¶ A Proclamation for Fee Dear.  
WHereas We are informed, that there are sundry, that under pretence of their Offices, do challenge to have Fee Deer, both in Summer and Winter, out of Our Forests, Chases, and Parks, and upon that pretext, not grounded in Law, they send their Warrants, as if Dear were due to them: For that We are satisfied by Our learned Counsel, and otherwise, that there is no such right belonging to any Subject, but only to Our two justices of Oyer and Terminer of Our Forests, the one on this side Trent, and the other beyond; Therefore We do straight charge and command, aswell, that no person do presume to send any Warrant unto any Our Forests, Chases, and Parks, upon pretence of any such right, as also all Wardens, Lieutenants, or other Officers of Our Forests, Chases, and Parks, that they serve no Warrants of any, but only of Our said justices of Our Forests, Chases, and Parks, and of such as have right by being Lieutenants, or other principal Officers of the Forests, which of right have it by the allowance of the justices of Our Forests, according to the Law of the Forest; And if any shall either send or serve, contrary to this Our Declaration of Our Pleasure, We shall, as We have cause, make them feel Our displeasure.  
Given at Our Palace of White-Hall, the 26. of May, in the second year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
