 pecuniary straits induced him to levy on his Irish

 fief subsidies, similar to those extorted from English 
 landholders by his Royal Proclamations, These 
 entries further demonstrate that the assessment was 
 made on counties severally, and by a poundage on 
 each ploughland (or hundred) ; and that the rate- 
 able value of the county of Cork v/as, in 1622-23, 
 four times that of Waterford. 
 
 " The prince's ayde for marriadg " was prepara- 
 tory to his repairing to Madrid, as he did in the 
 month of February following, accompanied by the 
 Duke of Buckingham, to solicit the hand of the 
 Infanta. Full light is thrown upon the " Spanish 
 Marriage" in Dr. Gardiner's book, bearing that 
 title. The "ayde" for the Lady Elizabeth's 
 marriage had a retrospective character, i.e., to dis- 
 charge her dowry promised ten years previously. She 
 had married, 14 February, 1612-13, Frederick V., 
 Duke of Bavaria, Elector Palatine of the Rhine, 
 and King of Bohemia. It is noticeable that Kings' 
 daughters were, at this period, undistinguished from 
 the Nobles' daughters by their titles. This Prin- 
 cess before her marriage had a Company of Players, 
 who were styled " The Lady Elizabeth's Servants."

 Bawn — The ballium or bailey of an old castle 
 was the ground-plot inside the encircling walls. 
 Central generally was the 'donjon,' or keep, 
 forming the feudal lord's residence, with apartments 
 for the members of his family, his visitors, servants, 
 and personal guard. Near this would be often 
 found a Chapel, with a house for ecclesiastics. In 
 another portion of the bailey, the soldiers would 
 have their quarters ; and here also would exist 
 lodgings for workmen, stables, and other offices. 
 The most level part of the enclosure was customarily 
 reserved as a ' green ' for games and exercises. 
 The ' bawn ' of an Anglo-Irish castle was iden- 
 tical with the ballium, and may have derived its 
 name from it. Some Irish scholars, however, re- 
 gard the word as an anglicised form of the Irish 
 badhun, i.e., an enclosure for cows, a name occur-

 bawns may still be seen within the ruins of many

 give the district around its appellation. The town-

 derives its name from the bawn of Moydow Castle, 
 which remains in tolerable preservation with its 
 surrounding walls and flanking towers.

 reviews his services, Borlase, in his " Reduction 
 of Ireland," page 176, tells us that Queen Elizabeth 
 selected him, in 1595, to assist the Lord Deputy, 
 Sir William Russell, against Tyrone and the 
 Ulster rebels; that, contrary to the Deputy's 
 judgment, he made a truce with Tyrone, pre- 
 judicial (through the great rebel's deceit) to 
 English interests, and that he died of chagrin on 
 the failure of his negotiations. Spenser's sonnet 
 addressed to him is his most enduring memorial :

 was commonly called the Great Earl, being of 
 distinguished courage, loyalty, and worth. He 
 was highly esteemed by Queen Elizabeth and 
 James I., in whose courts he was brought up ; 
 and he was rewarded by them with honourable 
 employments, and large additions to his estate. 
 He was of the Privy Council to both Sovereigns. 
 He had a considerable share in the victory at 
 Kinsale, in 1601, over the Irish and Spaniards, as 
 it is set forth at large in " Pacata Hibernia." In 
 1602 the county of Clare was reunited, at his 
 request, to the province of Munster. His com- 
 mission of martial law was at the same time 
 renewed, with the continuance of his body-guard 
 of 200 men. He was also privileged by the Queen 
 to be constantly joined next to the President and 
 Chief Justice in all commissions of Oyer and 
 Terminer, Gaol Delivery, and determining of 
 civil causes. In 1604, 30 July, his Lordship 
 was made Constable of Carlow Castle. In 1605,

 Munster; and in 16 19, 17 May, he was made

 It is noticeable that the last two figures of the

 erected the tomb must have been ignorant of the 
 year of decease, or uncertain about it. The

 been always admired for their terseness and point ; 
 and furnish, in fact, an epigram, as well as an

 strong resemblance to those written by Ben

 several of the name of Crook are found in its 
 neighbourhood. Ibid, 'grippes' = drains. The 
 ' grip ' in Ireland is the trench next a fence, which 
 latter is incongruously called a ' ditch.' Later 
 (January 31st, 1624), Lord Cork returns to the 
 holding here mentioned, and in so doing describes 
 it as lying " without the gripp & walles of Yog- 
 hall." Did he mean to write ' Dripp ? ' The 
 fosse of the northern walls of Youghal was known 
 in his time as 'the Dreep' = the Drip, or Drain.

 burden of 800 tons, and bound from the Indies with 
 a rich lading, was seen in great distress off You- 
 ghal ; and the harbour being barred, it was doubtful 
 whether she could enter. John Griffin, a-fisher- 
 man, "engaged his life when none other did " (so 
 runs the record in the Town Book, A, p. 249), 
 "and became the pilot, and with God's help 
 brought her safe into this harbour." His guerdon 
 from the Municipality was " to be free of watch 
 and ward during his life, and to be accounted a 
 sufficient pilot thenceforward." Simon Jansen 
 Van Vaerdt, captain of " The Pearl," gave j^ioo

