FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING.

BY THE- QUEEN-A PROCLAMATION.

For the Encouragement of Piety and Virtue, and for the
preventing and punishing of Vice, Profaneness, and
Immorality.
VICTORIA R.—We most seriously and religiously con-
siderinc, that it is our indispensable duty to be careful
above all other things, to preserve and advance the honour
and service of Almighty God, and to discourage and sup-
press all vice, profaneness, debauchery, and immorality,
which are so highly displeasing to God, and so great a re-
proach to our religion and Government : To the intent
therefore, that religion, piety, and good manners may
flourish and increase under our administration and govern-
ment, we have thought lit, by the advice of our Privy
Council, to issue this our Royal Proclamation, and do hereby
declare our royal purpose and resolution to discountenance
and punish all manner of vice, profaneness, and
immorality, in all persons of whatsoever degree
or quality within this our realm : And we do
expect and require, that all persons of honour, or
in place of authority, will give good example by
their own virtue and piety, and to their utmost contribute
to the discountenancing persons of dissolute and immoral
lives : and we do hereby strictly enjoin and prohibit all
our loving subjects, of what degree or quality soever, from
playing, on the Lord's Day, at dice, cards, or any other
game whatsoever, either in public or private houses, or
other place or places whatsoever : and we do hereby re-
quire and command them, and every of them, decently
and reverently to attend the worship of God on every
Lord's Day. Our further pleasure is, and we do hereby
strictly charge and command all our judges, mayors, she-
riffs, justices of the peace, and all other our officers and
Ministers, both ecclesiastical and civil, and all other our
subjects whom it may concern, to be very vigilant and strict
in the discovery ar d the effectual prosecution and punish-
ment of all persons who shall be guilty of dissolute, immo-
ral, or disorderly practices ; and that they take care also effec-
tually to suppress all public gaming houses and places, and
lewd and other disorderly houses ; and also to suppress and
prevent all gaming whatsoever, in public or private houses,
on the Lord's-day; and likewise that they take effectual
care to prevent all persons keeping taverns, or other public
houses whatsoever, from selling wine, beer, or other
liquors, or receiving or permitting guests to be or re-
main in such their houses, in the time of Divine ser-
vice on the Lord's-day. And for the more eff ctual
proceeding herein, we do hereby direct and command
all our judges of assize and justices of the
peace to give strict charges at their respective
assizes and sessions, for the due prosecution and punish-
ment of all persons that shall presume to offend in any of
the kinds aforesaid ; and also of all persons that, contrary
to their duty, shall be remiss or negligent in putting the
said laws in execution; and that they do, at their respective
assizes and quarter sessions of the peace, cause this our
Royal Proclamation to be publicly read in open court im-
mediately before the charge is given.
Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace, this ninth
day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty.
