ESSEX.  
WHEREAS Redmond O Hanlon of Tondergee in the County of Armagh yeoman, and several other persons named in a Proclamation issued from this Board, dated the 14th of December 1674. were for the reasons in the said Proclamation expressed, proclaimed Rebels and Traitors; And it was also by the said Proclamation declared, that whatsoever person or persons should comfort, relieve, or a bet the said Redmond O Hanlon, or the said other persons, should likewise be reputed, deemed and adjudged Traitors and Rebels, and be proceeded against according to Law. And whereas it appears by Certificate of several justices of the Peace of the County of Meath, that Patrick Fleming late of Siddan in the said County, hath been guilty of several felonies, and other misdemeanours, and that he keeps Company with the said Redmond O Hanlon and other lose persons, doing and watching opportunities to do mischief, not being to be apprehended by the ordinary Course of justice. We therefore by Proclamation dated the 23th of August 1676. thought fit thereby to Charge and Command the said Patrick Fleming upon his allegiance, and duty to His Majesty, that he should before the 26th day of September last, render his person to the Lord Chief justice, or any other the justices of the King's Bench in Ireland, and submit himself to His Majesty's justice, to be tried for his Offences according to Law, and thereof he was not to fail at his peril. And whereas the said Patrick Fleming hath failed to appear accordingly: and he and the said Redmond O Hanlon with other malefactors, are fled to the woods and mountains where they stand upon their keeping, so as they are not answerable or ameasonable to the Law, but wilful contemners of the same, and cannot as yet be apprehended, whereby they may be punished according to the Ordinary course of Law. We therefore do hereby Declare, that they the said Patrick Fleming and Redmond O Hanlon, shall henceforth be called, reputed and taken for notorious Rebels and Traitors against His Majesty, and accordingly to be prosecuted by all His Majesties loving and good Subjects in all hostile manner. And we further declare, that whatsoever person or persons shall comfort, relieve or abet them, or either of them, they are and shall be reputed, deemed and adjudged Traitors in like degree with the forenamed Traitors and Rebels themselves, and to be proceeded against according to Law. And we do in His Majesty's name straightly Charge and Command all his Majesty's loyal Subjects upon their duty of allegiance to His Majesty, not only to forbear to receive or relieve the persons aforesaid, or any of them, but also to make diligent search and enquiry in what place or places the said persons shall from time to time lurk or be relieved, and by all means possible to prosecute, apprehend and take the bodies of them, and them to bring or cause to be brought under safe custody unto the high Sheriff of the respective Counties, where any of them shall be apprehended, to be by such Sheriffs kept in strict and safe custody, until we upon notice thereof shall give further direction concerning them; or resisting or refusing to be taken, to kill them or either of them; And we do hereby publicquely declare, that whosoever shall bring unto any Sheriff, the bodies of the said Redmond O Hanlon and Patrick Fleming, or either of them alive, or kill any of them and bring His Head to the Sheriff of the County where he shall be killed, to be by such Sheriff set up in some public place in that County, shall have for his reward for each of them so brought in or his Head, Twenty pounds for payment, whereof we will give sufficient warrant as occasion shall require, and will take care that the same shall be Immediately paid accordingly, And towards the speedy effecting of this service, all Commanders of Horse and Foot, and all other His Majesty's Officers and loving subjects are to be aiding and assisting, as they and every of them will answer the contrary at their peril. Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin the 16th day of October 1676.
