in this Rare, are thereby ftri&ly ordered and en
joined to give all needful aid and assistance for car
rying the laid a& into execution, as by the said a&
reference being thereunto had, may appear.
And whereas, by a certain other a& of the Le
gislature of this Rate, intitled, “ An Ad for pre
venting an illicit trade and intercourse between the
fubjedts of this Rate and the enemy," palled the
twenty-foui th day of June last paR, it is made highly
penal to carry or attempt to carry any goods,
wares, merchandize, and every species of money or
.bullion, into the lines or encampments of the ene
my or of their adherents, or into any place in their
a&ual power or ^effeffion, without the permission
or passport thereby directed, or to bring any goods,
wares or merchandize out of the lines or encamp
ments of the enemy or their adherents, or out of
any place in their a&ual power or pofefiion, as by
the laid last mentioned a&, reference being thereun
to had, may more fully appear.
And whereas there is great reason to apprehend
that the enemy employ a number of spies and emis
saries to pass and re-pass through this date, to
collect intelligence, and for other purposes preju
dicial to the Commonwealth, and that the publick
Rage-drivers frequently grant pALges to persons
net having the passports by the said herein hrR re
cited a& directed, and who pass and re-pass through
this Rate, in order to get into the enemy's lines
without the passes for that purpose directed bv another
law of tills Rate: And whereas the enemy, by eve
ry effort in their power, are attempting to inttoduce
their manufacture among us, thereby expecting
to find employment for their artificers in Europe,
to drain us of our circulating fpccie, to re-attach
us to England, to render the payment of taxes
more hurdenfome to the people, to make us fuf
peßed by our ally, for throwing into their hands
those commercial advantages which are so justly
due to the French, and to give the greatest difeou
ragement to all lawful and honest commerce. And
whereas a number of the citizens cf this, Rate,
prompted by the thirst of felf-intereft, deaf to the
voice of their country, and uninfluenced by every
principle of publick virtue and patriotism, arc en
gaged in the said infamous trahick, in defiance of
the said last recited act, for which reasons it is be
come indispensably necessary to carry the above re
cited aft into the most vigorous execution: 1 have
therefore thought fit hereby to request all the good
citizens of this Rate who tender the welfare of
their country, and the glorious cause of liberty and
independence at this critical junfture, when the
enemy is reduced to their final fiiift of intrigue,
Rratagem and corruption, to exert themselves in the
execution of the said a&s, according to the respec
tive powers and authorities on them conferred by
the fame; and to,aid and afiiß to the utmoft_of
their power, all the officers, civil and military, in
the difeharge of their duty refpeAing the premises,
and to detect and bring to juhice all persons what
soever, that shall presume to travel through this
Rate, contrary to the said firft recited a&, or be
concerned in the said pernicious traffick prohibited
by the lalc, and to use every lawful ways and means
to prevent and fuppiefs it, and moreoverto carry into
effect such parts of the laws of this Rate as are in
tended to retrain and punilh vagrant, idle and dif
orderjy persons.

AS it is now become evident almolt to every
whig in New-Jersey, that the illicit trade
carried on with the enemy is attended with the
moR dangerous consequences to the independence
of this country; it is the general determination of
the inhabitants of New-Jersey, to exert every nerve
to put a step to this pernicious traffick; and as
there cannot be a better mode than to publish the
names of those convicted of this crime, that they
may be handed down with infamy to posterity —
These are therefore to inform the publick, that'
Captain John Piatt having obtained a warrant to
fearen the house of Enos Jaques, of Woodbridge,
where he fufpecled a quantity of contraband goods
were deposited, the house was searched, and three
bags of tea were found, and the fame tried at New-
Brunswick, on Wednesday the 17th infant, by
John Lloyd, Joseph Olden, and - - Randolph,

of Five Hundred Pounds, as a penalty for offering
the fame for sale, according to the late law of this
