However, since these ordinances which were published long ago may no longer be remembered by the authorities, these are announced to the local-authorities (‘Kreisämter’) for re-publication herewith to save the authorities of any harm/loss.” [Researcher’s note: This prohibition was made public in Bohemia on April 26, 1787.]
