WHEREAS it has been represented to the
Commandant, that sundry persons
going out with Fowling-Pieces, have madea
practice of shooting near high roads, and
other places of public resort, thereby render
ihg it very unfafe for passengers and others
frequenting the said roads ; and that in con
sequence of such practice some fatal accidents
have actually happened. The Commandant
therefore judges it necessary for the public
fafety, to prohibit all fach Fowling near th*
environs of the city, or within half a mile of
any high road or public frequented foot path,
as the offenders will be anfiveraWe for the
confequertces attending the disobedience of
this order.
