The second volume of the Ormonde arcjiives includes docu- ments, papers, and letters extending from 1640 to 1714, whicb are of great historical interest. I. The first section contains a selection of papers and letters, 1640-1649, connected with Captain William Cadogan, Deputy Governor of Trim, co. Meath, largely concerning the garrison at Trim, the treatment and payment of the soldiery, examination and punishment of deserters, orders of war, proclamations of James, Duke of Ormonde, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and of Colonel Michael Jones, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces ia Leinster; also a statement by General Thomas Preston. The letters to Captain William Cadogan are from various persons, including Sir John Peel, Controller of Musters in Ireland, George Garr, Daniel O'Neille, nephew of Owen Koe O'Neill. Other letters of interest include one from Father Peter Walsh to Eichard Bellings, from Owen Roe O'Neill to Colonel George Monck, and from Lord George Digby to Queen Henrietta Maria; besides a letter from which the signature has been torn away, dated " April 21, London," in which the writer says, " This after- " noon the act of attainder of the Earl Strafford passed the " House of Commons, and was presented from thence by Mr. Pym " to the Lords. * * Much dispute there was and motions " to reserve some part of his estate for his children, but it " was not thought fit to prevent his Majestie's grace so far. " Expectation of this great business slows all others, none " will lend or pay money, trade at a stand, and the Scots " treaty not concluded till when our army will be disbanded. " Tempora mutantur, &c. This is the vanity of the world. " The Prince of Orange's son came to court yesterday with a " great train of Dutchmen, and is a very fine young gentleman." In a letter to Ormonde and Privy Council the following curious passages occur : " The whole country groans under the burden " of the Ulster creaghts, and other quarters, mightily, nay so " infested by them, that unless some speedy course be taken to " restrain their insoleucy, there will be scarce a horse or garrcm K 96480. a 2 VI " resolved not to take exception to the smallness of the house, " because I shall either he able to build to it, or shall not " need a bigger, and I am told the gardens are pleasant and well " furnished with good fruit, which is an inducement to an old " man that must shortly lay aside the thoughts of field sports, " and the steps downward are very natural from the field to a " garden, from a garden to a window, from thence to a bed, and " so to a grave." VIII. The Report by Lord Dartmouth and Sir Thomas Phillips on the projected fortifications of Ireland occupies the eighth division of the volume. IX. The last portion is composed of Proclamations and Public Notices ; concerning unlicensed traders ; of brass and copper coinage by order of James II.; as to the forfeited estates of rebels ; of the disarming, removal, and restrictions of Roman Catholics; of the return of Ecclesiastics from France; of the arrival of William III. in Ireland ; of the accession of Queen Anne ; her remarkable proclamation on the suppression of vice ; of war with France and Spain, and of communication with those countries ; of licenses to carry arms, and of the accession of George I., with further restrictions as to the use of arms.

REPORT ON THE MANUSCRIPTS OF THE MOST MSmfor HONORABLE THE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE, ^^"^^^"^ KILKENNY CASTLE : BY SIR JOHN T. GILBERT, LL.D., F.S.A. Letters and Papers, 1640-49, connected with Captain William Cadosan, Deputy G-oveenoe op Trim, Co. Meath. Thomas Littell to William Cadogan. 1640, October 31. York. — " I had need to say something though it be but to give you thanks for your four letters which now lie before me, all which I received since I had time conveniently to send unto you. The first was dated the 30th of September, and in that you sent me a warrant for Sir Percy Smith to be master of the game in the couutie of Waterford, void (as you write) by the death of Mr. Wyseman, but I say by the death of Mr. . Robert Wyse. Seeing that Sir Paul. Davys' appeared therein, I durst not delay it, otherwise it should have rested till my coming into Ireland, but God knows when that will be. " My Lord Lieutenant^ is reasonable well in health thanks be to God, but now this week after the King be gone towards London, his lordship intends to remove himself and his whole family from here to Ripon, to see the army settled, which is appointed to be quartered thereabouts, so much nearer to our ill neighbours the Scotts, to hinder their incursions into Yorkshire. Some of our lords have been in treaty at Ripon with their commissioners, very near the space of a month past, and as yet the Bame treaty has not brought forth any good effect; they ore to have 25,000^. a month allowed them for the maintenance of their army ,"■ and to this, the counties of Northumberland and the Bishopric must contribute, and it is said this county of York must join in the contribution, but this must continue until the Parliament have resolved what further course shall be taken with them. This is but bad and uiipleasing news, and sucii indeed as it much grieves me to write thereof, " I cannot tell you when we shall go to London or how long we shall stay at Ripon, but for my part, I could rather wish myself in Ireland than in either of those, or any other place in England. I send unto you herewith the warrant for my Lord Deputie, which was sent down from London from Mr. Raylton, the same being signed by ir,y Lord Lieutenant. I pray you present the same together with my humble service unto my Lord Deputie, and I beseech you also to present unto his Lordship my most humble thanks, for the favour of his letter 1 Clerk of the Privy Council, Ireland. 2 Thomas Went worth, Earl of Strafford.

" Here are three or four warrants sent now by my Lord of Derryi to Sir George Weutworth for my Lord to sign, and they are written by your hand, but I perceive by a letter from my Lord of Derrie to Sir George Wentworth that one of them is to be altered, and Dean Pryce^ hath undertaken to give directions for that alteration, but I dare not put my hand unto it : if my lord do sign them, they shall be sent altogether in a box, and so shall the- two warrants for Captain Charles Pryce his Lieutenant and Ensign, but before they receive them, let them be entered and let the fees be paid, for nothing is paid here ; there is nothing to be paid for what concerns Mr. Lotkey but for Sir Percy Smith and the rest do what you shall think fit. " I pray you present my most humble service to my Lord Bishop of Derry and let his Lordship know that I cannot get the letter for the new Bishop of Killala^ made ready for the King's signature, before his going from hence, but shall send the same to Mr. Raylton to be prepared and presented by him, so soon as I shall receive my lords directions for the same. " I have sent also in the box a certificate in parchment of the fees due to the Sergeant at arms for the Commons House of Parliament, accepted by Mr. Grimston ; this I would intreat may be delivered to Mr. Peter Hill from me, with the remembrance of my best respects. " I had written thus far before the King went away, and before his going when my Lord took his leave of him, he recommended his Lordship to come up to the Parliament so soon as possibly he could, so that now my Lord having sent all the colonels with their regiments to their winter quarters, his Lordship is resolved to go to his house at Woodhouse upon Monday next and after three or four days' stay there, to make all the haste he can to London, so as if you shall address any letters to ray Lord or to any here, let them come by the way of London, for so they will be the sooner delivered. " I have got the four warrants above mentioned signed by my Lord, and I beseech you to present my humble service to my Lord of Derry, and let his Lordship understand so much, and that I shall not fail to send the other letter which concerns the Bishop of Killala from London. " My Lord Deputie his warrant is in the fold of Sir Percy Smith his warrant. If that warrant which was drawn here by my Lord of Derry his directions be not right or mistaken, it may be drawn right there and sent back again." Addressed : — " For your owne good selfe— ^Mr. Cadogan." * to W. Cadogan. 1641, April 21, London. — "You have occurrences from this place of action by so many hands that X forbear to give you any long trouble, only this day's work I know you could not have by yesterdays post. And it is a cutting tale, for this afternoon the act of attainder of the Earl Strafford passed the House of Commons and was presented from thence by Mr. Pym to the Lords.

He further deposeth, that the said Proudfoote hath many times persuaded not only liim, this examinate, but divers others of Sir Adam Loftus his troop to quit his Majesty's service and to run away to the enemy, and that the said Prowdfoote, with one George Dowding of Tredagh and a friar, one Bannan, did twenty times at least persuade this examinate to run away and they would undertake to procure him a pass, either from the friars or the priests of this town, either to go home or to the rebels, the said Prowdfoote, Dowding, and Bannan still saying, that this examinate and the rest of his fellow soldiers would be all killed and have no quarter when the enemy entered the town, which they assured this ' Drogheda.

Sir John Vkbli to W. Cadogan. 1641 [-2], March 18. Dublin Castle.—" I forbore answering yours of the 24th of February, because when our army went into the Pale we had nothing of novelty to write of. Since then, videlicet, Tuesday night was sennight, a boat came in from Kinsale with letters from the Lord President, with this intelligence besides, that one of the King's ships and four men of war now carrying the King's colors were nevvly come into that harbour, and two more gone to Knockfergus,^ where I believe 1 Controller of musters in Ireland. 2 Carrickfergus. you heard already that they are arrived, for it was reported so to the Lords mss. op last night by a Scottish merchant that came thence and saw them there. ^oi;^oT!m^ " This Scot affirms besides that on Monday last was three weeks, he — was in Glasco, where, and at Dunbarton and along that coast lie six thousand men ready t.o be embarqued, attending the first wind, which now God hath sent us. " The Lord of Mountrose is General of these, and four thousand more presently to follow under the command of the Lord Lowden. Those two armies are said to be sent with abundance of arms and ammunition. The two ships that came from London he saith brought to Knockfergus great store of powder, and arms for the British in those parts. Sir Arthur Tyringham, he saith, is dead of a hurt received at the fight at Lisnegarvie^ ; others say he was not hurt, but fell sick presently after. " He that came out of Munster reports that the Lord Mountgarrett and his rabblement of young divells made extreme havock in the county of Cork, being so strong that the Lord President was fain to march to the city of Cork, as well to assure that as to secure himself. Mountgarret, meanwhile, pillageth all the English, and such sheep and cattle (English, I mean) as he could not drive away, nor his cormorants devour, they killed in hatred of our nation and so left as carrion in the fields : and it is thought about MaUowe and those parts (where are abundance of goodly pastures) they left slaughtered for the crows and wild beasts to feed upon, nigh fifty thousand sheep, besides great cattle. Honest Sir Thomas Percivall hath lost a great stock there. " In a letter to Mr. Eiche-eyes from Corke, dated the third of this month, it is advertised that, Mountgarret being returned, others to the number of 10,000 strong broke into my Lord of Cork's plantation of Tallowe, which they pillaged, fired, and then killed man, woman, and child. But my Lord President with two or three hundred able musketeers and five hundred horse, having sent to the Earl of Barrimore to make good the bridge of Fermoy, and to the Viscount Dungarvan to make good that at Cappaghquiu, fell suddenly upon the rebels, routed them, slew above 1,000, with their principal leader ; but of this we have yet no certainty from the President himself. Sir Charles Vavasor, with his regiment of 1,500, is landed at Youghal, and this wind, we hope, will bring thither the Lord President's own regiment, consisting of as many more, and then I suppose it will not be long ere he call Mountgarrett to account. " This will not stay to carry you what news we expect tomorrow by those ships we saw this evening, staying for the tide, for the troops go somewhat early toward you. I can therefore add no more now, but that it is held requisite, the siege being broken up, that the army under Sir Henry Tychbourne, your gallant governor's command should be mustered, both horse and foot, last night I received directions to that purpose, and I do hereby pray and authorise you to muster all the troops and foot companies there and to return me by the first con- venieney an exact list of all under the Captains' hands, especially of those forty companies that were last sent in by sea, and those that were put in by "my Lord of Ormonde. " As for those that have borne the heat of the day, and carried them- selves so bravely, it is not imwise to wink at small faults in them for the present. " As for the two troops, Captain Marrowe's and Captain Vaughan's, you may pass them too, as you see cause, for they were very lately mustered here. ' Lisburn. ^ss. OP « Present my service to noble Sir Henry Tychborne, and advise with OrmoAe. him about mustering the old garrison ere you do it; but defer not those late supplies, for some of their officers must be looked unto." Addressed: — "To my sincere friend Captaine William Cadogan : These at his garrison in Drogedagh." Sib John VeelI to W. Cadogan. 1642, April 20. Dublin Castle. — " I thank you for the relation you sent me, so doth the Master of the Rolls,^ to whom I delivered it with 3'our letter to him. I cannot in~ requital give you a journal of our army's proceedings that went out under the command of my Lord of Ormonde and returned last Sunday, but in brief thus ; " His lordship marched to Athy, which was the first place he relieved. All the way as he went for several days together they fired and wasted all the country. Thence they relieved Catherlogh Castle by two or three troops of horse, who slew some forty or fifty rebels, being all they could overtake ere they got into thickets and bogs; for they fled as soon as they saw our men coming and fired the town least we should place a garrison there. " In this expedition the army being marched as far as Mariborongh, sent some troops of horse upon Easter day who relieved Birr alias Parsonstown and Burrish in Upper Ossory.^ This was a dangerous piece of service, for our men were fought withal upon great disadvantage, three times the first day, and twice the next in their return, out of the bogs and roads by which they must necessarily pass. " There was Captain Armstrong shot three times, but the bullets being spent did him little hurt, only one pierced to his navel where it made a bunch as big as a hen's egg and fell out at his knees. Captain Yarnev was shot across the upper part of his forehead, where the buUet took away all the flesh to the skull, whence some scales have been taken, yet, God be thanked, both he and Captain Armstrong go abroad without much appearance of being hurt, only he wears his cap. "On Friday last, as the army marched homewards from Athy, the Lord Mountgarret, with all the strength he could raise, waited on them four or five miles together in sight, a bog keeping them asunder. At last the rebels hasted to a height arising out of the highway where our army marched, and there placed many shot in ditches and over high banks to impeach our passage, and all their foote in several ordered bodies drew into the fields. But our forlorn hope of firelocks and musketeers beat those from the trenches, and thereupon our horse charged into the fields among the thickest of them, whom they routed and had the killing of them some three mile together. It is thought they left 600 of the rebels slaughtered carcases in the fields, and amongst them many of note, as seemed by their equipage. "The heads of the Lord of Dunboine's brother. Colonel Dermot McDowlin Cavanagh and a priest (as some say) were brought in. And it is verily believed Colonel Hugh Birne is slain, both by the description of the man, and by letters and papers found in his pocket. The Lord of Hosts hath fought his own battles, both with you there, and our army here ; and at this time His Almighty hand was manifestly seen, for the ' See page 4. ° Sir Christopher Wandesford.

