HAVING SEEN the Remonstrance of the Procureur du Roi, and ruling on it, we forbid each and every one of the Settlers of this Town to have their nègres or négresses, or other enslaved people, whipped in the street and public way, saving that they may correct and discipline them in their houses and yards, as they see fit, and in conformity with the Ordinances; the whole on pain of a fine. We command the Inspectors of Police, &c.
