proclamation, practice. the declaration made by the cryer, by authority of 
the court, that something is about to be done. 
     2. it usually commences with the french word oyez, do you hear, in 
order to attract attention; it is particularly used on the meeting or 
opening of the court, and at its adjournment; it is also frequently employed 
to discharge persons who have been accused of crimes or misdemeanors. 

[5] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

proclamation, evidence. the act of causing some state matters to be 
published or made generally known. a written or printed document in which 
are contained such matters, issued by proper authority; as the president's 
proclamation, the governor's, the mayor's proclamation. the word 
proclamation is also used to express the public nomination made of any one 
to a high office; as, such a prince was proclaimed emperor. 
     2. the president's proclamation has not the force of law, unless when 
authorized by congress; as if congress were to pass an act, which should 
take effect upon the happening of a contingent event, which was to be 
declared by the president by proclamation to hive happened; in this case the 
proclamation would give the act the force of law, which, till then, it 
wanted. how far a proclamation is evidence of facts, see bac. ab. ev. f;
