Indians, do take out a licence for carrying on
such trade, from the governor or commander in chief of any of our
colonies respectively, where such person shall reside, and also the
security to observe such regulations as we shall at any time think fit,
by ourselves or commissaries, to be appointed for this purpose, to
direct and appoint for the benefit of the said trade: and we do hereby
authorise, enjoin, and require the governors and commanders in chief of
all our colonies respectively, as well those under our immediate
government, as those under the government and direction of
proprietaries, to grant such licences without fee or reward, taking
especial care to insert therein a condition that such licence shall be
void, and the security forfeited, in case the person to whom the same
is granted, shall refuse or neglect to observe such regulations as we
shall think proper to prescribe as aforesaid.

And we do further expressly enjoin and require all officers whatever,
as well military as those employed in the management and direction of
Indian affairs within the territories reserved, as aforesaid, for the
use of the said Indians, to seize and apprehend all persons whatever,
who standing charged with treasons, misprisions of treasons, murders,
or other felonies or misdemeanours, shall fly from justice and take
refuge in the said territory, and to send them under a proper guard to
the colony where the crime was committed of which they shall stand
accused, in order to take their trial for the same.

Given at our court at St. James's, the 7th of October 1763, in the
third year of our reign.

GOD save the KING.
