A PROCLAMATION.
THE Neoffit, of a seasonable and ample Supply of
FUEL, for the Use of his Maj^y’s Troops,
obliges mt however reludbn to cal on :he Inhabitants
of Long-Island, to furnifh a Proportion of Wood for the
Barrack-Yard in New-York, fevered Plans have beer
successively adopted; but without their Affitlance a fu;~
ficrent Quantity to guard agrind the Severities of aEng
Winter cannot be procured; and I flatter raylelf, they
will the mort cheerfully comply with the Requisition, a$
the Burthen, if aw vih be equally borne, and the In
jury that mul lunavoidably befal Individuals, from an
unforeseen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of King's is therefore required to get
1500 Cor/c ; Quest's Ciunty 4500 ; arid the Wefterh
Part of Suffolk (including Huntington, Blip, Smith-
Town, and Drool have J gnoo Cords, ready cut and
horded by the 15th of August enfuinfo
And that the Distribution may be equally made and all
WafteavidN, the Civil and Military Officers of each
County wii meet, on Saturday the 2 sth lrft< at Fiat-
Butb, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and assess on each
Diftria, a proportionate Part of the Quantity demanded.
The Officers in the Diftri& will then direst the Farmers
each to cut' his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
,-ff flee; rd on Notice bring given, will muller the
Tearas of the Neighbourhood, and cart the Wood to such
Landing as (hall be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to ? e by them surveyed in the P<dfence of the
Barrack Offi er who will give a Certificate on the Spot
for the Nai ,er of Cords, to the Proprietor at the Rate
es Thirty Shillings per Cord for Walnut, and Tavern, for
Oze ; ^nd also for the Cartage, at the Rate of Four
SbiLinp a Cord per Mile. The Teams so employed wiil
be folly protested, ana the Certificates punctually paid.
The Foregoing Regulations not being adapted to the
Situation of the eastern Part of Suffolk ; the Inhabitants
ui $ upheld; Southampton, and East Hampton, are rc
qu#edt cut in the Wood Lands late belonging to Wil
ham rimth, and Wiliam Floyd of Did County (now
out in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearest to the
Landing by Maftick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by thefirft of September. On due Information be
ini given, they will cart the fame, qnd attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when furve,ed on
toe Water fide, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
^bulisp per Cord, for cutting and carting as abve men
tioned,
These Order rang calculated at once to provide for the
Arm,, and to give every Security to the Farmer agrinft
others interfering wth his Property ; he will be left
without Excuse it by a criminal Negleft he does not
avail himferi 9' the advantageous Offers held out to him,
and must xpedt to fuffer all the Evils cahfequent on his
Disobedience.

THE Commander in Caief having given en
couragement to the Farmers on the island, to
repair their fences, and protested them againtt tres
passes, it is become expedient, for the easy recovery
of damages from their neighbours, that the regula
tions formerly in use be again revived.
Il is therefore directed, that the rules last eftab
lifted by a majority of the freeholders in each
townftlip, for making, maintaining, and amending
their partition and circular fences, as well as those
for imp ending all manner of cattle or creatures,
be in future obfei ved until they (hall by a like ma
jority be altered ; and the alterations, entered on
the town register, to he 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 t>een cus
tomary) who are requited to a&, under the penalty
of five pou ds, which will be levied for the use of
the poor, on information given to the Police of such
refund, and other perfous appointed to a& in their
