Proclamation. [heading]

The Honble: Court of Policy of the Colonies aforesaid, &c. &c.
Unto all whom these presents do, may or shall concern, Be it known:
That on a re-consideration of the Proclamation issued in the name of this Court on the 12th day of November last, for granting a certain Colonial Bounty of British Salted Fish, - We have Resolved in Our present Extraordinary Session, and it is hereby Proclaimed accordingly, that the aforesaid Bounties can only be understood to be Payable on such Salted or Pickled Fish as is directly imported from Great Britain or from any of the British Settlements in North America, and not on such Fish of that description as may be imported from elsewhere, unless it be accompanied with a Certificate of the Principal Officers of the Custom-House of the Port whence it was last imported, stating the same to be British caught and cured Fish, and that no Bounty has already been Paid upon it.
And it is further made known by these presents, that agreeable to an arrangement made with the Collector of His Majesty's Customs in this Colony, the Colonial Duty on Wines and the Tax of Four per Cent on the invoices of Goods or Merchandize Sold by Transient Traders, both established by the Ordinance published on the 19th of November last, are in future, untill further order, to be received in behalf of the Colony, by the Collector of the Customs aforesaid, who has been authorised to demand the same, - and all Persons whom it doth or shall concern will take Notice hereof accordingly.
Thus Resolved at Our Extraordinary Sessions held at the Court-House in the Town of Stabroek in Demerary, on the 19th November and the 5th December 1808, and Published the 10th December next thereto following.

By His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Ross, Acting Lieut. Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependent Districts, President in all Courts and Colleges within the same, &c. &c. &c. and
The Honble: Court of Policy of the said Colonies.
Unto all whom these presents do, may or shall concern, Be it known:
Whereas it has been represented to Us that notwithstanding it is established by Law that no other Weights are to be used in these Colonies but Dutch Weights, great injury is sustained by the Planters and others in consequence of the requisites of the Law in this respect not being duly complied with.
We have therefore thought fit to issue this Our Proclamation in order to remind all Persons whom it may concern, that according to an Ordinance enacted by this Court on the 31st January 1797, and Published on the 1st March of the same Year, it is enacted that every Person who shall be found to have Sold Goods by any other than Dutch Weights, approved of and stamped as such by the Public Assayer of Weights and Measures (which situation is at present filled by G. S. Martens) shall be liable, for every offence, to Pay a Fine of One Hundred Guilders, which Penalty We have ordered to be strictly enforced against all Defaulters who shall be found so to offend after the expiration of a space of Two Months from the date of the Publication of these presents.
And in case of the warning hereby given proving ineffectual in causing the Ordinance above-mentioned to be duly attended to for the future, the Court reserves to itself to adopt such other measures as circumstance shall appear to require.
Thus resolved at Our Ordinary Session held in the Town of Stabroek in Demerary, on the 4th November 1808, and Published the 10th December next thereto following.

