HIS Majesty having thought it expedient to Issue a new Procla-

orderly Practices; and his Majesty's Pleasure having been signified

Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State. That the most early Op-
portunity should be taken to convene the Magistrates of this
County, in order to their pursuing the most effectual Methods
for putting the Laws in Execution, and for the prevention of
such dangerous Offences. In obedience to his Majesty's Commands,

day the 20th Day of this Instant June, at One o' Clock, where the
