His Royal Highness being extremely sensible of the great detriment it is to the country in general, that several officers and soldiers of his army go out in parties to take horses, under pretence of bringing them in for service of the army; and as several abuses may be committed on that pretext, his Royal Highness strictly commands and enjoins all officers and others, under the penalty of being cashier'd, if an officer, and immediate punishment of whipping, if a common soldier, to take any horses on any pretence whatsoever; except in action from those in arms, or on a special warrant, sign'd by his Royal Highness's secretary, or a general officer of his Highness's army: and this order his Royal Highness is determin'd to see execute with the outmost rigour..
