A PROCLAMATION.
* HEREAS there is too much reason to, believe
a""" s e veral Persons, in breach of their Al
- legiance, have made a practice of exporting
from this Town, and other parts of the Pro
vince, Arms, Ammunition and other Warlike
'^^oz^ Stores, for the supply of the Rebels, and
Mi^Q^r' 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 flerling, to
any Person, or Persons, who Ihall make discovery of luch
atrocious offenders, 16 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 (hall 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.
GIVEN under my Hand at Charleftown, this third Day
cf August, 1781, and tn the Twenty-fr/l Year of His
'Majeftfs Reign. N. BALFOUR.
'By Order of the Commandant,
H. Barry, Secretary.