Dublin, 1882-1891, rebels being triple our number, and having taken the sacrament never mss. of to fly, and. being confident of leaving never a man alive, trusting; to ^,^'^'^112'' their multitudes, despised those that trusted in God and were shamefully V™?"^- beaten. Had they gained that day they resolved to come for Dublin making no doubt to distress this place in a short time. " Last -week here landed four troops of horse and three companies of dragoons, some are sent to you and some to Sir Charles Coote, who is garrisoned in the Naas with twelve hundred foot. " I must not forget my Lord of Ormonde, who carried himself very gallantly that day, when he fought against many of his near kindred, nay, his own brother was in the field against him, and it is thought would have paid for it could he have been found, for his Lordship made diligent inquiry after him as after a traitor, as I have been told by no worse man than Mr. Speaker.' " Yesterday here landed the Lord Lisle,^ the Lord Folliot and Lord Digby ; moneys come down to Chester weekly ; God send us good winds to bring it over and more supplies to go through with the work, which the King intends to finish himself in person, as he saith, by his late message to the Parliament.

There was a ship lately cast away not far from Lancaster ; she had 21 pieces of ordnance, some powder and 300 Spaniards, going, as it is said, for Dunkerke, the Parliament forces got some ammunition, most of the guns which are now at Lancaster. The Earl of Darby came to bid speed to their work, fired the ship, got some shot and powder and 'tis hoped got the guns by this time, for they were not mounted upon their carriages.

The quality and fowlness of the business is such as that I may not in my duty omit the representation thereof unto his Excellencie, my General, whose orders I must expect before I can part with Mr. Cusack : Thus much I thought fit likewise to make known unto your Lordship and the rest of the Commissioners who I am very confident will not well approve of such insolencies, which if not seasonably prevented and suppressed on either side may be a means to disturb the good and pious endeavors of those who labour in the great busines of the Peace, which so highly concerns l^is Majesties service and the good of this kingdom, as that for my own part I account him an accurst man, that should be guilty of so great a sin. " I have certified his Excellencie of the whole passage and do expect his Lordship's orders to morrow, in the meanetime, Captain Cusack shall be civilly treated, only confined to his chamber at his sister's house, and I am very sorry his carriage hath been such as that the duty I owe compels me to do so much it self, my carriage hitherto having been such as that I have not given nor suffered any the least damage or affront to be done unto any of your quarters, since my coming hither, neither shall I decline my perseverance therein whilst those of your party do no wrong unto us, which if any should rashly attempt I am very confident such actions will not be approved of by your Lordship or any of the well affected. — Unsigned. iiddressed : " To the Lord of Trimletston ; James Plemyng, esquire, Sir Kichard Barnwell, Baronet, Sir Luke FitzGerald, Sir William Hill, gentlemen, and the rest of the Commissioners designed for the government of the Irish quarters in the county of Meath."

And withal I have sent a copy of the enclosed^ relations unto the Irish Commissioners for the county of Meath for their satisfaction.

But when I fell a calling of them by their names, instead of men fit to be enrolled or enlisted to serve his Majesty, I found divers that had served under Finglas, Rowen and Welsh and such as iiad been Tories . . . When I refused to allow of throe that had been more notorious in their villainies than the rest, ridelicet, Patrick (>usack of Stafi'ordstowne, ■James Lyneham and one Richard Strong, who had been at the taking of Captain Treswell, and now owned by his Lordship as his servant although divers upon the place did justify that he had been a very villain.

But when I had ridden some half a jnile, by the advice of others, his lordship was pleased' to'send the muster book after me, a copy whereof is here enclosed but I have not perclosed the book, nor exchanged hands with his lordship to confirm a muster before further order from your Excellencie."

" Be pleased therefore to excuse my freedom and plain dealing if I presume to give this account that of the twenty-five present his Lord- ship did own eleven as his domestic servants, without conforming to the- prescribed rules of number : and for the men the greatest part of them of that known condition of life as not fit to be passed a muster to serve the- King. And although in a most civil way upon the call I passed all saving the three men before named yet nothing would suffice his Lord- ship unless they were put in the rank of honest men which I could not possibly do. If your Excellence shall think fit upon this account given to admit of this muster I am very well pleased and shall be humbly ready to- perclose the books. I shall desire that my Lord Dunsany may be required to produce and deliver Cusack aforesaid to be proceeded with according to your Lord- ship's laws and orders of war, v/hose carriage truly might have produced very bad effects had not they (as is known unto Captain Pate, Captain Graham, and Cornet . . . , and many others upon the place) a great deal of civility and moderation been used by me, who do humbly leave- the consideration of the whole business unto your good Lordship as- befits me to do."

And when Colonel Jones and Captain Trusedale went to Kells, this examinate went with them thither. And further saith that he was in the town of Kells, when the same was surprised by the rebels and that he then was Captain Trusedales drummer : " Being asked what captains were then at Kells, he saith, he knew none but Captain Trusedale and one Lieutenant Meeke, who, he saith, was killed there. He saith further, that there were but four drums with the forces then at Kells : He saith further that he knew of no more officers killed there but the said Meeke : " He further saith, that one Henry Rose who came in company with this examined to Trym, was of Colonel Jones own company at KeUs, and saith witlial that he, this examinate, and the said Eose at the taking of the town were carried away prisoners by the rebels, and afterwards this examinate was entertained as a drummer, and the said Rose as a soldier by the Earl of Westmeath and upon Saturday last both of them ran away from the said Earl's forces that then were at Ballinecor unto Atliboy and on Sonday last came to this town : " Francis Hughes x mark."

OS ten thousand such dilatory proceedings, makes the wisest men conclude 'oSohde!^ the Parliament an unfit company to manage affairs; expedition and — ' secrecy are never amongst them. A Parliament is good phisick, but ill diet. " They are now very busy (and it is the main work) to ruin Sir Th[omas] Fairfax's army, which was modelled by, and consists of very honest men, which the world cannot have the insolence to deny, considering our forces were ill managed before, rather to bring things to an issue by accommodation and treaty, than force. I foresee nothing but most honest men must look for a suffering time. Those that have the faculty, must comply with the times and mens humours. It will bee policy or necessity for some to do so ; hoping thereby to do some good, or prevent some evil. I am confident things will never long run thus and surely God hath a greater work for the honest men of this kingdom to do than most men expect. I look at no men or force, they are frail, discomposed and irresolute, I look at God, let us commit our works to Him, and our thoughts shall be established. I am confident God's people (in which number I am not to be reckoned) will be as glorious in their sufferings as they have been in their actions. Mr. Weremouth is returned by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheri'iffs Burgesse of Newcastle, but Mr. Ellison had the more voices. If the Malignants must vote, how it will be decided (at this humour the house is in) I cannot tell, as Ellison solicits his own cause hugely and modestly . . would not do it if I were in his case. " The Scots will not surrender Belfast whilst their army is in that kingdom. Pay them their arrears and they will quit that and the kingdom, not otherwise. I serve the worst masters in the world, they will give me hardly what I have spent in their service : I will never have to do more with public men or business, they are all naught : I will run any course first.

" In the meantime I have amongst them gained this intelligence of their transactions at the last national assembly, that the result of all their debates was, after a long contestation betwixt the two factions supported by the itTunlio and the clergy on one part, and Muskerry,' with the nobility and gentry, on the other side, that Muskerry's party proved prevalent, who moulded their Supreme Council after their own model, and having dispatched away several emissaries to Spain, France, Rome, etc., to invite over the Prince, to implore assistanae and advice, and having transferred the care and power of levying and providing for a new army under the Lord Taaffe^ to a Provincial Assembly at Lymerick their General Convention dissolved. " Taaffe is already seven hundred horse and three thousand five hundred foot strong, as is given out, and they quarter for the most part in the county of Tipperary, into which country I intend, God willing, to begin another march about Monday come sennight.

OB from Mr. Robert Lyll that some of the Irish Tories were to be on Port- ■^CteMOHDE.' leaster ground that day, to lie in wait for and to rob the market people ; — ' he the said Major Owens, gave order unto the said Lieutenant Hamilton to take under his command some twenty horse and to march to Portleaster, and to take or kill the said Tories and no further orders : " And although the said Tories were there (by the said Mr. Lyll's confession) yet the said Lieutenant Hamilton, contrary to the said orders, haying taken a far greater number of horse than he was directed to do, he went with them divers miles into the enemies' quarters, to the great hazard of losing all the said horse, and from thence brought some seventy cows besides horses and garrons, and withall took and brought away several protected people's cows ; which are not yet all restored, although there be orders given for the same : " Upon consideration and debate had of the whole matter, it did and doth appear ,'that the said Lieutenant (as himself confessed in court) did engage the horse of the garrison without orders, and that besides the prey from the rebels, he brought the protected people's cows, some whereof have been restored, and some not : " It is therefore hereby thought fit, and ordered accordinglj', and that in favor to the said Lieutenant Hamilton, that the protected people's cows being restored, and the General's dues taken out, that then the whole prey shall be sold by Lieutenant Hamilton, and that the said Lieutenant Hamilton, with the officers and horsemen that accompanied him, shall upon the sale, have two parts of three of what moneys shall be received for the same, to help to remount such of the horsemen as want horses, which, as is conceived, will amount to about eighty pounds, and that the third part remaining be disposed amongst the rest of the officers of horse and foot of the garrison, but the said third part is to remain deposited in an indifferent hand, and not to be divided or dis- posed of, until upon certificate made to the general his pleasure he had and received in the matter, whether he in his judgment shall think fit to approve of and ratify what is thus ordered, which is humbly desired by us all he will be pleased to signify unto us : " And the better to prevent mischiefs and inconveniencies that may befall the garrison hereafter in cases of this nature, by liberty taken by any, either of the horse or foot of the same, to make inroads, incursions into the rebels' quarters without the order of him that shall command in chief for the time being : " It is ordered and agreed upon, that whatsoever prey, booty or pillage shall be brought by any such hereafter, that the same shall be wholly seized on, and converted to the public use of the garrison, and the delinquents to be dealt with and [proceeded against as the general shall think fit to command : "Lastly, to the end a general profit and advantage (when things are acted and preys brought by order) may arise to the whole garrison, it is ordered and concluded amongst us (no man gainsaying it) that when- soever any prey shall be gained from the rebels, by the proper forces of this garrison without joining with others, that the same shall be divided into three parts, two parts for them that have acted the service, and the other third part to be divided amongst such of the garrison as were not on the service or were not commanded abroad, that so every man according to his quality, may receive some benefit by what shall be gained from the enemy from time to time.

