GARRISON ORDERS,
Bth September, 1781.
VtyHEREAS notwithstanding a former Order, dated 12th
V April, 1781, direXing all persons whatever to deliver
in to the Ordnance-Store, all Gunpowder and every other
Species of Ammunition in their Possession ; yet there is great
reason to believe, that Quantities of Powder have been re
tained on board different Ships in this Harbour, and fold to
Persons who have made a very improper Use of it, to the great
Detriment of his Majesty's Service :
It is now expressly ordered, that the Owners or Masters of
every Vessel which at present is, or may from the Date hereof
come into this Harbour, do immediately, or in the Space of
fix Hours after they come to an Anchor, make a true and
faithful Return at the Ordnance-Office, of the Quantity of
Powder or any other Species of Ammunition they may have
on board their Vessels, that the fame may be taken into Cus
tody and proper Receipts given; Every Instance of Neglect,
or Disobedience of this Order will be punched with the SEI
ZURE and FORFEITURE of the Vessel and Cargo for his
Majesty's Use ; and any Person who will give information shall
receive a Reward of FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS upon the
Vessel and Cargo being condemned.

PROCLAMATION.
AVING Reason to believe, that there are
tig & many Persons residing among the Rebels, as
alio Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
IT and Militia, who are with-held from joining
H their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
His Majesty in the different Provincial Regh
ments, from an Appiehenfion, that they
must not only Inlift for Life, but perhaps not be allowed to
flake 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 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 Inli'flinent, th. Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Difcbarge, 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.
v HEREAS the Enemy are in the greatest Want
°' a " Sorts of Supplies for their Army,
which cannot be procured but with in
finite Difficulty, except from this Town ;
CT W and as it is the indifoenfable Duty of every
'^.^4 Friend to the British Government, to use
his utmost Endeavours to prevent their re
ceiving such cffential Assistance, I DO THEREFORE call
upon all His Majesty's Subjects resident here, to exert them
selves for that Purpose.
AND WHEREAS I have Reason to fufpeX, that divers
Persons in this Town, as well as in other Parts of the Pro
vince, seduced from their Allegiance through Avarice, or
actuated by baser Motives, have secretly supplied the Rebels
with Arms, Ammunition, Warlike-Stores, Salt, Medicines,
Boots, and every article of Saddlery: I DO GIVE NOTICE,
That all Persons deteXed in such criminal Practices, or furnifh
ing the Enemy with any Kind of Supplies whatever, will most
assuredly be punched as Traitors to their King and Country.
AND, for the more effectual Suppression of an Evil so pre
judicial to His Matefly's Service, I DO HEREBY offer a Re
ward of FIFE HUNDRED GUINEAS to any Person or Per
sons who will give Information of such atrocious Offenders,
so that they may be convicted, and made Examples of Public

AS there is an absolute necessity for the fubferibing Admi

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
yfly'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: IDO THERE
FORE, by this my Proclamation, ftriXly enjoin and require
all Persons to whom any Deed, Conveyance or Alfurance 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 engendering 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 Reprefentatites, together with one of
the fubferibing Witnesses, or in Case of Death, some Person
acquainted with his or her Character qf Writing, shall make
Oath before the said Register or Secretary refpeXively, 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 jide due, and not to
elude the Payment of any just Debt, of to prevent any legal
Forfeiture : On Failure whereof, al! 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 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 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 assigned, either absolutely, or under
any secret or elandeftine Trust, expressed, implied or result

poses aforefaid, are in like Manner ftriXly enjoined and re
quired to give Information thereof, to one or other of the In

they will answer the contrary at their Peril, on Proof of the
Concealment of such fraudulent and criminal Transitions.
