P ROCLAMATIO N.
- AVING Reason to believe, that there are
& M many Perfans residing among the Rebels, as
also Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
J^ _ and Militia, who are with-held from joining
H EQ? their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
ACT His Majesty in the different Provincial Regi
t^< ,%>"'' ments, from an Apptehenlion, that they
mutt not only Inlift for Life, but perhaps not be allowed to
make Choice of the Provincial Regiment, to which particular
Connexions may naturally incline them:
I think proper to give Notice to all Persons who fliall en
gage to serve His Majesty for three Years, or daring the Rebel
lion, in any Provincial Regiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Date hereof, that they shall re
ceive on their Inliftment the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Discharge, they shall be entitled to the
Grant of Land His Majesty has been graciously pleased to pro
mise to the Soldiers of the Provincial Regiments.

A PROCLAMATION.
By NISBET BALFOUR, Esquire, Lieutenant - Colonel
of His Majesty's Twenty-third Regiment, or Royal Welch Fu
fleers, Commandant of CharleJlown, ^c.
SH EREAS the Right Honourable Charles
Earl Cornwallis, by Proclamation, bear
ing Date the twenty-fifth Day of July last,
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 perfiftin an unnatural Rebellion against Ilis 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 eltfde those Forfeitures which the Jus
tice of the Law has annexed to their Crime : I DO THERE
FORE, by this my Proclamation, fcridly enjoin and require
ail 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 fiich 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^C onveyance 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 refpe&iveiy, 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 affected fliall
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 of 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 fliall
be granted, conveyed or aligned, either absolutely, or under
any secret or elandeftine Trust, expressed, implied or result
ing from any Conftrudtion or Operation of Law, for the Pur
poses aforefaid, are in like Manner ftri&ly enjoined and re
quired to give Information thereof, to one or other of the In
tendants of the Police, within three Months from this Date, as
they will answer the contrary at their Peril, on Proof of the
Concealment of such fraudulent and criminal Tranfadtions.
CIFEN under my Hand and Seal, at Charleftown, this
Twenty-second Day of August, in the Year of our Lord
One tho^fand seven hundred and eight,-one, and in the
Twenty-firft His Majesty's Reign.

A PROCLAMATION.
e \. HEREAS there is too much reason to believe
A<» f' that several Persons, in breach of their Al
- have made a practice of exporting
R>l IV from this Town, and other parts of the Pro
vin-ce, Arms, Ammunition and other Warlike
k^^^'w?™ Stores, for the supply of the Rebels, and
to the great prejudice of His Majesty's Ser
vice; for Prevention whereof, I have thought fit, hereby to
offer a Reward of FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS sterling, to
any Person, or Persons, who shall make discovery of such
atrocious offenders, so that he or they may be brought to
condign punishment.
And any Negro privy to such iniquitous practice, or to
Whose knowledge it may come, and fliall give information as
above, will thereupon be entitled to his Freedom in the fulleft
fcnfe, and receive, for such his fidelity to the King's Govern
ment, an handsome gratuity.
GIVEN under my Hand at Charleftown, this third Day
of Auguyl, 1781, and tn the Twenty-firJl Year of His
Majefl^'s Reign. N. BALFOUR.