Cork.— "By the Lord Lieutenant General of Ireland : " " Ormonde — To prevent the too frequent prejudices incident through jealousies, distrusts and misconstructions to all undertakings : we account it not the least worthy our labour upon the instant of our arrival to prepare this people, whose welfare we contend for, with a right understanding of those intentions in us, which in order to his Majesties service, we desire may terminate in their good : " To enumerate the several reasons, by which we were induced (for preservation of the Protestant religion, and the English interest) to leave the city of Dublin and other his Majesty's garrisons then under our power in this kingdom in the hands of those entrusted by his two Houses of Parliament, were to set forth a narrative in place of a manifest : It may suttice to be known that those transactions had for one main ground this confidence, that by being under the power of the Houses, they would upon a happy expected composure of affairs in England resort unto and be revested in his Majestic as his proper right : " But having found how contrary to the inclinations of the well affected to his Majesties restoration in England, the power of that kingdom hath unhappily devolved to hands employed only in the art and labour of pulling down and subverting the fundamentals of monarchy (with whom a pernicious party in this kingdom do equally sympathize and co-operate : And being filled with a deep sense of the duty and obligations that are upon us strictly to embrace all opportunities of employing our endeavours towards the recovery of his Majesties just, rights in any part of his dominions : Having observed the Protestant army in the province of Munster (by special providence discovering the arts and practises used to entangle the members thereof in engagements as directly contrary to their duties towards God and man, as to their intentions and resolutions) to have found means to manifest the candour and integrity thereof in a disclaimer of any obedience to or concurrence with those powers or persons which have so grossly varied even their own professed principles of preserving his Majestie's person and rights- by confining him under a most strict imprisonment, his Majestie also vouchsafing graciously to accept the declaration of the said army as an eminent, seasonable expression of their fidelity towards him and in testimony thereof, having laid his commands upon us to make our repair unto this province to discharge the duties of our place : "We have, as well in obedience thereunto as in pursuance of our own duty and desire to advance his Majestie's service, resolved to evidence our approbation and esteem of the proceedings of the said army by publishing unto the world our like determination in the same ensuing particulars, and accordingly we profess and declare : " First, to improve our utmost endeavours for the settlement of the- Protestant religion, according to the example of the best reformed Churches : " Secondly : To defend the King in his prerogatives : " Thirdly : To maintain the privileges and freedom of Parliament, and the liberty of the subjects, that in order thereunto we shall oppose, to the E 96480. r 82 MSS. OB hazards of our lives, those rebels of this Kingdom, who shall refuse their "^o^koNDE? obedience to his Majestie upon such terms as he hath thought fit by us — to require it : " And we shall endeavour to the utmost the suppressing of that Independent party who have thus fiercely laboured the extirpation of the true Protestant religion, the ruin of our Prince, the dishonour of Parliament and the vassallage of our fellow subjects, against all those who shall depend upon them or adhere unto them : " And that this our undertaking might not appear obnoxious to the trade of England, but that we desire a firm union, and agreement to be preserved betwixt us, we do likewise declare, that we will continue free traffic and commerce with all his Majesties good subjects of England, and that we will not in the least manner prejudice any of them that shall have recourse to our harbours, either in their bodies, ships or goods, nor shall we take any thing from them without payment of ready money for the same : " And know that by his Majesties said commands we have proceeded to re-enter upon the work of his service in this province we conceive no higher testimony can be given of his Majesties acceptation, or of the esti- mation we bear about us towards these proceedings, than by resorting unto them in person with his Majesties authority, and exhibiting unto them the encouragement and satisfaction they may receive in this assurance : That as we bear an especial regard to their present undertakings and performances, accompanied with a real sense of their former sufferings so least there any advantage be derived unto those wlio [endeavour to improve all opportunitys of sowing sedition and distrust by this sug- gestion, that their former differences in judgment and opinion, which have induced persons to serve diversely under his Majestie and the Parliament will occasion prejudice or ill resentments to arise towards such persons as have not formerly concurred in judgment, with others in bis Majesties service. We do declare that we are qualified with special power and authority from his Majestie to assure them that no distinction shall be made in any such consideration but that all persons now interested and engaged in this cause shall be reflected upon with equal favour and regard ; and that we shall make it our endeavour so to improve and confirm his Majesties gracious disposure towards them, as that we will never call to memory any past difference in opinion, judgment, action or profession to the prejudice of any member of this army, er any person relating to it, but on the contrary shall be very ready to attest our good affections towards them in the discharge of such good offices as shall be in our power, in return whereof we shall only expect their perseverance in their present engagements for his Majesties service with such alacrity, constancy and affection, as may suit with their late public declaration and professions, to whom we desire this assurance also may be inculcated : " That as we shall in the future use our utmost care and diligence to provide for their preservation from the like hardships to those they have formerly undergone, so we have ali'eady employed our best industry and endeavours for the settlement of such a course, as we may, with most reason hope, will in these uncertain times produce a constant and competent subsistence for them, enabling them to make such progress in their present undertakings as may with the accomplishment of the great ends thereof establish their own honour and content : " Thus much we have thought fit to publish to the world, to furnish it with an evidence of strong combination against us if we ever swerve, to Ihe best of our power, from the just ways of maintaining the true Protestant religion, the honour and interest of his sacred Majestie, the 83 just rights of Parliament, the liberty of thp subjects and the safety, quiet and welfare of the people entrusted to our care."

London. — "What is in reference to the service of Ireland at present reaches no further than discourses and intendments. They build castles in the air and talk of 12000 foot and horse, but yet 88 jif^am^o^ lay down no visible way how so good and great a work may be effected, OKMoifDB. and that indeed troubles me to see them guided by fancies more than substantial reason : " I tell them that the first introduction to that service must be an immediate provision of shipping to clear the coast betwixt Dublin and England, for if the ships belonging to those harbours be snapped up at the rate they now are it will bee impossible to transport any considerable force : " To back this I instance the great difficulty of procuring ships when you last went over. To this (though they are sensible of the necessity of it) yet they can give no present satisfaction, for though Sir George Lisle be appointed Vice Admiral of the Irish seas, yet for aught I can inform myself by Mr. Cortmore, Mr. Frost and others, none of the 36 vessels appointed to attend him, are in a present capacity of readiness to be dis- patched away. My endeavours shall not be wanting to tell them of how great importence this matter is to the service. " I am told by good hands that they have made a private determination, and have pitched upon such regiments as must be designed for us : indeed I can propose to myself little happiness unless that course be taken, to send over entire regiments and such as may be upon the same establishments with the army here, for should they send over the super- numeraries, there would not only follow this inconvenience that we have to deal with mere mercenaries (which, I hope, some of the other are not) but therewith they would (when once turned over water) never be thought upon, nor would any worthy person take the conduct of them, which I am in some measure assured Cromwell will do of the other. " Your proposals for recruits are relished well by all except the army yet they remain still in suspense, and I hope may be had to a com- pliance with your desires therein, though I know they incline to have all entire. Colonel Tuttle,i I hope, will be with you speedily for he waits nothing but transportation. There is a general report in town that I should bring Vicar- General Eely with me : I wonder how it should arise: " Sir John Dungan, I can assure you, is in this town but at what place I know not. I visited sweet Mr. Pierrepont this day whose heart bleeds for poor Ireland. I confess he alone I find to be truly sensible of our cause, for the innocent blood that hath been shed is fresh in his memory, and the sad condition of the party with you is a ground of fellow feeling to him, as members of the body and subjects of the same kingdom, which principle is rarely to be found. For though I in no wise doubt of your effectual and speedy relief, yet I truly discover, were not their own security so nearly concerned, you might lie in the ditch long enough : " I am confident the Pope's interest in the Levellers to divert the service of Ireland by divisions here, is strenuously prosecuted, and dangerously heightened, for I am credibly informed that more than half the army are inveigled with this plausible doctrine, and drive on the Levelling design, the ordinary soldier is grown so sensible and malapert, that he thinks himself able to rule a state, and indeed the aim is at nothing else than to have their turns, in the share of government that they may over turn all : "Some little justice was ordered to be done upon six puny offenders in this kind but the heads of the faction pass uncontrolled, which I am afraid may only be a means to add fuel to the fire.

And, to keep you from helping us, Ormonde will fall upon your quarters at the same time when the Scots here [are] ready to surround us : " This day they have a general meeting at Newtowne and I believe, will declare themselves and set up another commander, but I should think they would not act any hostility against us till the Prince sends a commission, though I am informed they will, having received assurance that the Prince will come presently to Edinburgh and take the Covenant and do what they shall propound for securing religion etc., and that the Duke of York is to be in this kingdom and act by Ormonde, and their design is wholly upon keeping Ireland and Scotland till they have a better opportunity of footing in England. So how much it concerns the Parliament to send power both by laud and sea to prevent these designs any man may judge : " I writ to you formerly about shipping, if you could possibly prevail with the Vice Admiral for two or three of the smallest ships to lie here it would mightily disorder their design and it may restrain them from acting till we should be better provided for them.

Walter Bagenall to . 1649, June 19, . — "I have coveted to serve you, which I have been industrious to manifest whilst my judgment approved your proceedings, and since my advice in your behalf to Mr. Lea might if truely related testify as much, but could not relish with any gust the progress of your affairs of late, nor conceal my dislike thereof, yet have attributed much of that inconveniency to the facility of your nature, and the influence evil dispositions had over you, whose advices if you please but to decline and to conform yourself to his Excellency's commands, I do undertake you shall find indulgency to exceed what you can in reason expect, that being the only means to attain the same, which I am commanded to require at your hands by his Excellency without delay. In pursuance thereof, I shall desire you immediately to dispatch your orders to those entrusted by you in Carnoe, Arkloe and Clonmullin to receive such garrisons as his Excellency hath heretofore commanded (and now by me) in such sort as they shall prove effectual, otherwise you must expect the severity of justice. As for Carnoe, his Excellency will perform the title of his engagement concerning the same unto you, but is necessitated to garrison it for reducing the rebels the speedier, which otherwise must evidently draw the same to such a length as cannot but prove very destructive. Your positive resolution hereunto is desired by him." Not addressed. Lord Inchiquin to Oemonde. 1649, July 6. " Four in the morning, near Drogheda : " " May it please your Excellenoie, — " I shall not stir towards Dundalke with any part of the foot, nor, for aught I know, with any horse, till the work here is done, which I am exceedingly sorry can be no sooner prosecuted effectually : But I humbly desire that if tlie bullets do come (sooner than Sir dames Dillon's regiment) they may not stay an hour there, and that my Lord Taaffe may with all possible expedition, bring up the guns, six barrels at least (I doubt we shall want more), of musket powder, with his own regiment and if no more men can be with us, we will put fair for it, with them. " I also beseech your Exeellencie that if Richard Gething be not MSS. op come, at least 800 may be presently sent us, which your Exeellencie may 'xtemwDEf command to be left tliere. Upon the coming, up of my moneys, which will be by Sunday at furthest (as my man from Cashe] doth inform me) you may please withal to stop what moneys you command to be laid out for the horse of Vaughan's and Courteney's regiments, now attending your Exeellencie. The 400/. I had last of your Lordship, with some addition of this money will be laid out to the horse come of Sir Edmund Varnye, and Lieutenant-Colonel Cavanagh's foot with the train of artillery. " I have taken all the course I can to prevent the going of any soldiers in Munster upon free quai'ter, neither do I believe do they it anywhere, but upon delinquencies, without which no money is to be expected. I have sent a potent for Colonel Mannwood, and then your ExceUencie will hear not of those clamours, which, I think, do almost all proceed from the county of Tipperary. " I am just now advertised of the advance of horse and foot from Dundalke to fall upon my quarters, I know not what they are, but I trust with- God's assistance to give them as good as they bring. " We want match and powder now, which I desire may be presently sent, what may be spared." Addressed : — " For his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant- General." Lord Inchiquin to Dean Boyle.i 1649, July 9. Youghal. — " I give you many thanks for your letters from the camp, which place this~kingdom in so gallant and hopeful a condition for the King, as seems only to want the last hand to reduce it wholly to his obedience the which receiving from so authentical a one as yours is, arid from the scene of greatest action and concernment, I conclude may be built upon as far as any human successes can be, witli such a cause to boot, as may lay a kind of humble claim to a Divine blessing : "Yet one of your boat (I remember not his name, but you will know him by this token, that he is an inhabitant of this town and a piece of a physician into the bargain) is newly arived here from the army, who makes but a sad relation of matters there. As for the purpose, that our men both before Droghedagh and {Semainder missing.) LoED Inchiquin to Ormonde. 1649, July 10. Youghal. — " May it please your Exeellencie :— " Happening to be here when Major Stephens landed, and under- standing from him the advertisements he brought concerning the enemies' present designs upon Kinsale and other ports of this province, withal knowing something of the strength and condition of our fleet and guessing at the sense Prince Rupert hath of things with relation there- unto, and his resolutions thereupon, I have presumed to write the letter (whereof a copy is here enclosed) to Dean Boyle, thereby adchessing myself to my Lord Inchiquin, as supposing his lordship hath sufficient authority for the things there proposed, unless disapproved by your Exeellencie, and desirous his Lordship should please himself in the ^ Michael Boyle, Dean of Lismore. G 2 100 M^Quis^op ^°''"' ®° ^■^^ Prince may be satisfied in the matter as far as reason wills : Ormonde. And least your Excellencie should not approve of the matter and form of this address, I have enclosed the original likewise, to the end that after your lordship hath perused the copy it may be delivered if you shall think fit and not otherwise. God preserve and bless your Excellencie and your proceedings. These are the daily prayers of ' — " safest thing he can do in that case for himself and his ships, or at least the most honourable way of perishing : and this (in the opinion of wiser men than I) would hazard both port and fleet. " One thing I will add that if the same advertisement of the enemies' design and expectation were carried to the King which are brought hither (as I am confident they were) his Majestie is questionless put into as much doubt of losing Kinsale as hope of gaining Dublin, and the securing of the former will not be more welcome to him, than the reducing of the latter. For my part I should not wonder if Cromwell or Ireton should conclude all their speeches in their conclave with, this is their opinion, and that Munster should be won, of which Kinsale is the eye, and the fleet, I hope, a growing and everlasting appurtenance, ait its constant rendezvous from time to time. ' " One word more and I have done. This care or charge or incon>'enience otherwise (if it be any) continued but for one month in case the enemies- victuals be not [misjreported secures all for ever, the business of Dublin succeeding; and let them be as well victualled as they will, two or three months (being the very longest they dare stay for the time of the year) will do it : Then all things will return into their proper channel, in the meantime not moving out of order, but by it." " told you was written to Sir John Menne's by an English mariner at Waterfbrd, who came from England with their fleet ; excepting only that of the additional ten ships, which probably was a resolution since taken. That mariner added farthei', that for the better effecting their design they relied upon divers well wishers they had in every one of these ports. Now, Major Stephens, he tells of a Governor that is made in the business : but with this modesty, that that intimation he saith may proceed from the usual acts of enemies (especially those we have) to create a difBdence of persons trusted, and therefore he wishes that the care which the high importance of this case requires may be used with that tenderness to that or any other Governor's both interest and reputation which their fidelity and services deserve, and in this, I conceive, he speaketh both his own, and the sense of those persons that sent him. " If you ask me what I am ready to move now in the whole matter, I am at a stand, only I am sure shall not be for my Lord President to come in person to secure the province, though that would most assuredly do it. But likewise it is as certain in reason that it must be one of the enemies' ends, in attendance upon Munster to divert part of the forces before Dublin, [who] are almost starved, not for want of victuals but money, and consequently like to disband, or do worse ; that for the same reason, and the difl'erence in the courage and vigilance of the men, he believes six of those of Dublin will beat six score of the besiegers ; that the greatest part of the horse of Sir William Vaughan's regiment are surprised and carried into Dublin, a suflScient number of Irish horse to have rescued them with ease standing idle spectators the while ; that ships and boats go in and out of Dublin as ' Portions of this letter are missius;. 101 freely as ever ; and that Jonesi eats his grass on one side of the town mss. of without any molestation as in high peace. 'Tis true he sayeth he ^on^osii^^ believes Droghedagh is taken by this time, which, nevertheless, in his — • opinion, will not remedy our condition, which he paints so bad, though I, for my part, must needs think it will, even supposing it as black as he paints it. " But tliis I tell you because a wise man's eyes are in his head, and I doubt not but you look before you well enough to warn you of an enemy you have behind you, which is dif&dence (to call it no worse) ; and that may help to do you more mischief behinde your backs in this conjuncture of time, and of worse consequence than perhaps your best successes in those parts can balance. " This is in pursuance of former discourses I have held with you upon the same subject, but taken up again at this time with somewhat greater liberty and vehemence of argument upon occasion of Major Stephens' coming to Ireland, expressly from several intelligent friends we have in France upon particular intimation out of England of a danger hanging ■over this province,^ and which they believed would take effect before their advice thereof could arrive. The sum is, that the Independents, despairing (as they have reason) to subdue this whole kingdom, and probably desiring no more than to make it the seat of the war, whereby at the expence of such money and men as they can spare to entertain the King abroad whilst the king is quietly at home, have designed their fleet (to be recruited v.'ith ten ships more, now ready in Falmouth with land-men, if not come out) in the first place to surprise Kinsale, with our ■shipping there, and afterwards, or in case that plot shall fail, then the ports of Corke and Youghall (these only were named) or some other ports of Munster. This is punctually according to the advertisement which I have formerly — " and consequently to raise (if possible) the siege thereof, which might work yet a greater effect to their advantage than hath hitherto been spoken, of. Yet to you (presuming you know me so well as neither to suspect the clearness of my intentions with relation to things or persons nor laugh at my ignorance of your points of government) I will adventure to offer some things to consider of : " First : I wish Dean Boyle resident at Corke, with orders from my Lord President to set and keep the provincial council on work about ; 29 Aug. 1657. 158 county of Sligo.

