Whereas to post placards omitting the (writers') names is a violation of the law; and whereas we have now heard that there are vagabonds in the public streets within and without the suburb of the city who, gathering what is related as to native and foreign affairs, manufacture false rumours and post placards in the streets, whereby falsehood is made to appear as truth, and truth is perverted into falsehood, 30 much s0, that it has produced a great effect upon the public mind. In addition to the order issued to the police to arrest (those vagabonds) we deem it right to issue this proclamation to people of all classes, ex-borting them to attend to their duty, not exaggerate anything that has happened, or invent rumours and post placards in the streets relative to native and foreign affairs. If they still have the audacity to retrace their former (wicked) course, they will be visited with the most severe punishments according to law, when arrested. We have algo ordered tepaus and constables to make inquiry every day, to tear off all placards relative to native and foreign affairs immediately, and arrest the acord posters, and bring them to justice. and let all of you obey and not neglect it.—none be remiss (in attending to this order) (Daily Press.)
