W did forbid all Persons whomsoever to fell or
dispose of any Lands, Houses or Negroes,
without previously obtaining a Licence so to
do from the Commandant of Charleftown,
on the penalty of Seizure and Sequestration : Notwithstand
ing which, I have reason to believe that many of those who
inflexibly persist in an unnatural Rebellion against His Ma
jesty's most auspicious "Government, under which they enjoy
ed the highest degree of civil and political Liberty, have, both
before and since the said Proclamation, made and executed,
or will make and execute, Deeds, Conveyances and Assurances
of their Estates, for the purpose of defrauding their honest
Creditors, as well as to elude those Forfeitures which the Jus
tice of the Law has annexed to their Crime : I DO THERE
FORE, by this my Proclamation, ftridly enjoin and require
all Persons to whom any Deed, Conveyance or Assurance of
Lands, Houses, Negroes, or other Species of Property, hath
been made and executed, since the firft day of January, in the
Year of our Lord 1775, or which shall be hereafter made and
executed, or their legal Representatives, to tender the fame
at the proper Offices in Charleftown, to be recorded ; that is
to fay, all such Deeds, Conveyances and Assurances of Lands
and Houses, at the Register's Office; and all such Deeds, Con
veyances and Assurances of Negroes or other personal Property,
at the Secretary's Office, within three Months from the Date
hereof, or from the Date of such future Deed, Conveyance or
Assurance, at fartheft. And that on tendering the fame to be
recorded as above, at such Offices, the Person or Persons to
whom such Deed,Conveyance or Assurance hath been executed,
or his, her or their legal Representatives, together with one of
the fubferibing Witnesses, or in Case of Death, some Person
acquainted with his or her Character of Writing, shall make
Oath before the said Register or Secretary refpedively, or some
lawful Magistrate, that to the best of his, her and their Know
ledge and Belief, such Deed, Conveyance or Assurance was
made for a valuable Consideration, bona fide due, and not to
elude the Payment of any just Debt, or to prevent any legal
Forfeiture : On Failure whereof, all such Lands, Houses, Ne
groes and other Property, thereby granted, bargained, fold,
assigned, transferred and made over, on Proof of such Deed,
Conveyance or Assurance, shall immediately be seized and se
questered: PROVIDED nevertheless, that if a Compliance
with this Proclamation should be rendered impracticable in
any Case, by intervening Accidents, the Party affeded shall
have Liberty to apply to the Court of Police, which will grant
a longer Time for the Production, Proof and Registry of such
Deed, Conveyance or Assurance, if, on considering the Nature
and Merits or the Application, they shall think the fame rea
sonable. AND for the more effectual Prevention of the
Frauds above alluded to, all Persons, who are or shall be
Parties, Privies or Witnesses to any Deed, Conveyance or
Assurance, whereby any Species of Property is, are or shall
be granted, conveyed or aligned, either absolutely, or under
any secret or clandestine Trust, expressed, implied or result
ing from any ConftruCtion or Operation of Law, for the Pur
poses aforefaid, are in like Manner ftriCtly enjoined and re
quired to give Information thereof, to one or other of the In
tendants of the Police, within two Months from this Date, as
