Proclamation,  

By HIS EXCELLENCY PHILIP GIDLEY  

KING, Esquire, Captain General and Governor

in Chief in and over His Majesty's   Territory of New South Wales     and its Dependencies, &c. &c. &c.

WHEREAS I have judged it expedient and    

admissible, in consequence of a Communication   from His Majesty's Principal     Secretary of State for the Colonies and War   Department, to Grant unto the Reverend Mr.

DIXON a Conditional Emancipation, to enable   him to Exercise his Clerical Functions as   a Roman Catholic Priest, which he has qualified    himself for by the regular and exemplary  

Conduct he has manifested since his residence  

in this Colony, and his having taken   the Oaths of Allegiance, Abjuration, and   Declaration, prescribed by Law.

Which Permission shall remain in full

Force and Effect, so long as he, the said Rev. Mr. Dixon (and no other Priest), shall strictly adhere to the Rules and Regulations which he has this day bound himself by Oath   to observe, as well as all other Regulations which may hereafter be made thereon by His Majesty's Governor of this Territory for the Time being ; and in case of any deviation therefrom by the said Reverend Mr. Dixon, or any of his Congregation, it will remain with the Governor of this Territory to suspend   such Religious Assemblies, and to deal     with the Offenders according to Law.  

Given under my Hand and Seal, at

Government House, Sydney, in New South Wales, this 19th Day of April, 1803, and in the 43d Year of His Majesty's Reign. (Signed)    

PHILIP GIDLEY KING.

To His Majesty's Justices, assigned

to keep the Peace, and to all Others His Majesty's Subjects whom it may Concern.

GOD SAVE THE KING !
