WHOEVER shall apprehend any of the above Deserters, so as they may be confin'd in any of the Goals in the New-England States, shall be paid 10 Dollars Reward for each, and all Charges—All Commanders of Privateers, Merchant Ships and others, are forbid to harbour, secrete or carry away the said Deserters; as they may depend on being prosecuted agreable to the Rosolutions of Congress for harbouring Deserters from the Continental Service—'Tis hoped that the Legislative Authority will do their Endeavour to apprehend and bring to Justice such villainous Offenders, who avail'd themselves of the Indulgence given them to see their friends, and basely deserted their Duty—Every Person discharg'd from the Raleigh, will have a Certificate sign'd by me,
Portsmouth, April 16th, 1778.