" Suppose that twenty companies more consisting of one hundred soldiers each should be sent over, which liiAety-four companies altogether will amount to the number of 6,440 private soldiers. "If it be desired to have the aforesaid twenty companies (consisting of difEerent liumbers from the seventy-fout companies of the standing army) sci equally distributed as that the whole 94 companies may consist of like numbers each. It may be performed thus : " By drawing thirty-two soldiers out of each of the twenty companies consisting of one hundred each and adding sight of those soldiers so drawn out to each of the seventy-four companies of the standing army consisting of sixty each, so each of the ninety-four companies will consist of sixty-eight private soldiers, and there will remain an overplus of forty-eight soldiers which being deducted out of (5,440 the remaine will be 6,392, which is the complete number of all the private soldiers of the said ninety- four companies consisting of sixty-eight soldiers each."

OB Philip Alden, Secret Agent, oe Ormosde. " The 6th of January 1662. — Colonel Vernon intending the next morning for England, was acquainted by Mr. Phillip Alden, a confidant of General Ludlow,'^ who had trusted him considerably in his affairs and (whom Vernon had engaged to find out and discover to him what the fanatics were doing) that there was a design on foot to subvert the government and engage the three nations in a new war, and gave Vernon the names of the general persons that sate daily in Dublin in a close committee, being most of them members of the then Parliament, which were to treat with all persons, but none else to know their whole design or names or persons engaged, with the heads of their intended declaration, which the said Alden did in order that Vernon should acquaint his Majestic with their design, and that he would from time to time give Vernon an account of their proceedings, to detect and frustrate their intended rebellion. " But Vernon, stopping his journey for some days, prevailed with Alden to consent that he should first acquaint his grace the Duke of Ormonde, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with it, and to bring Alden to his Excellency, which he did, and his Grace giving Alden all fitting encouragement for his service, and to proceed in his discovery, Vernon went into England, and by his Grace's directions left his servant Conyers to receive and convey letters from Alden to his Grace under covers that Vernon had left with Alden the better to conceal Alden ; and in the beginning of March following, bis Grace wrote to Vernon to return into Ireland for the better understanding of Alden in that affair, that proceeded very fast, which Vernon did accordingly. " And coming to Dublin from time to time acquainted his Grace from Alden, with the Colonels and other officers and soldiers that had been of Cromwell's army, and what other persons were engaged, the numbers and names of the Parliament men, with some officers and soldiers that had been of the rebels' army, and were continued by the Earls of Orrery and Montrath in that army then in being, most of which the rebels were confident would join with them, with the names of the fanatical and Presbyterian clergy both English and Scotch, the great numbers they engaged to raise, their meetings and the persons of quality at their private conventicles to seek the Lord for a blessing upon their intended rebellion, the transactions of Charnock, Henry Cromwell's chaplain, in England, the great sums of money and numbers of friends promised from thence; Col. GibbyCarr's and others' endeavours in and correspondency from Holland and Scotland, and this continued until the 20th May 1663, when it was resolved by the confederates not to stay longer (having great numbers with their aims, garrisons and towns, as they gave out and believed) to second them in that country, in Scotland and England, but the next morning to surprize the Castle of Dublin, and afterwards to march northwards to join the Scots, which his Grace by his great prudence had got the knowledge of, and of the day and manner of their surprize, which was so soldier-like and subtly laid, that the most knowing and watchful governors could not have prevented the taking the Castle in all probability, had they not been knowing of their way before attempted with the persons that were to head and lead on each party of horse and foot, where they lodged, and where they • Edmund Ludlow, sometime Commander-in-Chief of the forces in Ireland and Member of the Council of State. 252 MSS. or were to meet with the numbers each h.ad to command, and the places o^^oiSoil^. tliey were to attack. — " But the secret committee with the officers having met that night and from observations taken by Blood and Chambers and some small disappointments, they thought it was not so safe to fall on the next morning as designed (which if they had it would have been more fatal to them), for that his Grace having commanded those that he could rely upon into the Castle (of which number the Earl of Anglesey was not), and having planted his three sons in the places they chiefly designed to attempt both in the Castle and city, they resolved to disperse themselves the next morning into the country, and leave off their attempt upon the Castle at present i and being confident of their great numbers and friends, and to have some towns and garrisons delivered to them, resolved not only to appear in four days after in arms in Dublin, but in several other places of the Kingdom, as Tredagh, London-Derry, Cork, Lymerick, Waterford and Clonmel and other places. " But his Grace prevented them by seizing some of the chief officers as they were going out of Dublin, early in the morning into the country, and others at their quarters in the town, and at their houses in the country ; and appointing other persons of quality that he could rely upon in the most remote parts of that kingdom to secure the places where they were' and seize their pensong. And so caused several of them to be tried, some of which were executed, amongst which were Colonel Warren and Colonel Jephson, two members of the then Parliament, and Lak'ey, the Scotch minister, brother in law to Lieutenant Blood, which Blood was their agent, they sent upon errands, and not the chief of the rebels as generally reported to be. " It is to be observed that in their debates in order to carry on their rebellious design, they were often divided in their opinions upon three considerable points. The first two were whether to put the king to death, or govern the army by a committee or Greneral. " Cormack, a Presbyterian minister, was sent to the Scots ministers and officers to know their opinions and resolves, for Mr. Hart, the minister, had made some scruples about killing the King, but upon Cormack's return, who assured them of 20,000 Scots in the north, with Derry and other places to second them, it was resolved the King should be put to death, and the army governed by a committee not by a general, being the Scots refused to trust the nobility, and upon those debates many persons of great quality were named, amongst which Sir Theophilus Jones, whom they all earnestly desired to engage as a person of great courage and conduct, and interest in the country and army j and Jephson was the person employed to Sir Theophilus to treat with him, who waiting upon him at his house at Lucani a day or two before they were to attempt the Castle, Jephson acquainted Sir Theophilus with the design in general and that they had engaged considerable persons, numbers and towns, and proposed if they had success in their undertakings whether he would come in and head them and be one of their Generals, which Jephson said he promised he would, and appointed him a further meeting ;2 but Jephson told the committee he had not acquainted Sir Theophilus with their present design upon the Castle of Dublin. " Jephson believing he had engaged so considerable a person, with great joy hasted to Dublin, acquainting Mr. Alden and the rest with what had passed between him and Sir Theophilus, which his Grace ' In county of Dublin. ^ See Eighth Beport of this Commission, 1881, Appendix i., p. 623. 253 was presently acquainted with by Vernon from Alden. But his Grace jiss. oe gave not any credit to it as to the preiudice of Sir Theophilus, for his ■5^''^^**^'^„ trrace believed it they had been tampering with him, Sir Theophilus — would certainly have given his Grace an accompt of it, and accordingly it fell out, for a,s Vernon was the next mornina; early with his Grace in his closet, giving his Excellency', an account of that night's transactions. Sir Theophilus, with his brother, came and acquainted his Grace with what had passed betwixt him and Jephson, all which was the same his Grace had been acquainted with from Alden by Vernon. " The third and last difficulty they lay under in their debates was, whether they should take the Duke of Ormonde prisoner, or kill him in the attempt, which proved so difficult a dispute amongst them, that they did not resolve upon it until the day before they were to surprise the Castle ; they of the first opinion alleging ^his Excellency had been a great patron to the English and Protestant religion, but the violent party over-ruled them, saying, he was so firm to the Crown that they could not be safe, let their success be never so good, for by his interest in the kingdom and army one time or other he would prevail against them, so that at last they resolved by the earnest pressing of Colonel Edward Vernon to kill him in the attempt. " After the aforesaid rebels were executed in 1663, Mr. Alden broke prison out of the Castle and came to Colonel Vernon, who, by his Excellency's the Duke of Ormonde's directions carried him concealed into England, in order to make a further discovery of that design in Ireland, and to seize some of those plotters in England, and by the Duke of Ormonde's appointment, acquainted his Majestic and the Lord Chancellor Clarendon with him, who was highly satisfied with the discourse he had with Alden, and that they had so knowing an agent, and undertook to take care of him, and gave the Duke of Ormonde an account of it by letter, which his Grace acquainted Vernon with by his letters of the 8th of August 1663, and that my Lord Clarendon's under- taking should not lessen his Grace's future care for Alden, which so encouraged Alden that he mixed with the villains again in London, and continued his correspondence with Ludlow, and others of the regicides then in Switzerland, and from time to time gave a very good account of the transactings of the discontented party, and was chiefly instrumental in discovering the persons that designed a rebellion in the uorth being the dregs of that plot laid in Ireland. " And in this posture and employment Mr. Alden continued till the Plague years in anno 1665 and 1666, when he was left by his Excellency the Duke of Ormonde in and about London to keep intelligence with the Duke of Albemarle, then General to his Majestie, and Alden gave the General an accompt of many of the little designs then on foot, and likewise his Excellency the Duke of Ormonde, first to Salisbury, and after into Ireland. " But an officer of the General's meeting upon a search for some disaffected persons in a house, near Moore Park with a trunk of Alden's, in which he found some letters writ from Sir George Lane and Colonel Vernon to Alden, and making them public before he showed them to the General, Alden for his safety was taken off of that employ that he was so skillful and serviceable in, having a constant correspondence from Ludlow and others out of Switzerland, and having mixed again with that villain Blood and his partners, and more con- siderable rebels, so that most of their designs on foot were presently discovered by Alden to his Majestie or ministers." ' Endorsed : " An Account of the Irish Plot to surprize the Custle of Dublin." 254 MSS. OP VI. Maequis OE Obmonde. 