connaught and all other places which then were in the Enemies Quarters are reduced to Their Majesties Obedience , nevertheless many Idle and Dissolute Persons do continue to commit Outrageous Robberies and Thefts in those Parts , We therefore to leave them also without Excuse , if they shall refuse this Our present Grace and Favour , are pleased to Declare and Publish by this Our Proclamation Their Majesties further Grace and Pardon to all and every such Robbers , Thieves and Rapparees in the said Province of Connaught , and all other places which at the time of Issuing Our Proclamation aforesaid were in the Enemies Quarters , as shall by or before the Fifth day of November next lay hold on the said Proclamation , and render and submit themselves to Their Majesties Government , as by the said Proclamation is directed and required , the benefit whereof shall be as fully extended to them , as if they had come in by the time in the said Proclamation heretofore limited .
