A PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS great inconvenience hath happened
to many pedons in this Srate, by the Conti
cental officers mistaking a recommendation of the Ho
norable Congress, addr.ffed to the fevera! States, that
they would permit fervapts to be enlisted into the Con
tinental service, for an authoritative direction in the
premises: AN D WHERBAS many of said officers,
and also officers in the pay of this State, have thereupon
proceeded to enlist bought servants, under indenture,
to the great damage of their masters: AND WHERE
AS the Legislature of this Common Wealth, having
had opportu Fy of perceiving that luch enlistments,
though distressing to the masters, had not promoted the
general service in any proportionable degree, have de
clined giving their concurrence in said measure: AND
WHEREAS some persons, pretending ignorance, may
Rill enlist servants. ' THESE ARE THEREFORE
ftrimly to forbid ail recruiting officers in the Continen
tal service, and all others, trem enliftirg servants or
apprentices within this State, on pain of being prose
cuted with the utmost rigor of Law.
