'e^%.js^^ without previously obtaining a Licence to to
^^'~{ffi/?~ 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 finct the said Proclamation, made and executed,
or will make and execute, Deeds, Conveyances and Affurahces
of their Estates, for the purpose of defrauding their honed
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 anv Deed, Conveyance or Assurance of
Lands, Houses, Negroes, or other Species of Property, hath
been made and executed, since the firftday of January,jn the

executed, or their legal Representatives, to tender the fame
at the proper Offices in Charlellown, to be recorded ; that is
to'fiiy, all such Deeds, Conveyances and Affarances of Lands
and Houses, at the Register's Office; and all such Deeds, Con
veyances and AfTurances of Negroes or other personal Property,
at the Secretary's Office, within two Months from the Date
hereof, or from the Date of such future Deed, Conveyance or

ledge and ' Belief, such Deed, Conveyance or Assurance was
made for a valuable Consideration, bona fide due, and ' not to
elpde 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, fliall immediately be seized and se
questered: PROVIDED nevcrthelefs, 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 luch
Deed. Conveyance or Assurance, if, on considering the Nature
and Merits of the Application, they fliall 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 assigned, either absolutely, or under
