A PROCLAMATION.

VICTORIA IL—Whereas by the act of parliament,
passed in the tenth year of the reign of his late Majesty
King George the Fourth, for the relief of his Majesty's
Roman catholic subjects, it is enacted, that no Roman
catholic ecclesiastic, nor any member of any of the religious
orders, communities, or soc Hies of the Church of Rome,
bound by monastic or religious vows, should exercise any
of the rites or ceremonies of the Roman catholic roligi,n, or
wear the habits of his order, save within the usual places of
worship :of the Roman catholic religion, or in private
houses; and whereas it has been represented to us, that
Roman catholic ecclesiastics, wearing the habits of their
orders, have exercised the rites and ceremonies of the Ro-
man catholic religion in highways and places of public re-
sort, with many persons in ceremonial dresses, bearing
banners and objects. or symbols of their worship,
in procession, to the great scandal and annoyance of
large numbers of our people, and to the manifest danger of
the public peace. And whereas it has been represented to
us that such violation of the law has been committed near
places of public worship during the time of divine service,
and in such a manner as to disturb the congregations as-
sembled therein; we have, therefore, thought it our
bounden duty, by and with the advice of our privy council,
to issue this our royal proclamation, solemnly warning all
those whom it may concern, that, whilst we are resolved
to protect our Roman catholic subjects in the undisturbed
enjoyment of their legal rights and religious freedom, we
are determined to prevent and repress the commission of
all such offenoes as aforesaid, whereby the offenders may
draw upon themselves the punishments attending the viola-
tion of the laws, and the peace and security of our do-
minions may be endangered.
Given at our court, at Buckingham Palace, this 15th day
of June, in the yeas of our Lord, 1852, and in the 15th
year of our reign.—God save the Queen.
