CHARLES PORTER,  
THO: CONINGESBY.    
WHereas the practise of Carriers, in making Sutlers( following the Army) pay more than the Kings Rates, is of Evil Consequence, not only in raising the Prices of whatever they carry and vend in the Camp, but by depriving the Kings Service of the Necessary Carriages weekly required from hence: To prevent therefore the Inconveniencies that may arise to the prejudice of the Army, We think fit, and hereby Appoint and Command all Carriers whatsoever, as well such as make it their Trade and way of Living, as those who are Regularly Summoned by the proper Officers, in the City and Liberties of Dublin and Counties adjacent, to bring in their Horses and cars weekly, either on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays to Colledge-Green and Lazy-Hill, where they shall on the said days be loaden and paid the Rates Established, according to the practise hitherto in use; Our Intent and Meaning hereby being, that Respect be first had to the Kings Service, viz. The Commissary Generals of Provisions to be first supplied with Carriages, and then the Sutlers having occasion to hire. And that this Our Proclamation may the more effectually answer the End proposed, We hereby require as well the Officers Commanding the Guards at the Barriers of this City, as those that shall Command in Chief from time to time in any of the respective Garrisons from hence to the Army, that they suffer no Sutler to pass their Garrison that hath not a licence under the Hand of Our Chief Secretary, or who Officiates for him, and thereon likewise the Allowance of the Commissary Generals of Provision, their Deputy or Deputies, Endorsed and Dated every journey at the time of the receipt of the said cars, and such Allowance to be without charge.  
And We further strictly charge and require all Carriers whatsoever, that they presume not to impose more then the Kings Rates for the carriage of any Goods to the Camp, in which case as often as they shall act contrary to these Orders, the Person so imposed upon shall pay nothing for such journey.  
And as We for the welfare of their Majesties service have required a due Obedience to the aforesaid Orders, so to do equal right to the Industrious that endeavour the constant Supply of the Army as Sutlers. We require all Officers and Soldiers in the Garrisons through which they shall pass upon the road, whatsoever, not to disturb or molest by taking any thing of the least value whatever from Sutlers qualified as aforesaid, but to be aiding and assisting to them in every thing, as they will Answer the contrary at their utmost Perils.  
Given at Their Majesties Castle of Dublin, this 17th day of June, 1691. By the Lords-Justices Command. Isr. fielding.