1679, April 5, Dublin. — " A Narrative of the proceedings of the Lord Lieutenant and Council in Ireland since the intimation to them from his Majest}' of the discovery of the plot in England :" " By order of his Majesty's council, dated the 30th of September 1678, which was received here the 7th day of October last, the Lord Lieutenant was in particular, to use effectual means to compel all the titular Bishops and other dignitaries of the Church of Rome to depart the Kingdom with all possible speed, and to cause Peter Talbot, titular Archbishop of Dublin, to be seized and taken into cusfody, and in general to provide sure, speedy remedies for the obstruction of those evils informed of as should be thought fit. " Upon receipt of which order Peter Talbot was immediately seized by direction of the Lord Lieutenant and committed to his Majesty's Castle of Dublin, whei-e he still remains and was several times examined. " On the 14th of October, 1678, a proclamation issued from the Lord Lieutenant, commanding all officers and soldiers of the army to repair to their respective garrisons, there to remain and not absent themselves without particular and express licence from the Lord Lieutenant. " On the 16th of October 1678, a proclamation issued from the board commanding all titular Popish Archbishops, Bishops, Vicars General, Abbots and other dignitaries of the Church of Rome, and all others exercising ecclesiastical jurisdiction by authority from the Pope or See of Rome, and all iFesuits and other regular priests to depart the Kingdom by the 20th of November next. And that proclamation did also require that all Popish societies, convents, seminaries, friaries, nunneries, and Popish schools should be forthwith dissolved and thenceforth utterly suppressed. "And on the 6th of November, another proclamation requiring all owners and masters of ships bound for foreign parts to receive these Popish clergy on board and transport them accordingly. " On the 19th of October 1678, letters were sent from the board to Mr. Secretary Coventry giving an account of the seizing of Peter Talbot, and of the issuing of the aforesaid first proclamation, with which letters were sent copies of the several examinations of Peter Talbot, and other persons and a printed copy of the said proclamation, and on the 23rd of October another letter was sent Mr. Secretary Coventry relating to Peter Talbot. '' On the second of November 1678, a proclamation issued, command- ing that no persons of the Popish religion in this Kingdom should thenceforth carry, buy, use, or keep in their houses any arms without licence, and within twenty days after the date to bring in all their arms to particular persons named therein to be sent by them to his Majesty's stores and after the expiration of the said twenty days all justices of peace were to search for, seize and secure such arms as should not be brought in and to bind over the offenders to the next assizes or sessions of the county to be there prosecuted for their offence. " And the said proclamation required all persons of the Popish religion and all merchants, shopkeepers, and retailers, as well Protestants as Papists within twenty days to make return of the quantities of gunpowder in their possession. In pursuance of which proclamation, several returns have been made of seizing of arms and some few of gunpowder in the hands of some merchants and others. 255 " The Lord Lieutenant, having notice of one William Eyan to be Su- MSS. op perior of the Jesuits in this Kingdom thought fit to have him secured and oeOemohdb. examined, and his papers seized, which accordingly was done by Captain — Robert Fitz Gerald, a member of this board,i in pursuance of several letters from the board of the 6th and Sth of November 1678, and the said Kyan was brought up with a guard and committed to the Castle. " On the Sth of November 1678 letters were sent from the board to Mr. Secretary Coventry giving an accompt of the proceedings against Ryan and one Richard Bourke, another Jesuit with the examinations of the said Ryan and Bourke in which mention was made of one thousand pounds given by one Hughes, a Jesuit, to a college of Jesuits, at Poictiers in France, which thousand pounds was said to be lodged in the hands of Daniel Arthur. " And there appearing nothing material against Ryan in reference to the plot he was by order of the board, dated the 26th of February 1678, put aboard a ship bound from the port of Dublin to some foreign parts in order to his transportation according to the proclamation to that purpose. " On the 12th of November 1678, letters were received from his Majesty, dated the Sth of November 1678, for apprehending of Colonel Richard Talbot ; the Lord Viscount Mountgarrett's eldest son and the Viscount himself, and one John Peppard, a Colonel, and causing them to be examined upon the points mentioned in the said letter. '' Colonel Talbot and Richard Butler, Esquire, the said Viscount's eldest son, were accordingly apprehended and examined and continued prisoners in his Majesty's Castle of Dublin. " On the 22nd of November 1678, by letters from the board an account of the proceedings against them were sent to Mr. Secretary Coventry and giving him notice that the said Viscount Mouiitgarrett was not in a condition of health to be removed from his habitation, being above eighty years of age and bedridd and no such person as the Colonel Peppard was to be found or heard of in the kingdom, though diligent inquiry was made for him. " On the 28th of January and 1 1th of March 1677[-8] letters were sent from the board to the Commissioners of array in the several counties of the kingdom for making returns of the state of the militia and of the men and condition of their armes and returns were made accordingly. " On the 15th of November 1678, other letters issued from the board to the said Commissioners of array in the several couaties to quicken the officers of the said troops and companies of the militia to be in readiness and good posture for the safety and security of the country, and that they should appoint particular places of rendezvous for the militia if there should be any sudden invasion, and to consider and propose by what ways and means the militia may be so ordered as to be rendered useful upon any occasion for security of the country. '' 15th November 1678. — At a meeting in Council the Lord Lieutenant acquainted the hoard that directions came out of England particularly concerning Peter Talbot, Colonel Talbot and Lord Mountgarrett's son, and commanding the Popish clergy out of the kingdom were observed and put in execution and account thereof given to Mr. Secretary Coventry. " And for the general direction for obstructing of the evils informed of and mentioned in the aforesaid orders from his Majesty ' Privy Council in Ireland. 256 Mss. OB and the Lords of the Council orders had been given for the disarming oE dSttOKEE. of Papists and settling the militia and securing the garrisons, and — desired the advice of the board what was further to be done, and thereupon several matters were debated concerning the turning all Papists out of corporate towns and securing persons who might be supposed to be dangerous ; and it being considered that if all Papists were prohibited coming to the towns there would be no markets and the inhabitants and garrisons would be in danger of want of necessary provisions, and if leading men or suspected dangerous persons were taken up, how and where they should be safely kept or maintained, and upon the whole debate it was at last unanimously resolved that at present nothing should be done in that matter. " On the 20th of November 1678, a proclamation^ issued that none of the Popish religion, or so reputed, should come into the Castle of Dublin or any other of his Majestie's forts or citadels without special order from the Lord Lieutenant, and for keeping markets and fairs without the walls of Drogheda, Wexford, Cork, Lymerick, Waterford, Toughal, and Galway, and that no persons of the Popish religion should be suffered to reside in the said towns, or any other of the corporations who had not for the greatest part of twelve months passed inhabited therein nor to come to any fairs or markets with swords, pistols or any other weapons or fire-arms, and to forbear meeting by day or night in any great or unusual numbers. "On the 20th of JS'ovember 1678 a proclamation^ issued for reward to such as shall discover any officer or soldier of the army to be of the Popish religion or hear Mass. " On the second of December 1678, letters issued from the board to the sherifis of the several counties to be communicated to the Justices of the Peace taking notice of their neglect in not apprehending such of the Popish regular clergy as did not transport themselves according to the proclamation, and therefore requiring them to be more diligent and to apprehend such clergy and not only to return their names, but also the names of their receivers, relievers and harbourers, that they may be proceeded against for their contempt of the proclamation. " On the 9th of December 1678 letters issued from the board to the Commissioners of array in the several counties of the kingdom with new commissions and instructions, many of the former Commissioners being dead or removed out of the county, the said letters requiring that all persons of what state, degree, dignity or condition soever be equally charged with furnishing men and arms and supporting them on the muster day and all persons arrayed to take the oath of supremacy. "On the 12th of December 1678, proclamation issued requiring all sheriffs, justices of the peace and officers of the army to be more diligent in putting in execution the proclamation of the second of November for seizing of arms aud to return the names of the persons licenced and of their servants who are licenced to carry arms, and prosecuting all persons at the assizes or quarter sessions who have not delivered in their arms according to the said proclamation. "On the 13th of December 1678, a proclamation issued takino- notice of an intended conspiracy against the life of the Lord Lieutenant and giving a reward of two hundred pounds to such person as shall make discovery thereof. " On the 18th of December 1678, letters were sent from the board to Mr. Secretary Coventry, concerning the conspiracy against the Lord Lieutenant with several examinations relating thereunto. ' See page 356. 2 ggg p^ge 356. 257 " On the 9th February 1678, letters were received from the Lords MSS. oi? of the Council, dated the 31st of January 16 78 [-9], concerning the ^o^emonbe' conspiracy against the Lord Lieutenant, with the examination of — Stephen Dugdale enclosed, and in answer thereunto letters were sent to the Lords of the Council from the board, dated the 29th of March 1679, concerning Owen Eyrne and the manner of proceeding against him concerning the said conspiracy. "Within the time aforesaid several letters were sent to SheriHs, Justices of the peace, officers of the army and others, concerning the militia, the Popish clergy and seizing of arms in ansv/er to their letters to the board. " It being observed by several returns from the Commissioners of array that ' many arms were wanting in the troops and companies of the militia, and that if they could be furnished they would pay for them,' the Lord Lieutenant made application into England to have arms and ammunition sent thence; and some merchants in this kingdom, videlicet, John Kogerson and John Castleton, of Dublin and George McCartney of Belfast did propose to bring in several quautities of arms and ammu- nition, and to place the same into his Majestie's stores or to sell and dispose of them in such manner as the Lord Lieutenant and Council should appoint at reasonable rates ; and accordingly licences were signed for them, and the said McCartney took out his license by the officer of the Ordnance in Ireland; proposing to bring arms and ammunition out of his Majestie's magazine in the Tower of London, and to furnish the kingdom with such proportions as the Lord Lieutenant should think fit at as reasonable rates as any others could do for as good, serviceable arms ; the other two licences were staid, not having been called for, by the said Eogerson or Castleton before the said proposals of the said officer of the Ordnance. " On the 3rd of March 1678[-9], letters from the board issued to the Commissioners of array in the several counties giving them notice of the expectation of the sudden arrival of arms and ammunition out England and that they should certify to the board the quantity and quality of the arms they would have occasion to buy for the use of the militia and to have the money ready to be pa,id upon delivery of the arms. " On the 11th of March 1678[-9], letters were sent to several persons at Galway and Buffin to be diligent in searching and seizing on any arms should be brought in there, intimation being given that arms were at Brest put on board two fly boats belonging to Gaiway and of which the masters were Papists : " And directions were given to the farmers of the revenue to write to the ofiicerg of the several ports in the kingdom to be very diligent in searching for and securing all arms and ammunition which should be brought into the kingdom. " On the 26'th of March 1679, a proclamation issued ngainst Toryes and robbers, and for the reasons therein expressed for Seizing their nearest relations that is to say the wives, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters of such of them as shall . be out upon their keeping, that is, not amenable to law, and committing them to close prison until such Toryes shall be killed or taken, and also for seizing and committing the T-espective Popish pretended parish priests and transporting them beyond seas, unless within fourteen days after any robbery, burglary or murder committed within the said parishes the persons who are guilty shall be killed or taken or discovery made within that time as that such offenders may be api)rehended and brought to justice.

" On the 31st of March 1679, an order of the Lord Lieutenant and Council was sent to the Lord Mayoi- and Sheriffs of the city of Dublin for dissolving and dispersing the meetings in several mass houses in the city of Dublin, and not to permit any Popish services to be celebrated in the said houses or other public places within the said city or suburbs and to apprehend and commit to prison such as shall offend until they find security to answer at the quarter sessions. " Letters sent from the board to the chief magistrates of the several corporations of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Kingsale, Wexford, Athlone, Eosse, Youghall, Clonmel, Galway, Kilkenny, Drogheda, for suppressing the assemblies of the Papists and prohibiting the celebration of their Popish services within and without the walls of the said corporations. " Letters sent from the board in order to the removing of all Papists, inhabitants out of Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny, Clonmell and Drogheda, except some few trading merchants, artificers and others necessary for the said towns and garrisons the same being the principal in the kingdom where the Papists are most numerous : " — 5 April 1679.

