WHEREAS it appears by Examinations red at this Board, that Dennis Morisy alias Trory, Teige Leaghy, John Barry, Francis Power, John Scoley alias Fouloe, John Gerald, and John Scoley alias bailiff have of late committed several Burglaries, Robberies and Stealths in several parts within this Kingdom, besides divers other Outrages, to the Terror and Annoyance of his Majesties Loyal and Good Subjects, and to the disturbance of the Peace of the Kingdom: Vpon which misdemeanours and Crimes, being pursued by some of His Majesties Good Subjects, they the aforesaid Persons are fled to the Woods and Mountains, where they stand upon their keeping, so as they are not Answerable or Ameasnable to Law, but wilful Contemners of the same. And forasmuch as the Actors of these Disorders and Offences cannot as yet be Apprehended, whereby they may be punished by the Ordinary course of Law, whence we may justly be moved according to the former usage and Custom in this Kingdom in cases of like nature, to cause them to be forthwith Proclaimed Rebels and Traytors: yet in mercy to them, We think fit hereby to Charge and command them upon their Duty and Allegiance to His Majesty, that they and every of them do before the fifteenth day of March next render their persons to any of His Majesties Iustices of the Peace, and submit themselves to His Majesties Iustice to be Tried for their Offences according to the Laws of the Land: Wherein if they or any of them do fail, We do hereby Publish and declare, that he or they so failing are from and immediately after the said fifteenth Day of March next, to be called, reputed, and taken for Notorious Rebels and Traytors against His Majesty, and accordingly to be Prosecuted by all His Majesties Loving and Good Subjects in all Hostile manner. And we declare further, that whatsoever persons or persons shall comfort, relive, or abet them, or any of them, they are and shall be reputed, deemed, and adjudged Traytors in like degree with the forenamed Rebels and Traytors themselves, and to be proceeded against according to Law. And We do in His Majesties name straightly charge and command all His Majesties 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, apprehended 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 Costody, till We, upon notice thereof shall give further Direction concerning them; or resisting or refusing to be taken, to kill them or any of them. And We do hereby declare, that whosoever shall, after the said fifteenth day of March next, bring unto any Sheriff the Body of the said Dennis Morisy alias Trory, Teige Leaghy, John Barry, Francis Power, John Scoley alias Fouloe, John Gerald, and John Scoley alias bailiff, or any 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 person so brought in, or his Head, Ten Pounds; for Payment whereof We will give Warrant as occasion shall require: And whosoever of the said proclaimed persons, or any other, shall, after the said fifteenth day of March next, apprehended and bring unto the High Sheriff of the County where such person shall be apprehended, or resisting shall kill any of the said Rebels and Traytors particularly name as aforesaid, he shall, together with his said Reward, receive his Pardon for that Fact, or any other( murder only excepted): And towards the speedy effecting of this Service, all Commanders of Horse and Foot and all other His Majesties Officers and loving Subjects are to be aiding and assisting, as they and every of them will answer the contrary at their peril.
