April 18. 1676.  
Whereas on Friday last, April 14th at Midnight, several Outrages were committed, by breaking the Windows, as well of Colleges, as private houses, in many places of this City; to the great disturbance of the Inhabitants, the scandal of Government, and breach of the Public Peace: This is therefore earnestly to request all persons, who wish well to the good Order and Peace of this University and City, that they would use the best means they can to bring to light the Authors of these misdemeanours. And whosoever shall discover to Me any one, or more, that were Actors or Accessories in the same, I do hereby oblige myself to conceal his name, and give him forty shillings for his Intelligence.  
RA. BATHURST Vicechancellor.
