A PROCLAMATION.
THE Necessity of a seasonable and ample Supply of
FUEL, for the Use of his Majesty's Troops,
obliges me, however reluctant to call on the Inhabitants
of Long-Bland, to furnUb a Proportion of Wood for thv
Barrack-Yard in New-York, fevera! Plans have been
fucceifivet, adopted ; but without their Affiance a Ef
ficient Quantity to guard ageing the Severities of along
Winter cannot be procured; and 1 flatter m#felf, they
will the more cheerfully comply with the Requisition, as
rhe Burthen, if any, will be equally borne, and fr he In
jury that mult unavoidably befal Individuals, from an
unforefeen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of King's is therefore required to get
1500 Cords; Queen's Count, 4500 ; and the Western
Part of Suffolk (including Huntington, 1%, Smith-
Town, and Brookhaven) gooo Cords, ready cut and
corded b, the 15th of August ensuing.
And that the Distribution ma, be equally made and all
Waste avoided, the Civil and Military Officers of each
County will meet, on Saturday the 25th Inst. at Flat-
Buffi, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and assess on each
Difttia, a proportionate Part of the Quantity demanded#
Tne Officers in the Diftrift will then direct the Farmers
each to cut his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
poffetfes; and on Notice being given, will muftez the
reamt of rhe Neighbourhood, and cart the Wood to such
Lending as fh;ll be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to be by them surveyed in the Presence of the
Barrack Officer, who will give a Certificate on the Spot
for the Number of Cords, to ffie Proprietor at the Rare
of Thirty Shillings per Cord for Walout, and Twenty tor
Oak ; and allo for the Cartage, at the Rate of Four
Shillings a Cord per Mile# The Teams fa employed will
be fully protested, and the Certificates punctually paid.
The foregoing Regulations not being adapted to the
Situation of the eastern Part of Suffolk ; the inhabitants
of Southold, Southampton, and East Hampton, art re
quired to cut in the Wood Lands Ute belonging to Wil.
ham Smith, and William Floyd of said County (now
out in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearest to the
Landing b, Maftick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by thefirft cf September. On due Information be^
ing given, they will cart the fame, and attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when surveyed on
the Wattr-fide, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
Shillings per Cord, for cutting and carting as above men
tioned.
These Orders being calculated at once to provide for the
Army, and to give every Security to the Farmer against
others interfering with his Property ; he will be left
without Excuse, if by a criminal Neglect he dues not
avail himfelf of the advantageous Offers held out to him,
and must expert to fuffer all the Evils coofequenton his
Disobedience.

September 2, 1780.
THE Commander in Chief having given ra
couragement to the Farmers on the iftand, to
repair their fences, and protested them againtt trel'-
passes, it is become expedient, for the easy recovery
of damages from their neighbours, that the regula
tions formerly in use be again revived.
It is therefore dire&ed, that the rules last eftab
liflied bv a majority of the freeholders in each
to^nlhip, for making, maintaining, and amending
their partition and circular fences, as well as those
for impounding all manner of cattie or creatures,
be in future observed until they shall by a like ma
jority be altered ; and the alterations, entered on
the town regitter, to be from thence forward, the
governing orders. And that they may be duly
carried into execution, viewers, or overseers of the
fences, shall be annually chosen, (as has been cus
tomary) who are required to a&, under the penalty
of five pounds, which will be levied for the use of
the poor, on information given to the Police of Inch
refusal, and other performs appointed to act in their
Head.
The overseers to make fufficient public pounds in
the usual places, at the charge of the diltria, and
nominate a keeper to each pound.
Swine running at large, and found without the
owners inc^fures, may be impounded by any in
habitant.
And all complaints made by the party injured,
refpe&trig the negtea or abtife of these regulations,
or of trefpafcs not remidiea i>y them, will be heard
and determined at the Police.