 Denmark's subjects shall be hereafter here in this

 of "The Pearl" to save him from breaking bulk and 
 selling his goods at an undervalue ; and he received 
 from the Danish monarch [Christian IV.] an 
 autograph letter of thanks and a chain of gold 
 with his Majesty's picture suspended from it. See 
 June 26, 1620. "The Pearl" lay in the harbour 
 for 13 months, and on leaving, the Mayor, 
 Bailiffs, and municipal body gave a certificate in 
 Latin of all that had happened, acknowledging the 
 gift of ^100 by them received, and covenanting

 3 Caroli I. prima pars facie R. 13, 15. The 
 cause for which the King commanded his Lord- 
 ship's repair into England, requiring a clear exami- 
 nation and a judicious solemn hearing, was for 
 some time retarded by other weighty affairs of 
 State, until the King, attended with his Privy 
 Council, took a full hearing at several times of 
 those informations, objections, and charges that 
 were laid against him, both concerning his sup- 
 posed undutiful behaviour towards his Majesty in 
 the business of raising money for his service in 
 Ireland, and his miscarriage in the execution of 
 the great place and charge he held for distribut- 
 ing justice and executing the office of Chancellor. 
 The first his Majesty thought fit to have ex- 
 amined in Ireland, to clear some varying allega- 
 tions that were made on both sides, and for that 
 purpose directed his commission to some persons of 
 quality and trust ; and to all the rest his Lordship 
 having made so full and direct answer as cleared 
 his innocency, and justified his proceedings to the 
 satisfection of the King and his Council in all the 
 parts of the charges that were urged against him, his 
 Majesty sent him to resume his office, and directed 
 the Lord Deputy presently upon his arrival to 
 cause the Great Seal to be delivered to him, and 
 that he be fully restored to the free execution of 
 his office of Chancellor. Southwicke,> i August,

 " And so often as I, the aforesaid David, or my

 course of travelling to the said Town., that then 
 I shall have or my heirs shall have one decent Bed

 of manners from the reign of James I. to that of 
 Victoria is herein strikingly illustrated. Hotel 
 accommodation in our own day is so ready and 
 pleasant, that we smile at the simple arrangements 
 of our forefathers. Yet traces of gone-by usages, 
 in the once universal custom of " going into 
 lodgings" subsisted until of late years. Twenty 
 years ago this economy was followed by the 
 landed gentry, and it had its pwn advantages. It 
 brought about kindly intercourse between different 
 grades of society, and knit together the different 
 members of the community, The Judges of the

 March, 1644-5. Ibid, "yrhh greyhounds" — This 
 noble species, the Cams grains Hibernicus, is be- 
 lieved to be extinct. When wolves abounded in 
 the isle, as they did even within the last century and 
 a half, these hounds were carefully bred and much 
 esteemed ; but with the extinction of their foes, 
 the wolves, they ceased to be propagated. Their 
 size was gigantic. BufFon (quoted by Scrope in 
 his " Art of Deer Stalking," p. 342), describes one 
 he had seen in France, " which appeared, when 
 sitting, to be about five feet high, and resembled 
 the Danish dog, but greatly exceeded him in 
 stature. He was totally white, and of a mild and 
 peaceable disposition." 
 
 Symmachus, a writer of the fourth century, in- 
 forms us that seven Irish hounds (Septem Scotii 
 Canes) were exhibited in the circus at Rome, hav- 
 ing been sent from Ireland in iron cages. He also 
 describes the admiration which they excited on 
 account of their size and strength. The Irish 
 wolf-dog was a very distinct race from the Scottish 
 wolf-dog, which resembled the Irish hound in 
 stature and equalled it in courage, but differed 
 from it by having a sharper muzzle and pendant 
 ears. 
 
 Smith, in his " History of Waterford," p. 343, 
 states that, among the Earl of Cork's manu- 
 scripts he had met with the following original 
 letter from the Lord Deputy Falkland, dated 
 Chichester House, August 23, 1623 : —

 " My Lord, 
 
 " I have lately received letters from my Lord 
 Duke of Buckingham and other my noble friends, 
 who have entreated me to send some grey hounds 
 and bitches out of this kingdom, of the largest 
 sort ; which I perceive they intend to present unto 
 divers princes and other noble persons. I am 
 given to understand that there are good store in 
 your country, and therefore I pray you, either by 
 yourself, friends, or neighbours, to procure me one 
 brace, either of good dogs or bitches, and them to 
 send unto me with all the speed you may. And, 
 if you can possibly let them be white, which is the 
 colour most in request, herein you shall do me a 
 favour, which I shall be ready to requite. 
 
 " And so, expecting your answer by this bearer, 
 I commit you to the protection of the Almighty, 
 and rest
