In PROVINCIAL-CONGRESS,
New-fofa, Feh. 28, 1776.
An Ordinance to prevent performs deferring
places in danger of being attacked, and tot
retraining fuche s are dangerous to the com
mon cause, from taking refuge in this co
lony.
WHEREAS large numbers of people are
daily removing from the neighbour
ing colonies into New-Jersey, and it being un
known upon what principles such, removals are
occationed; whether it is to seek an asylum
from ministerial oppression, or the referitment of
their injured country, to whom they may have
become obnoxious, by adhering to the present
fyflem of tyranny now endeavouring to be exe
cuted in America; and it being incontinent
with the principles of persons properly attach
ed to the cause of liberty to desert their town
or country at a time their'affiftance may be ab
solutely necessary for its defence, unless the tup
port and maintenance of their families may
makeTuch removal neceflary. This Congress
do therefore think it advisable, that although
the inhabitants of this colony ought most cheer
fully to receive into their protection, and afford
all the relief, in their power, to all such as are
hclplefs and unable to defend themselves ; yet
they might to prevent the desertion of places in
immediate danger of an attack from the enemy,
by all who are proper to remain for the defence
thereof ; and allo to prevent persons inimical
to the liberties for which the united colonies
are contending, from taking refuge in thia
province : For remedy 'whereof, it is hereby
refolded, that all persons proper to bear arms,
who have removed or may remove into this co
lony from any city or county of another pro
vince in danger of being suddenly attacked,
do immediately return to' such city or province
to make that defence becoming every good
citizen who entertains a proper sense of the
worth of liberty, and who has a due retard
to his country's welfare ; unless such person
or persons Ihall produce licences or 'permits
from the committee of such city or county
from whence he or thty remove, to reside
in this colony ; or unless the residence of
such person in this colony may appear recef
fary for the support or his family, which may
be removed here for fafety ; or unless such
person or perfohs fiom the present Agnation
of business, may have no viable means of
support in the colony from whence he came,
and can procure such support by his induO
try in this colony. And the committees of
each and every count) and townihip in this
colony are direftod to carry the above resolve
into effect, and to cause all such persons, ex
cept as abxwefaid, to return to the city or
province from whence they came, after' giv
ing them a reasonable time to fettle their
families and tranfatt any business that may
appear neceffiry for the public good or their
families support.
And it is further refolded, That all fufpe&,
ed persons removing into this colony, frail
immediately return to the place they came
from ; unless their behaviour in this colony,
ihall render their detention, as delinquents,
proper; or unless such persons produce cer
tificates from the committee of the city, town
flip or county from whence they came, that
they have signed the' general affocintion recom
mended by the Continental or their Provincial
Congress ; and have not by any subsequent
ad, contravened the fame; or that they are
deemed to be well affected to the cause of
American freedom : Which <i resolve the re
fpe&ive committees abovefaid, ate also requeu
ed to carry into effect.
