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

HAVING affum^d the command, of his
Majesty's Grips on this fraren. with the
Warmest inclination to give every proper En
couragement to the outfit of private ihip. c and
vessels of war, so long as their owners and com
manders should keep themselves to the terms
upon which it has been granted ; the employ
ing therein, such seamen, or fea-faring men,
not having previously belonged to the navy,
as might be released 'from captivity, and such
of the colonies as might return to their allegi
ance, and be inclined to serve with them," I
observe with concern, that notwithstanding
the repeated publications of Sir George Col
lier, fetring forth the great daihage his Ma
jesty's service has fuflered from the various
methods pursued, to entice seamen to desert
from it: Low people are hired, public houses
set up, and every attempt continued to be
made to seduce them from their duty, insomuch
that no boat can come on shore, but every art
likeQto prevail with them is pradifed, and
too often with success.
As therefore all entreaties to forbear from
theie wicked and unlawful practices have prov
ed vain; Ido hereby declare, that in future
for every seaman, or fea-faring man, that may
desert from the King's ships or tranfpor,ts here,
I will press man for man, out of the privateers
and merrhonc vUreh, and my determination is
delivered thus publicly, that not only the mer
chants and adventurers interested in them, but
also their crews may be warned against the
harbouring deserters from the navy, in any
circumkances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will prevent
any disagreeable consequences. from ensuing
to themselves.
