❧ By the King.  
❧ A Proclamation for the due execution of Forrest Laws.  
FOr that great numbers of Dear both Red and Fallow, have been destroyed by the last great Frost and Snow, and those that remain and have escaped the hardness of weather, have been so weakened and surfeited by the extremity of cold, so as they will hardly hold out this next Winter; And therefore all good means is to be used to preserve and sustain them; whereof one principal is, that pawnage be not consumed and taken from them, nor that there be any surcharge or other wronging of the grounds, which may scant them of their feed: We do therefore straightly charge and command, that all the Laws and Ordinances of the Forest, concerning the restraint of Swine, and the ringing of them according to the Customs of the Forest, be striefly observed and put in execution, in all Our Forests, Chases and Parks whatsoever; Willing and commanding Our justices in Eyre on both sides Trent, Lieutenants, Rangers, Fosters, Verderours and Keepers, that they take care to see this Our Royal Commandment duly executed, and all other Our Subjects likewise to take notice of the same, That they do not offend therein; upon pain unto Our said Officers of loss of Office, and to every offender, of Imprisonment, and other punishment according to Our Laws in that behalf.  
Given at Theobalds', the sixteenth day of September, in the thirteenth year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland, and of Scotland the nine and fortieth.  
God save the King.