By His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Ross, Acting Lieut. Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependencies, President in all Courts and Colleges &c. &c. and
The Honble. Court of Policy of the said Colonies, &c. &c.
To all whom these presents may or shall concern, Greeting, be it known:
Whereas it is necessary again to furnish the Government Chest with Funds to make good the different annual Payments that must be defrayed from it for carrying on the Public Service.
We therefore, on His Excellency the Governor's proposition, have resolved to levy, and hereby do levy, the Capitation Tax due for the Year 1807, to be Paid by each and every Slave holder, agreeable to the established mode and in the same manner as the Tax last raised for the Year 1806, viz: at the Rate of Three Guilders ten stivers respectively for each and every Working Male or Female Slave past 12 Years of Age and of One Guilder for all Children from 3 to 12 Years.
It is also ordered in conformity to the system established by the existing Ordinances of Taxing House Slaves at a higher rate, that all Persons Possessing Three Male or Female House or Domestic Slaves or less, shall Pay for each of them the Sum of Six Guilders.
Those Possessing Four, a Sum of Ten Guilders as above.
Those Possessing Five, a Sum of Fifteen Guilders as above.
Those Possessing Six, a Sum of Twenty Guilders as above.
Those Possessing Seven, a Sum of Twenty-five Guilders as above.
Those Possessing Eight, a Sum of Thirty Guilders as above.
Those Possessing Nine and upwards, a rate of Forty Guilders as above.
From which encreased rate of Head Money respecting House or Domestic Slaves, are however to be exempted all Planters residing on their Estates, also the Governor to the number of 20 Domestic Slaves, the Members of the respective Courts, the Secretaries of the Courts, the Receivers of the Government and Colony Chests, and the Vendue Masters, to the number of six House Slaves, and all other Persons in Public Employments, who are obliged to reside in the chief Towns or their Precincts, to that of Four Domesticks.
Tradesmen are to Pay for each Slave they Employ in their respective Arts or Trades, Seven Guilders.
All free Women of Colour shall Pay for their own Persons a sum of Ten Guilders: - the other Regulations respecting free Men of Colour to remain in force as established by other Ordinances in this behalf.
And in order the collecting of the necessary returns and the Payment of the said Head Money may be completed in a regular manner, We do hereby order and direct as follows:-
That all Planters in these Colonies, whether Proprietors or Attornies, shall give in before the 1st of May 1809, exact returns, subscribed by them under a tender of Oath, of the Slaves on each Plantation belonging to them or under their Administration, according to the number of the said Slaves up to the 31st December 1807, which particulars are to be given in as pointed out in the return, a form of which is printed at the foot of the present publication, and whereof blanks will be left besides at the respective Receiver's Offices, to be filled up by those it may concern.
That further such of the Inhabitants as, tho' residents on, are not Proprietors of any Estates, and also those residing in the respective Towns or their Precincts, or in any other place in the Colonies not being a Plantation, shall likewise be obliged to give in exact returns under a tender of Oath, of his, her or their Male or Female Slaves, Domesticks, Handicraft and other Slaves agreeable to the second form printed at the foot of the present publication, and blanks of which may also be had at the respective Receivers' Offices.
The different returns before-mentioned are to be filled up with the utmost accuracy, so as distinctly to state the number of Slaves of each description therein mentioned, as well as the general number of Slaves on each Plantation in the Year 1807.
It is further ordered that Payment of the said Capitation Tax for the Year 1807 shall be made before the 1st of May 1809, at the same time of giving in the returns herein before required, either in Cash, Bills of Exchange to the satisfaction of the Receivers, or in approved Claims against the Government Chest.
It is also ordered that the respective Receivers of the Government Chest shall, for the purpose of receiving the different Returns and Payments herein before respectively required, give attendance at their respective Offices from the date hereof, every day in the Week, (Saturdays, Sundays and Holydays excepted,) from 9 o'Clock in the Morning till 1 o'Clock in the Afternoon; the whole on pain that those who shall be faultive in giving in returns and in making payments in the manner and at the time herein before directed and limited, shall, on the expiration of the said period, be charged or debited in the Books of the Receiver with a sum equal to the amount of the Capitation Tax which they may apppear to have paid for the Year 1806, with the addition of one-fourth or 25 per Centum of such amount which amount and additional Sum shall then, if necessary, be recoverable from the defaulters by Summary Execution.
Such Persons as may not be mentioned or occur at all in the former Books of the Receivers, and are faultive in giving in their returns in the manner herein before directed, shall immediately forfeit, independant [sic] of the Taxes, a penal sum of One hundred and Fifty Guilders, to be applied to the use of the Government Chest.
And that no ignorance may be pretended of what is herein before directed and required, these presents shall be Published, posted up, Printed and sent round for general information.
Thus done in Our Assembly held in the Town of Stabroek, Demerary, on the 4th of November 1808, and Published on the 10th of December next following.

PROCLAMATION. [heading]
G.R.
By His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Ross, Acting Lieutenant Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependent Districts, President of all Courts and Colleges within the same, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas at a Meeting of the Proprietors of Cumingsburg held at Marshall's Hotel on Saturday the 26th of November last, it appears by a Public advertisement in the News-Papers, that certain Resolutions were entered into, by a Majority of said Proprietors, wherein they have asserted Rights and Privileges which actually do not belong to them, namely, that of Taxing themselves &c. - and have given orders to their Commissaries to levy a particular Tax, without any legal sanction; And Whereas it has come to my knowledge, that, at the said Public Meeting, certain declarations were made by some of its Members tending to disseminate principles of opposition to the Authority of The Honourable The Court of Policy of these Colonies.
I do hereby make known to all concerned, my total disapprobation of the same, and Declare the said Resolutions of the Proprietors of Cumingsburg (as far as the relate to the Levying of Taxes upon those who are unwilling to pay) to be Null and Void, unless they are sanctioned in the usual manner.
And I do further make known and declare that I consider all such Meetings as the aforesaid, held without my leave first obtained, to be Illegal, and have therefore to desire that none such may be assembled within these Colonies, during my administration of this Government in future.
Given under my hand and the Seal of Government at the King's House Demerary this Eighth day of December, One thousand Eight hundred and Eight, and in the Forty-ninth Year of His Majesty's Reign.
Andrew Ross.
By His Excellency's Command,
