BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT AND COUNCIL . CLARENDON .

WHEREAS there have been of late many Burglaries and Robberies committed in several parts of this Kingdom , to the ruine of some of His Majesties good Subjects , and the great disquiet of many others ; And it is found by experience , that His Majesties Mercy that hath been heretofore extended to some persons that have been attainted of such Crimes , hath been an encouragement to others to commit the like . For the prevention therefore of such Offences for the future , and the taking away all hopes of Impunity from such as shall hereafter be found guilty thereof . We the Lord Lieutenant and Council have thought fit by this our Proclamation , to publish and declare , That no person or persons who shall hereafter be convict or attainted of any Robbery or Burglary , are to expect any Pardon for the same , or have the favour of being transported into any foreign Plantation , but that the Law in all such cases shall be put in due execution : And also that for the speedy Tryal of such persons as shall be apprehended for any such Crimes , We shall take care that special Commissions shall from time to time be issued to that purpose into such Counties in this Kingdom where there shall be occasion for them .

And We do hereby further Require and Command that the Laws of this Realm concerning the keeping of Watch and Ward , and for raising the Hue and Cry be duly Observed and Executed ; And that His Majesties Iudges of Assize and Iustices of Peace in the several Counties of this Kingdom do take care that such as shall be found negligent therein , as also the Harbourers of all Notorious Robbers and Felons be duly Prosecuted and proceeded against . And the several Iustices of Peace of this Kingdom are hereby also required to be careful in taking sufficient Bail from such Offenders as shall be brought before them in all such Cases where by the Examinations taken by them , they shall find just reason to suspect or believe the persons to be guilty of the Crimes whereof they shall be accused , and where such persons are by Law Bailable . And where any persons accused of the like Crimes shall fly from Iustice , or cannot be apprehended , the said Iustices of Peace are in such Cases to take Examinations concerning them , and return the same to the next Issizes , to the end that they may thereupon be Endicted , which Endictments are from time to time to be forthwith Return'd into His Majesties Court of Chief Place , to the end that the Offenders therein nam'd may be Outlawed thereupon . And all Commanders of Horse and Foot , and all others His Majesties Officers and Loving Subjects are to be aiding and assisting in the due apprehension and bringing to Iustice of such persons as shall be suspected or accused of any Robberies or Burglaries , as they and every of them will answer the contrary at their perils .
