Philadelphia; June 16.
WHEREAS the frequent defections from tlxs
city, anl quantity of cioaths fold by the foldieri,
gives great room to suppose the former are aided aid
affixed by ill dilpofcd persons, and the latter encou
raged by ignorant persons purchasing foldieis cloaths,
arms, &c. I therefore think it requisite to info m al
persons, that by an aft of the General Assembly of thii
St^e,
Every Constable is authorifed and dire^ed to Search
every fufpe&ed place for deserters, and bring before a
Justice of the Peace every fufpiuous person, whom tie
Jaftice is to commit if he fees any reasonable cause; and

hending a deierter, or the G ^er or Sheriff for him, is
to receive from the efti :er to whom he is delivered up,
Three Dollars, over and above the Continental bounty
of Ten Dollars :
Every person harbouring, fix hours by day or twelve
by night, any deserter, is to pay thelum of Five Pounds:

to be changed, Ihall pay the value thereof, and also a
fine of Five Pounds.
Half of the above fines to go to the poor of the town
ihi?, and half t® the informer.
As there is great region to believe many deserters are
received on board armed and other vikeis, all com
man-lers are requested to be cautious whom they engage,
as the Law will certainly be enforced against every one
on bo'ard whole vefel a deserter is found.
Every person apprehending and bringing a deserter
from the Continental Army or Navy to me in Froni
