And We require all such persons so providing such Hay, Oats and Straw, and that are not paid for the same, to apply themselves to one of Our Secretaries for redress, and We shall take care that no wrong be to them done; of which We require all persons to take notice. And We do strictly Charge and Command, that none of Our Officers or Souldiers, or others, Horse or Dragoons, shall dare attempt to tread or spoil any Meadows, upon any pretence whatsoever.
