THeir Majesties Army being now ordered into their Winter-Quarters in several parts of this Kingdom, to the end the Officers and Soldiers may be regularly and indifferently Quartered, with the least inconvenience and partiality that is possible and that the Country may be preserved from Rapine and Violence, and the Army provided with necessary Sub­sistence at reasonable Rates. We do hereby Order, Publish and declare that the Quarters of all Officers and Soldiers, appointed to be in any County of this Kingdom, shall be settled and applotted by the Colo­nell or Commander in Chief of such Regiment as shall be assigned to Quarter in such County the Governour of the said County or his Deputy or Deputies, in his absence and the high Sheriff, And that no Officer or Soldier shall be Quartered in any other place then such as shall be appointed for them as afore­said, and that all and every their Majesties Subjects, in the said Counties re­spectively, shall provide Dyet for all such Officers and Soldiers as shall be Quartered upon them at the Rates and Prices hereunto Annexed, and shall provide all other provisions, the particulars whereof are in the Annexed List set down at the several Rates and Prices therein mention'd and expressed for which Dyet and other things so to be provided for them the said Soldiers shall pay at the end of every Week in case they are paid their Subsistence money, or if the same shall not be paid them, then the Officer or Commander in Chief of such Officer or Soldier are hereby required, at the end of every Week to signe such Bills, acknowledging what Provisions and Dyet such Officer and Soldier have had according to the Rates aforesaid, and upon producing such Bills so signed at the Office of the Commissioners of Accounts in Dublin, effectual care shall be taken for the satisfaction thereof. And to prevent abuses which have been here­tofore committed by some Officers and Soldiers in requiring more Hay and Oats then is necessary for their Horses, and makeing sale thereof, to others thereby oppressing and impoverishing the Country. We do hereby Order Publish and declare that no Person upon whom such Officers and Soldiers shall be Quar­tered shall be obliged to furnish any one Trooper or Dragoon more then after the quantity of Twenty pound of Hay and sufficient Straw for litter, and out peck of Oats for one day and so in proportion for a longer time, and where a Magazeen is laid in by the King, of Hay and Oats, and Horse Quartered in that Garrison, they shall take all their Forrage from the said Stores and if Quar­tered in the Neighbourhood at any convenient distance, the Countrey shall finde them carriage for their Oats from the Stores to their Quarters, and of Hay too if the distance is not too unreasonable to expect it or it can't be done but with [Page] prejudice to the Hay, Whereof all Officers Soldiers and others whom it may concern are to take notice and to give all due obedience and observance to these Our Orders and Directions and to take care that they live peaceably, quietly, and inoffencively in their Quarters, without doing any wrong or violence to the Inhabitants, either in their body or goods as they will answer the contrary at their Peril.
