A PROCLAMATION BY His Excellency the Lord General.  
WHereas information is given, that divers Soldiers of the Army have entered into the Houses of some Merchants, Citizens, and other inhabitants, in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, and there is an uncivil and disorderly manner exacting money and Victuals there, to their great injury, and the scandal of the Army, contrary to a Proclamation in that case formerly published; These are therefore to will and require all soldiers of the Army under my Command, upon pain of Death, that they do not enter into the Houses of any Merchant, Citizen, or others, in any forcible manner, or require of any persons any money, victuals, or other provisions, unless it be in the Houses of victuallers, or other places where victuals are sold, and in such cases they are to go in a civil and orderly manner, and duly to pay for what they call; And in case any soldier shall, notwithstanding this Proclamation, offend, or otherwise misdemean themselves, I do then hereby require the Officers of the next Guard, upon complaint made unto them, to apprehend and secure the soldiers so offending, and to bring them to Whitehall, together with the witnesses, that the offenders may be dealt withal as to Justice shall be thought fit.  
And whereas divers soldiers, and some persons, who go in the name and habit of soldiers, and pretend themselves to be of the Army, but are not, do seize upon persons who have been in Arms against the Parliament, and their goods, without order, (for the preventing of these and other abuses for the future,) I do further require all Officers and soldiers of the Army under my Commana, That they do not presume to enter into the houses of any persons whatsoever (Unless for provision as aforesaid) or to seize upon any persons whatsoever, unless they go by Warrant with a Commission Officer, and he and they give in their names of what Troop or Company, and in what Regiment they are, that so, if any abuse be offered, upon complaint from the person or persons so injured to the Court Martial, all offenders shall be proceeded against according to Justice.  
Given under my Hand and Seal in Queens-street the twelfth day of February, 1648. T. FAIRFAX.  
To be proclaimed by sound of Trumpet in the Cities of London and Westminster.