I hope any thoughts of disturbing them hereafter are laid aside, and that the signification of his Majestie's gracious intentions will be authentically communicated. That the commission would be laid aside or suffered to extinguish, I prognosticated from the time I was admitted into it ; and that some had done their work under the shelter of it, you know who has got a pension and that Sir James Shaen is forgiven £4,000 he cheated the King of in his transaction with Londonderry for the purchase of the customs of that place. If the calculation of my lord of Ranelagh's undertaking hold good and he his partners turn accountants ; and if some of them scramble off with what they have forgiven themselves ; and he with the Vice Treasurer's place, the castle and lands of Athlone and the reversion of a pension or some of these in reward of his good intentions ; the winter is well ended and the King's affairs and revenue well improved ; and good encouragement given to a set of new projectors. " I can easily guess whose picture you wish I had well drawn but before the parliament rises it is a pity he should sit. " His transactions will be so many, as may appear by his laboured piece, out of which I defy any man to determine what his constitutions, principles in religion, morality or policy are, or what denomination to give him other than that of etc. and so I leave him. I determine, God willing, to be at Clarendon house on the 29th of this month but anything from London will find me here till the 27th." [2.] — 1672[-3], Jan. 22, Burford.—" I return all the foreign letters you sent me with the comfort to you that your trouble of such a barren correspondence draws to an end, my purpose of, being with you on the 29th instant continuing. I am glad to find that the council begins to recover the right which a very long custom had given it, of being consulted with in Irish affairs. I am sure those affairs were never better dispatched then when it was so. My last gave you my reasons at least my guesses why the commission did not pass. Perhaps there may be other and better ; so let it fall gently as my lord Chancellor observes his Majesty's clemency does those persons who deserve harder falls. I cannot be more unreasonably accused of any practice or combination than of such as relate to accounts : my understanding lying very crass to such affairs, but I think, there need little skill in arithmetic, and as little in astronomy to discover that the King is in a fair way of being cheated unless very timely care be taken to prevent it." [3.] — 1674, June 6, Kilkenny. — Considering how frequently and usefully I am diverted by your dispatches I should make oftener acknow- ledgments but considering that my letters can make no other returns I think the seldomer you are troubled with them the better ; provided you are assured, as I hope you are, that I am extremely sensible of your concernment for me and prepared to serve you and yours, and it falls out something extraordinary that I am no less obliged to you for your care of the poor mad fellow that threatened to kill me than for your kindness to my better friends. I have inquired how much of his B 2 260 MSS. OP land I hold, and do wish he were capable of receiving it and managing ^OmonSe!^ it, yet so as that I might not be thought to part with it to him for fear • • — ' of being killed by him, so I may be threatened out of all, to which I do not find myself disposed. " 1 hope my Lord Chamberlain and my son will be i-eturned before you receive this, and will be able to give a better account of themselves than is desired by some. I cannot think them so mad as to venture upon very high things without authentic authority and full instructions." [4,j — 1674, June 17, Bath. — " I think you had not heard from me from this side of the water if your father had not yesterday and this morning visited me and taken the pains so to do from Bristol on horseback ; this vigour of his to another son and in another father would be no compliment. Tomorrow I remove hence towards my ship which has lain almost a fortnight ready for me a1;Minehead; and then ^Iso we part with very good company, which made me sometimes forget and after regret my journey. "My son, Ossory, promises me he will take pains to look upon some of those papers I left in your custody but I cannot depend upon his performance unless you call upon him. These and other things of that nature may make him better acquainted with me than he is ; and if they do but shew him my errors the pains may be worth the taking. " I am able to make little or no remarks upon the temper of the people in this place of more than ordinary concourse. Good pheer, bpj^ling, carding and dancing have been our business. God send us cause to continue innocently jolly." [5.] — 1674, Oct. 9, Kilkenny. — " I am glad to find by two of yours that you are returned to your station and continue obliging me with your letters which make a great part of my divertisement. " He must be a very ill natured enemy that can be glad of my Lord Chamberlain's'^ loss, and he is a worse natured friend that is not heartily sorry for it. In such cases we should put our selves into the condition of the suffering party and so proportion our trouble for it. I am glad to hear our friend the Earl of Castlehaven was so well as to be at the reconciling interview between the Prince of Orange and in so good consideration with the latter as to be called to it. When the heat of action is over, I suppose mediation for a peace will Take place. Thank God I am not so ill a Christian as not to pray for it. " It is inconvenient to my Lord Derby's affairs that I cannot recover the state of his cafe and Sir William Jones' opinion on it, wherein he took so much pains, I am ashamed it should miscarry by me." [6.] — 1674[-5], Feb. 17, Kilkenny. — " I should sooner have told you that all yours, including that of the 6th instant (which is the last I could have) were received, but that I was willing to confine myself to whether any encouragement promised to Mr. Nelthorpe^ and his partners in the design to set up manufacture in Clonmel (and other parts where I have interest) had been withheld or not performed which I the rather hope could not be, because I had a letter from Mr. Nelthorpe giving me thanks for the encouragement which by his chief agent he found I. had given them to go on. And since then no application for any further encouragement or better performance hath been made to me. "It is my great grief that my brother, Mathew,^ and many other of my relatipns are Papists ; and I would go far and do much to make them ' Henry Bennett, Earl of Arlington. ^ See Sixth Eeport of this Commission, Appendix, p. 713. ' George Mathar. 261 other ; but in the meantime our difference, in my opinion, cannot remove MSS.-«y our- relations to a further distance ; and T think ought not to abate our 'q^kmoiS^I? natural affection ; and therefore finding him exceeding capable to manage — my affairs, and being very confident that his natural honesty (which I hope may be found in many that dissent from us), his kindness to me and care of his credit will make him faithful and diligent. I have trusted him very far in the affairs relating to my estate with good success, and shall do still ; the rather that I find him equally careful of my concerns whatever religion the parties are of with whom he has to deal. I confess he lies under some disadvantage by his ; for , if a Protestant (under which name all that are not Papists will needs marshal them- selves) have not his will how unreasonable soever it may be, the reason presently is that my brother, Mathew, is a Papist. Supposing at the same time that I am incapable of seeing or doing any thing of myself, but had given up all my faculties to him, which is in no degree the case, I have been upon this subject because it may upon some other occasion come in question. " Those who have offered Mr. Nelthorpe greater encouragements then I can allow without much inconvenience, know best their own abilities and affairs ; and it concerns him to be well satisfied of their performance. I shall as near as I can suit my promises so as to be able to do more rather than less than my undertaking. '• I must still disclaim in having been any thing more than passive in Mr. Purcell's several imprisonments. If to threaten the lives of the King's councillors and servants with impunity and without any pro- vision made for their security, must grow in fashion, I have been taught to look to myself and may shift as well as another. And though I would be glad to do something charitably for that poor man, yet I confess I have something I know not what to call about me that gives me a reluctancy to do what may look like purchasing my safety, as it may be interpreted ; and b3sides I would have no part in shifting him away upon the approach of a ParKament, of which worse use may be made than of any thing he can say, or than his visitants can say for him or against me. " Your father^ made me a kind visit the last week and came in worse weather and without those accommodations which I doubt you would not so well have borne. I am this day wiiting to him to know if the ' Norwich ' be in that harbour and when she may be ready to land me at Milford or if she can be so long spared from her station in the north. I have formerly written to my son, Ossory,^ with the assistance of Mr. Pepys,^ to consider of my transportation, desiring if possible that some vessels of the King's may be directed to be in the river of Waterford by the 10th of March. I have desired it so soon so both to give allow- ance to cross winds, and also, if I can, to be able to spend some days at the Bath, the waters whereof are represented me as the best remedy against the spleen, which hath troubled me much most part of this winter. . . " I saw the copy of a letter from a person. of honour in this kingdom to Mr. Pepys, most obliging to your father, yet written in the old stile. " Since I had written thus far I find that Mr. !N'elthorpe's agent here is unsatisfied and has unsatisfied turn, because a clause in my demise to him was to be inserted, that in case the manufacture should not go on what I had let for nothing in consideration of setting it on foot, should revert to me, the consideration had, and an equal valuation to be made, of the charge of building. And then he to Lavs the refusal ; a piece ' Kobert Southwell of Kinsale. ^ Thomas, Earl of OsBory. •■' Samuel Pepys. 262 M8S.

But if Mr. — ' Nelthovpe will say what he will lay out, and give good security sa to do within a reasonable time nobody that can or will perform shall outbid me for his custom, but for a bare essay what he first desired and. I have done I take to be sufficient. " You will find by my Lord of Orrery last letter to me what my last to him has produced, and how far it is an answer to it. The best is an- expostulation seems near a period ; for his letters grow shorter, and I shall give no occasion to enlarge them. Yet I will contrive to correspond, with him in what may really concern and advantage the public service. It is pity that we who so much want a reinforcement of good English- men, dare not propose the sending over some of those seasoned troops and companies that must now be disbanded. If we had two or three thousand of them and wherewith to maintain them, and provisions, of war to make them useful it would make it liard to invade us with success, and impossible for any to rebel in this kingdom, but to their own destruction. I wish it were as easy to persuade the Parliament there to let us have them as it would a Parhament here to provide for them, but this must pass as a pleasant vision. " Lord Burliugton,! having taken pains to bring his brother Orrery^ and me to a better understanding than for some late years had been betwixt us, I held it fit for me to give him some account how and by what fault, his wishes in that particular were like to be disappointed, and his labour frustrated. With this goes a copy of my letter to my Lord Burlington,, to whom, I suppose, his brother will not fail also to write on the same subject." [7.].— 1674[-6], March 3, Kilkenny.— « Though I am not absolutely free from suspecting there may be a possibility that the Parliament will not meet this next April, yet I prepare as if I were very certain it would : the means of getting over with some decency and as much security as the adventure will bear, I am not yet assui'ed of. If I knew I could have none from thence I might perhaps fit myself from Dublin, but I am unwilling that two vessels should attend when one is sufficient. " I am told Mr. Nelthorpe himself is expected here to visit the begining of his designed manufacture. I think he does wisely, for the representa- tions of undertakers or agents are not always safely to be relied upon ^ however, I send you herewith the substance of what was desired by way of encouragement and what I have done beyond what was desired, that you may judge of the difference, and if yet more shall be reasonably proposed, I shall not be found backward. By the copies of two letters from the agent to his principal, my conjecture of his undervaluing of what I had done for them appears well grounded and by his saying that in four days he could not get to speak with me, I guess he does not over strictly tie himself to trath. For I dare confidently to affirm that no man ever staid so long for an audience from me that he had a mind to speak with me and come to desire it if I were then in health and in my wits and 1 thank God I was never so long mad or drunk. " My Lord of Meath^ is preparing to pass over with his articles and being (as he certainly is) made a tool of (such as my friend Hudibras says, knaves make use of) I do not doubt but he is well instructed ; but to what points of accusation I know not, only I suppose the heads must principally be the mismanagement of the public treasure and prodigious ' Eichard Boyle. ^ Eoger Boyle, Earl of Orrery.

[8.] — 1677, Aug. 19, Conway. — "I have so punctually kept my stages and you have so well remembered them that I have received all you writ me since we parted, particularly tliat directed hither with the copies to Sir Gabriel Sylvius and that from your correspondence at Brussels. It cannot be denied that the King of Spain's subjects in the Netherlands are great examples of loyalty to their prince, and therefore as great objects of compassion in the misery they have sustained, and are like to undergo whether they shall submit unto or contifiue to resist the power of France. In both these considerations I can forgive the extravagance of their suspicions where they discharge their rage against those who really pity them and went to hazard their lives ami that ^■ery voluntarily in their defence, nor do I blame the Spanish ministers if they have (as far as they could) rather improved than rectified the mistake, since a right understanding of the true ground o all miscarriages could not but produce much danger to themselves. I know not what or rather what not to apprehend from the dismal conclusion of this campaign in relation to the confederates and the Spanish Netherlands ; but to look nearer home I hope so gross a jealousy as that which presses the people of that country wiU not be taken up there of our volunteers ; however I would be glad to hear he were on this side the water, that he may not be in danger of being stoned on that side whilst he is put to make apologies on this for his readiness to engage in that service. " As a justice of peace I shall this day dispense with myself and in the afternoon endeavour to pass under the mountain to Beaumorice and the next day go on to Holyhead, where a yacht and a dogger boat are by my Lord of Essex's^ favour ready to transport me, as I am informed at Chester by a letter from himself which though written on Wednesday night was with me on Friday noon. " Before my departure from London, I think it was that morning, my Lord of B.anelagh2 told me there was some occasion for his deputy, Sir John Champante, passing into England, which he told me in a way of information, yet so as might be understood to desire a permission at least an approbation. I answered to this effect, that for a permission I could have no authority to give it till I should have received the sword,^ but that I saw no objection against it, but that I supposed in that case his Lordship would appoint some other to act in his place. In my letter to my Lord Lieutenant from Wickham I prepared him for such a request which I thought Sir John Champante might be encouraged to make by the next day's post upon the discourse my Lord of Ranclagh had held with me upon the subject ; and so it fell out, for in the afore- said letter of the 15th from my Lord Lieutenant I find Sir John had made the request, but his Excellency not thinking fit to determine it of himself brought it to the Council where the request was unanimously refused. Sir John having been first called in and having (upon the question being demanded) answered that there was no body deputed from my lord of Kanelagh to act as deputy in his the said Sir John's absence. I give you this state of that matter least it should be suggested that after I had approved of Champante's coming into England, which was no further than I have mentioned, 1 had also written to my Lord Lieutenant to prevent it. I know what reason I have for this caution. If my son Ossory be with you shew him this letter."

