sequences, not only to the Peace of this Province, but also in
the Example which may be thereby given to any other of his
Majestys Subjects daring to refuse Subjection to the Govern-
ment in which they live and reside
And his Excellency having also informed this Board of the
Commands he was pleased so prudently to give to the Sheriff
and to several of the Officers and Militia of Baltimore County
to assist the said Sheriff in the Execution of his Duty in dis-
couraging such unjustifiable Attempts and enforce the Submis-
sion of those disorderly Persons, as well by apprehending their
Bodies, as by levying the Taxes due from them to this Govern-
ment, which wise Caution not having as yet had the desired
Effect, by Reason that many of the Inhabitants under the
Government of Pensilvania in a most tumultuous Manner
came over into Baltimore County and avowedly received and
kept under their Protection those Persons who had so boldly
offended against the Peace of this Government, and the Good
Rule and Order of all Civil Societies
And as it appears to this Board by a Proclamation issued by
the President and Council of Pensilvania that the Government
of that Province not only avows and countenances those out-
rageous and unwarrantable Attempts, but even has thought
fit to order and encourage the apprehending any of the Inhabi-
tants of this Province who acted the Part of dutiful Subjects to
his Majesty, and faithful Tenants to his Lordship in their
Endeavours to suppress those insolent Disturbers of Peace
and Government
And this Board having received Proof upon Oath that not
only his Lordships Character has been most vilely and scan-
dalously traduced, but also the Great Authority of his Majestys
high Court of Chancery, and even the most sacred Name of
Majesty it self have been in a most impudent and presumptu-
ous Manner made Use of to give a Sanction to their Expecta-
tions of seducing the Inhabitants of this Province from their
Submission to this Government.
Therefore it is advised resolved and ordered that a Procla-
mation or Proclamations issue for the apprehending all who
have acted countenanced or abetted the Actors in any of the
Matters afd And that a Reward of One hundred Pounds be
offered for apprehending Each of the following Persons Viz.
Samuel Smith Edward Smoute Samuel Blunstone and John
Wright; And a Reward of Twenty Pounds for apprehending
Each of the following Persons Viz. Michael Tanner Christian
Crowle Mark Evans Charles Jones and Joshua Minshul; And
a Reward of Ten Pounds for apprehending Each of the follow-
ing Persons Viz. Jacob Grable Jacob Seglaer Conrade Lowe
Christian Lowe Jacob Seglaer junr Michael Arringall Philip
