^E^ HEREAS there is too much reason to believe
fl that several Persons, in breach of their Al
ty/^^^ff, legiance, have made a practice of exporting
''^ Wfrom this Town, and other parts of the Pro
vince, Arms, Ammunition and other Warlike
Stores, for the supply of the Rebels, and
^^^ ^ e to th e great prejudice of His Ma efty'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 difeovery of such
atrocious offenders, so that he or they may be brought to
condign punifhmenL
And any Negro privy to such iniquitous practice, or to
whole knowledge it may come, and shall give information as
above, will thereupon be entitled to his Freedom in the fulled
sense, and receive, for such his fidelity to the King's Govern
ment, an handsome gratuity.

_ HE REAS the Right Honourable Charles
^!% Earl Cornwallis, by Proclamation, bear
g -^+''„ ing Date the twenty-fifth Day of July last,
fo'f '&IC did forbid ail Persons whomsoever to fell or
' *§% dispose of any Lands, Houses or Negroes,
f^^a^ without previously obtaining a Licence so to
^^.fy^^ 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 thi my Proclamation, ftridtly enjoin and require
fl Persons to whom any Deed, Conveyance or Assurance of
L nds, ionfes, Negroes, or other Species of Property, hath
b en made and executed, since the firft day of January, in the
Icar of our Lord 177', 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 ot her 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 refpedtively, 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
c ide the Payment of any just Debt, cr to prevent any legal
Forfeiture : On Failure whereof, all such Lands, Houses, Ne
groes and other Property, thereby granted, bargained, fold,
aligned, transferred and made over, on Proof of such Deed,
Conveyance or Assurance, shall immediately be seized and fe
quefterd: PROVIDED nevertheless, that if a Compliance
with this Proclamation should be rendered impracticable in
any Case, by intervening Accidents, the Party affected shall
have liberty to apply to the Court of Police, which will grant
a longer Time for the Production, Proof and Regiftrv 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 shall
be granted, conveyed or aligned, either absolutely, or under
any secret or clahdeftine Trust, expressed, implied or result
ing from any Conftru&ion or Operation of Law, for the Pur
pofesafortfaid, 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

PROCLAMATION.
m AVING Reason to believe, that there are
man 7 Persons residing among the Rebels, as
^W^W^Y 2 "° Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
FT "' Militia, who are with-held from joining
"^^ their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
™ s Majesty in the different Provincial Regi
ments, from an Appi ehenfion, that they
must not only Inlift for Life, but perhaps not be allowed to
make Choice of the Provincial Regiment, to which particular
Connections may naturally incline them:
I think proper to give Notice to all Persons who shall en
gage to serve His Majesty for three Years, or during 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 cf the Provincial Regiments.

THE Commandant is pleased to direct, that hereafter no
Person living under the Rebel Government, shall have Li

any House within this Town, without a special Licence for so
doing, as it is intended to take all such Houses as may be want
ed for the Public Service, paying to the owners of those se
cured by the capitulation, a reasonable Rent for the fame ; as by
this means Government will be enabled to reinstate its firm
Friends in possession of their own houses, within a short space
of time. fob. JAMES FRASER.