" I am not yet convinced that any inconvenience can attend the proposal or rather agreement for the advance of three months' pay to the army here, which is not fully recompensed to the king and army another way. And I have by this post owned to Mr. Secretary that I persist in that opinion with such reasons as do till I have better on the other side, satisfy me. That 0. Q. may be too busy I easily believe, and that he had a part in this proposal I will not deny ; but I know it has not fallen into the hands he desired. " When I desired you to shew my letter to my Lord of Ossory I supposed he might have been with you but since he delays his return, and will be first and last in adventures, that desire is past and out of season." [10.] — 1677, September 29. — " I have yours of the 22nd and shall order it as you desire letters of that kind should be ordered. One and that as good a comedian as any in the farce was with me the next day after I parted with you, and I found him prepared, as I thought, to make one at it. I am content to be neither poet, spectator nor actor. As to the other matter methinks it is hard that we cannot be satisfied full nor fasting, and that nothing will content us but to have (what others loathe) thrust down their throats ; the only remedy is to do what is honest and wise if we can light on it and leave the rest to Providence, where it must be left whether we will or no. "Letters of much civility ai;id no less appearing confidence have past betwixt my Lord of Orrery and me and I hope to draw advantage to the king's service from the abilities and leisure he is master of."

Supposing that during all that time the Farmers to make punctual payment according to their contract ; supposing thai the king add nothing to the establishment, and supposing that no part of his Majesty's debts undertaken by the Lord Ranelagh and his partners shall return upon the revenue as some have already done ; and as the undertakers say more must do, they having as they pretend over performed their undertaking by payment beyond and beside it, yet such as 'they were warranted and commanded to make. ''Lf you call to my son, Ossory, he will give you a sight of the aforesaid calculation and liberty to take notes or copies of them which I wish may be in such a friend's hand, that he may be able ' upon occasion to speak on the subject. " I am glad Sir William Petty is satisfied with my reception of him and that my Lord of Essex will place him where he was in the King's opinion, that so I may have opportunity to advantage myself by his excellent parts and conversation."

All I could do was to add two healths at dinner to those we are under obligation to drink on certain feasts of that kind.

" Your testimony has entire credit with mo and your recommenda- tion no less weight ; I shall therefore enquire no farther after the merit and capadty of Captain John Martin. I will only endeavour to find an expedient to satisfy him, and keep myself asi near as may be to the rules I have set myself in disposing 'of commands in the army. For some time past, commands • have either been given or perhaps sold to those who have been strangers to the army or they have been trucked for betwixt the officers .so at last some body came in for money, whereby good officers who wanted dexterity, money or favour were never advanced nor could volunteers, who carry pikes in the regiment, ever come to be ensigns, to the great discouragement of all those who have a mind to learn the trade ; this I have begun to refdrm and hope to- effect it if I am not imposed upon from the other side, as I hope I shall not ; considering how much it imports the discipline of an army to have a due succession observed where some extraordinary case intervenes not."

OP " The change and transferring of interest, and the discords amongst Ora?oNDK°' the Undertakers and amongst the Farmers come so fast on now, towards — the winding up of the plot of the play that my head turns round with looking on, and yet or rather therefore, I cannot distinctly discern what is driven at; when this dagling is a little over, and with the assistance of steadier brains I hope I may see more clearly into the intrigues. " The good Lord of Orrery is, as his friends fear, past recovery. I confess I thought him so ever since I landed and have wondered how he made a shift to walk about ever since. "Ned Scott has had both hard measure and ill luck. His hard measure may be attributed to the Undertakers, and his ill luck to his friends, who either understood not what orders to obtain for him, or had not credit enough to obtain them. I am sure it is not my province to direct in the case, and I really have grown so miserable of the King's money and so afraid of giving myself to be a subject for harangues on the contrary hand that there is no friend so dear to me nor any sum so little that shall prevail upon me to transgress the rules prescribed at the board. '' I confess I have on all occasions spoke as I thought of our Lord Chancellor! and that was with good reverence and esteem, believing him to be a man of honour as well as piety learning and prudence : I fear he has too much of the latter to effect a promotion that will be attended with so much envy if he should have it ; since it is barely being named to it has brought upon him undeserved detractions." [14,] — 1677, December 23, Dublin. — " By an enclosed copy of the report brought to the board by the committee of Lord Ranelagh and his partners' accounts it will appear to you how that matter stands, and that little probability there is that his Majesty will come to have a true knowledge of the state he is in in relation to his revenue so soon as it should be necessary for him, whilst those Undertakers keep themselves in such generalities and reserves. I do not think it will be thought reasonable they should have fresh authority to collect what is or may be pretended to be in arrear in the kingdom, least it should fall out that they should leave a considerable debt on the King and go away Avith the fund that should pay it." [15.] — 1677[-8], January 1. — " I am to acknowledge the favour of yours of the 22 and 25 of the last month in the morning, being to entertain my Lord Mayor^ and his brethren at noon, and in the after- noon at post and pair ; and just now I am assaulted with drums, trumpets and fiddlers. God send us no more dangerous alarms. " I thought it the most proper time to represent the ill condition of things here when the storm seems to be further off than it is now apprehended to be ; but having done so I will make no melancholy repetitions which in the throng of other difficulties may rather distract those at the helm than relieve us. When I see them in a state of relieving us I may then renew my representations. In the meantime I .shall be as watchful as I can and stretch the means 1 have as far as they will go.

" I am glad Mr. Hill has begun his work, but I hope the times will not furnish him with materials for a second part ; if it proves a war with France, I suppose the sea service or a great part of it will fall to our share. In that case I suppose a considerable guard will be designed for the west part of Ireland to countenance the trade that shall be left us, which will be, I fear, so little that unless we be helped off of some of our commodities with victualling of a considerable squadron, and by bringing in of prizes, the Farmers will here be able to continue their payments and the remaining revenue must fall into management. I mention this to you because of the employment you have at Kinsale and do mean when it shall be proper to offer it to consideration elsewhere."

"Since mine of the 23rd which you own to have received, applications have been made by the Lord Banelagh's partners for a new commission and longer time to raise what arrears they say stand out in the country ; but even in that application Mr. Stepney, the only original Undertaker, and that acts upon the place, and Mr. John Hayes do not agree who shall be commissioners, nor in other material circumstances ; but apparently Mr. Stepney's address as it is best authorised so it is more fair, giving a better prospect of securing future payments and of less oppression to the subject. These addresses are sent to Mr. Secretary Coventry with proper remarks upon them mostly by me and the Coimcil, but the dispatch is of such a bulk and could not be made of a less, that I cannot hope it will obtain a time of reading when or very soon after it is like to be re or any assistance from the King towards it after December 1677; but tlris question being less clear than another which would do the King's and his subject's business as well, they desired the other might be put to them, namely whether if the King after the 25 December 1675 or 1677 should remit to his people by act of Parliament what remained then uncollected or unanswered, whether in such case the Earl of Ranelagh and his partners could demand defalcations from the King. And to this the resolution positively is that they cannot. Perhaps I may send you the question and answers by this post though it lie not by me here at Chapell Izod,i though I date from Dublin. " I think I might forbear to return any answer to what relates to Mr. B [ridges] his letter to his principals, till I see what they write to you on the subject, yet by way of advance I will venture to state the case thus. " The Farmers ought to pay all their rent in strictness into the Treasury, but when the bargain was made with them it was well known to be neither possible or convenient, if it were possible to bring up all the money in the kingdom to Dublin, and send most of it back again into the country to pay dispersed troops and companie%r therefore Sir John Ohampante desired in my Lord of Essex's time, bgfore'Mr. Bridges his bargain, that certain sums might be set down to b.e every month paid in Dublin, which was agreed to, and this order I was desired to renew, which I have done, I think without any, I am sure without nmch alterations. And if there be any change it is in favour of the Farmers. Sir John Champante and the Farmers have several times complained to me tliat Mr. Bridges was so strict with them, that he would not give them so much ease as to accept of their best assignments in the best places of the kingdom as Waterford, Youghal, Cork and Limerick. And it being impossible for them to comply constantly with his and all other payments required from them at Dublin, they say this is the reason why they are in arrear. " It is true my order, I may believe, may be understood to give pre- ference to the two lists, but that is as I am positively enjoined by my instructions : and you may remember what weight was laid in my Lord, of Kanelagh's harangue one upon my supposed transgressing of the like instructions in the time of my former Government. Nor does my order, I think, any more tlian imply that the payments setdown'in it should be first paid at Dublin, there beings as- 1 remember, no exclusive words that • can 'be understood' to 'postponeBridges bis payments. In an address of < his for want of payment, he seems. to allege that when payments are not^ paid at the times, his Majesty will be liable to interest. If that fell out to' be sOj either the Fardiers must 'indemnify the 'King' or he. may make use of the -money he shall so pay interestfor, at least this soundalike reason to me. If it be otherwise in the' contract made with either Bridges or the Farmers^ it was very ill wdrded for the King, as is plain • -,_,...,.-.- „,.i,-Near Dublin. ,.. , 275 must all the contracts made for him in England concerning the revenue MSS. or of Ireland have been and I think ever will be. This is enough till the okSot? letter shall come, only I must tell you I cannot bear the clamour of the — army if paying so dearly for punctual payments they should fall into unusual arrears. " The first transmission of bills will be about the 27th of this month. If the King shall be at Windsor and the CouaciJ dispersed, how shall we have them returned time enough to have a Parliament sit in November. I wish you could be here at least for the first Sessions and your nephew, Percival." [29.] — 1678, August' 3, Dublin. — " Since I receivfed yours which brought with it that you had from Sir John James arid his partners in the advance money, I have been trying to bring him and the Farmers to accord amongst themselves. And I hope it will be effected if Mr. Bridges will be content with less than impossibilities. This he and all others must reckon upon that if there were never so many patents in the way and those upon never so valuable consideration, the Council and military lists must have preference, for without them nothing relating to the Government can go on or be safe, Andl yet I am per- suaded those gentlemen will have reasonable satisfaction and suffer no loss. " The first transmission of bills will be with you soon after this letter. They have taken much debate and proportionable time ; and I find pains will be taken to give the English ill impressions .of that prepared for their final security ; not that it carries any prejudice to them, a,s I think ; but that it is thought my work. The best is if they like it not they may lay it aside so they lay not the bills of supply aside with it, which I am confident the wisest and best interested of the opposers will not be able to compass. " I send you the copy of my letter to Mr. Secretary Coventry and of a paper that accompanies it. Yon may make use of and improve my reflections and advertisements as you shall have occasion. But I desire you would not own the having of the copies. This is written in more haste than I am usually in being upon my journey westward next week."

" On Monday I pursue my journey to Limerick and design to be at Kilkenny the 9th of the next month there to attend commands out of England. "This is the single letter I write by this post and therefore if my Lord of Longford be within your reach, I desire you would impart it to him. His Lordship being an engineer and desirous to know how the work goes on, he shall shortly have it in all the terms of art from Mr. Robinson."2 [31.]— 1678, Sept. 11, Kilkenny. — " I got hither again on Monday last the 9th instant, and having written to you from Kinsaie concerning the preparation made for the security of that harbour, I have nothing more to say of my late progress but that I have taken a more particular survey of the city of Limerick than ever I did before, and find it in my judgment to be the most considerable place and the fittest to be most taken care of in the whole kingdom, and so sliall represent it in a proper season, if I can light upon it. " I could not wish the bills in better hands then they are, for as no man can better judge of the equity and suitableness of that for the settlement of estates to the present conjuncture, than my Lord Chancellor, so no man knows better than be how convenient it will be •at this time to give rest to the people from the vexations of the commissions of inquiry, that they may the more readily and cheerfully give the King what may put his kingdom into a tolerable condition of defence ; and whatever my Lord of Anglesey may think of himself or us (who transmitted the bill) most of us know ourselves to be as good Englishmen as he, though not so much concerned for reprisals. Yet for my particular I can say that 1 shall by this bill lose at least 1,500Z. a year, which might have been gotten by this time if I would have tormented the people as others have done ; and possibly if the bill do not pass, I may hereafter put in for my share with Sir Thomas Higons his dog. When any doubts shall come from my Lord Chancellor we shall have all due respect for them and hasten back such salutations as we are able to give with submission to his determination. " I am infinitely obliged to you for your concernment in the affair of my grandson and your purpose not to give it over. If I have not a due value of Mr. Henshaw I desire it may be imputed to my ignorance and want of particular acquaintance with him. I know it is unreasonable to expect from a man of his character and former employment in the world that he should subject himself to the troublesome and tasteless employ- ment of governing and improving a youth ; yet he cannot blame me for wishing he would oblige a family in the undertaking. He need not fear to be restrained or limited in anything that he should judge necessary, much less to be put to any farther pains but to see that the servants and proper masters in their respective arts and duties perform their parts.

