CHARLES PORTER,  
THO: CONINGESBY.    
WHereas Their Majesties by Their Royal Proclamation, Dated at Their Camp by Dublin the Tenth day of July, 1690. In the Second Year of Their Majesties Reign, for the Reasons therein mentioned, did think fit to reduce certain Coins of Brass, Copper and mixed Mettal, which formerly were used in this Kingdom, and imposed upon the People at vast Rates, beyond and above the intrinsic Value, to the several Rates in the said Proclamation mentioned, and did Ordain that the said Coins and Pieces should be deemed and taken as Current Moneys in all payments at the several Rates therein contained. Now forasmuch as it is found by Experience, that the Irish who are in Rebellion against Their Majesties, and have in their Possession the whole or the far greater part of the said Coin, do begin by secret and cunning ways to bring in the said Coin into those Parts of this Kingdom under Their Majesties Obedience, wherewith they or their Agents not only furnish Their Majesties Enemies with divers Goods, Provisions and Commodities for supplying their Wants and Necessities; which they could not any other ways obtain but by this means, will bring such vast Quantities of the said Coin amongst Their Majesties good Subjects, as in the end will turn to Their Majesties great damage. We therefore taking the premises into Our Consideration, for providing a Remedy against this growing Evil, have thought fit hereby to Order, Publish and Declare, that from and after the Six and Twentieth day of this Instant February, none of the said Pieces or coins in the said Proclamation mentioned, shall be Currant, or used in any Payments between any Persons whatsoever; Nor shall any of Their Majesties Loving Subjects be Compelled to take or Receive the same as Money at any Rate or Price whatsoever.  
Given at the Council-Chamber in Dublin, the 23th Day of February, 1690. And in Third Year of their Majesties Reign.
