Caution to Housekeepers and Others.

ALIENS.

Whereas it appears that many

Aliens have arrived and are actually residing

in this Kingdom, without having obtained a Licence

from the Alien Office, as required by Law: Notice is here-

by given, that it is provided by the Act of the 43rd of His

present Majesty, That every Person who shall receive

into his or her House or Apartment for the Purpose of

lodging or residing any Alien, shall require such Alien to

produce his Licence, and shall within 24 Hours after

such Alien shall have come to reside in such

House or Apartment, deliver a Copy of such Licence to any Jus-

tice of the Peace or Constable residing in or near the

Parish where such House or Apartment shall be situate:

And also, to the Overseers of the Poor of such Parish;

and shall deliver a Notice that such Alien did come to

reside or lodge in such House or Apartment, on a Day

in such Notice to be specified: And in Default of com-

pliance with the foregoing Provisions, every Person so

offending, shall forfeit and lose a Sum not exceeding

TEN POUNDS.

Such Penalty, therefore, will certainly be inflicted on

all Persons who shall be guilty of a Breach of the said

Act after this Public Notice.

 

                      By Order of the Magistrates,

                                  SAMUEL YARDLEY, Chief Clerk

                                                          J.Downes, Printer, Strand, London.