And you will inclosed herewith receive a packet for my Lord Chancellor, wherein will be found all that our men of skill can say upon the observations his Lordship was pleased to send me. I will be no more answerable for the sufficiency of these than I would bo for the texture of the bills ; but in my conscience I think they are honestly intended, and if tl^ey are not luckily drawn they are where they may be mended, and they may be sent where I think the King's commands will be obeyed. I am sure I will want of my will if they ai-e not. " We heard here that part of the bargain for the Vice Treasurer's place was that all scores touching the Lord Ranelagh's undertakings should be struck off. But if those due to the King shall be wiped out, and those due upon him shall remain ; his revenue will be in a bad condition, and some of his subjects undone. " If Dates his tale be true, the Jesuits have found a short and sure way to put me out of the Government, but I hope I shall rather go alone than in the company they designed me ; tliough it be the best in the world. " I will cause those pieces Mr. Hill wants to be inquired after and sent (if they can be found) this is one of many letters I have written this day, I must therefore be short."

And being got thus far in my way something earlier than 1 thought I should, I have leisure to thank you for the care you have been pleased to take (after all the toil you have undergone) so perfectly to inform me of all the circumstances of that plot, upon which I will make no reflections or invectives, but. endeavour in my station to do my duty. " Prom Dublin you will know whether Peter Talbot was yesterday taken at his brother's Colonel Talbot's house or no, for there he has. openly lived ever since the Colonel last kept house here, and thence (it is at least pretended) he could not sufier to be removed by any ordinary means of travelling by reason of his great pains proceeding from the stone or strangury. The other parts of his Majesty's order in Council will be obeyed as soon and in the best manner I can by tlie advice of the Council ; and that is it, which now hastens me to Dublin some weeks before I designed my return thither. " I do not think my life of consideration enough to be mentioned or taken care of when the King is threatened, yet I may say Peter Talbot has undertaken or has been assigned much the least wicked part of the tragedy, and that this is not the first time lie has been said to have encouraged the acting of it. 1 James Margetson, D.D., Archbishop of Armagh, died 28 August 1678. 278 M^QtJia'oE : " I tnow not how my time may. be tafen .up at Dublin, a»d the.refore •iOemonde.

In the number of the Council that shall be, it will certainly fall out that some concerned in all the interest you mention will be found though none but officers should be named ; but it will be impossible to dispatch the business of the Council here, with so few as is designed to be of it."

You will see what 1 have at length produced ; and all 1 could obtain of myself to say upon the occasion. If it prove not agreeable to what my friends would have, into which number I desire Mr. Secretary Coventry may be always taken, I do not expect it should be delivered but returned or destroyed. " By the state our last letters of the 17th left things in, I do not see it possible but that some very determining resolutions, must be fixed upon by the end of this week for high points were close driven." [56.] — 1679, June 17, Dubhn. — " You will perhaps hear my letter to Mr. Secretary, ia return to the order of Council, read there ; if not you will easily get a sight of it. I know it is not unusual to require from Governors of garrisons and provinces an account of what men they can spare towards a cam- paign, and many are the circumstances that govern their returns. But few cases have been or can be like mine in all particulars ; they are loo many, and many not fit to instance. This may perhaps have occasioned more caution and obscurity in my letter than will be satisfactory, but I hope I shall be found clear enough in my actions. It is already murmured at here 'that these men they have fed in times of peace and safety are taken from their defence in times of danger ; but I must conclude it proceeds from such as would not have the rebellion in Scotland suppressed too soon ; or from such as do not consider how much better it is to meet a growing enemy betimes, and at a distance from home, than to stay till he gets to his full strength and comes to our doors. " I have not anything to entertain you with from hence at this time.'' [57.] — 1679, June 23, Dublin. — " It was time to send us good news out of Scotland ; the brethren in all parts of this kingdom, especially in the JSTorth, were growing very bold, and ready to come in to bear a part, if those of Scotland bad had success ; but I think they will not be so ready to share in their misfortunes. " It was not possible for me with more care to endeavour to preserve the friendship of that noble Lord you mention than I did : and even in the particular he seems to take so unkindly, I was disposed to do ail that I was warranted or could justify to the King in the conjuncture or to myself in prudence ; this will and must appearif any order shall come requiring the payment of that sum, and if in my own defence it shall appear the revenue was not rightly stated by that Lord nor so carefully managed as it might have been, and that whatever accounts were sent of concordatums, the fund was left in debt, I am not to be blamed." [58.]— 1679, July 2, Dublin.—" I have yours of the 24th of the last, and by one of the 25th from Mr. Secretary, sent by an express, I was assured of the Duke of Monmouth's great and seasonable victory over the rebels of Scotland. I am heartily glad it was obtained by the loyal courage of his Majesty's subjects of that kingdom, a circumstance of great dejection, I hope, to the disaffected in the other two. I was so hopeful that God would bless the King's arms with success, that I took early care to lay hold on all stragglers that after a defeat might fly for shelter into the North ; and it hath already had some effect, and I doubt not will liave more. I am in hope that the leisure this victory may afford his Majesty and his ministers will be usefully em- ployed to prepare against the like or any other dangers at home or 289 from abroad ; and that in consultations of that nature, some thoughts MSS. of will be bestowed on tbis Kingdom, which I think needs only authority ot^oi^omTs. and directions to provide for its own security. I have, as my duty binds — me, taken this occasion to mind his Majesty of proper persons of it, and there left it, as I will at this time any further troubling of you." [59.] —1679, July 5, Dublin.— "I have two of yours of the 28th of the last, of which that written in your own hand requires my answer. The enclosed copy of my leiter to my Lord Essex,i will let you see I have desired the return of the draughts I sent long since to be drawn and signed in form, or that the Lords of the Treasury would vouchsafe to let me know what they object jigainst them ; and this I think is but a reasonable condescension towards any man in my station ; though the subject of my dispatches did not so directly and highly concern the King's service. " I hope the original of this copy I seud you may produce at least some answer, the want of which for so long a time I rather impute to the importance and multiplicity of business nearer home than any neglect of the affairs of this kingdom or of me, who have the management of them. " My instructions and the establishment require that when there shall be any defect of money to answer all the charge upon the revenue, the pensions must in the first place suflFer the disappointment : and whoever is found in the catalogue of them by the general rule must either be- wholly unpaid or to bear a deduction in proportion with others in his- case ; if that will even things. " But since it is impossible with certainty to know what defalcations out of the pensions will make ends to meet, or rather since it is upon the matter evident, that the stopping of all pensions will not these- twelve months bring the revenue to answer the establishment as it is now enlarged, not reckoning the expense of Kincorran.i I thought myself indispensably obliged to give order that pensioners should not for the present be paid, wherein I was the more early and positive when I found difficulty was made of allowing me a discharge for the expense of the northern expedition in 1677, and when I remember how rhetori- cally my Lord of Ranelagh charged the great arrear I left the army in, when I last governed here, upon my mismanagement. " Mr. Secretary Coventry has given me occasion in the case of my Lord Oastlehaven to oifer something to his Majesty upon this step of pensions which may produce directions in the case of my Lord Courcy, but whatever happens you shall not lose what you have or shall advance- for his supply. " I hope T am not your first informer of the death of your good mother ; but you who have borne a more unexpected loss than this reasonably could be, cannot need the cold consolation I am able to minister upon such an occasion ; if it be any to you, that I take the part of a true friend in all that concerns you, you may be most sure of it. " I am not able to judge whether you will not so far want the care of so excellent a manager of your affairs here as your mother was, as to- change your purpose of going to Tunbridge, and employ the vacatioa you expected, in a voyage into Munster. In that case I hope you will' have leisure to come as far as Kilkenny. " In the meantime I cannot blame the thoughts you have of retiring from public affairs, having myself the very same ; but I draw near that age that almost obliges to a recess ; you, I hope, have many more years 1 Seepages 325-327.

I ..^■rr- add to this consideration that one of the reasons that would induce you to sell will hinder others from buying, at least at any reasonable rate. " Thank you for giving me a share in anything that relates to you, and will think myself more obliged if you tell me how I may, with any advantage to you, shew that I am your most affectionate and humble servant." [60.] —1679, August 24, Kilkenny. — " I made no great haste to answer yours of the 9th of this month, believing you could have little use of a return till yours to London ; which I guess may be about this may get thither, where if you find the story of my having written to the King so disadvantageously of the Protestants of this kingdom still insisted on, you may make what use you think fit of the inclosed extract of my letter to Mr. Secretary Coventry, which may have given any colour for such a report, for to the King I have not written twice since I last came into this Government, not once since the discovery of the plot, and never concerning the Scottish rebellion. " With those extracts you will have a copy of a joint letter from this Council and me, which I hope will not only be a very full confutation of that malicious and irrational calumny but a seasonable manifestation of the duty and loyalty of all that deserve the name of Protestants in this kingdom, which if a few fanatics will needs usurp and appropriate to themselves, I do not doubt they will find themselves as much mistaken in their computations as they are in their opinions. " 1 will cause a petition to be drawn and transmitted with my opinion which being solicited there will obtain his Majesty's directions for the payment of my Lord Courcy's pension,unless my Lords of the Treasury shall obstruct it there. " I have received copies of their Lordships' report upon the several letters I desired from his Majesty for his service and my own exoneration. In it I find the restriction you mention or rather the liberty I desired , restrained, but, with all respect to their Lordships' judgments and authority, I think very unnecessarily, for since it is or may be, if they please, apparent to them, that 100,OOOZ. more than we have in prospect, will not answer the charge of providing ammunition, building and repairing of forts and store houses and providing and mounting of guns for forts and a marching army. I say since all this is or ought to be known to them, representations of all these necessaries and defects lying before them, or where they may have them, I suppose it is rather an extraordinary or unusual trust, if it should be left to a. Lord Lieutenant to dispose of two or 20,000^., towards the doing of that work, which he, upon the place, would judge; fittest first to be done. " And yet that was not all or the principal reason why I desired that letter ; but to free the Ejng from the importunity of pretenders to pensions and bounties, and to appropriate the overplus when any should be, to the uses aforesaid which stand in need of more than we can hope for out of the revenue of this kingdom ; though the present Farmers^ should continue to make their monthly payments never so punctually, of which there is no certainty, but rather much doubt. " And to justify _ my apprehensions and desires upon it, it has fallen out that since I desired that appropriating letter, what 1 apprehended is come to pass. Several orders are come, charging payments on the over- plus, and many more I expect, all which had been prevented if I might ' Of the revenue. 291 have been trusted, (not with the money) but where to employ it when MSS. oj it should come in. oe^^Tspk. I confess m this I depended most on my Lord of Essex, who must be -^— pi-esumed lo remember how empty he left the stores, how ruinous the store houses and forts, and how utterly unprovided the whole kingdom of all things that belonged to war, but the ba,re bodies of men ; and very many of those antiquated and unserviceable ; and in this state it must continue till there shall be wherewith to mend it. " I have heard more than once of his Lordship's exceptions to that item of 700^. for cleaning of arms, to which if he would have added that of fixing, it would not have appeared so unreasonable, for the number fixed is about 6,000 and will arm with the addition of pikes, which we also have provided, 8,000 men completely ; and that is worth 7,000/. Nor had the item been now so great if in five years his Lordship had thought it worth his care. " He cannot but also remember how often he complained and how much he was discouraged when he found any inconsiderable sum that seemed to be saved from the establishment, begged as soon or before it was due, but the tables are turned, and so end your trouble and mine for the present." [61.J— 1 679, September 27, Kilkenny.—" I have yours of the 20th and congratulate you on your return to Spring Garden. It can be no great matter whether you find, at least whether you answer, any letter I writ you from hence, the copy you mention must be of a letter in my vindication against a false report raised of me on occasion of the Scotch rebellion. It has been thought better to disperse more copies of it than to print or yet to produce it in Council wherein I acquiesce. "If it were not too late to put on the armour prepared against the next conflict (as I think it is), yet I am convinced that it would be of no defence against the great guns that are expected, at least to me, who know no reason why I should fear anything beyond the changing of my station, and I have the vanity to think it may concern others more than immediately it does me, that I should hold it for a time. It is true it may therefore concern others to remove me, but then a yellow horse will not bear me off unless the rider sit fast. " I would be glad you could see Oxford for I am told the youth there needs good advice and I fear there are some that give him bad, and infuse into hita other thoughts of himself and family and fortune than will do him good. I have endeavoured by letters to caution him against the poison of such vanities, and the pride, sloth and iU nature they would produce. These documents fortified by your prudence, and assisted by the kindness I hope he has for you, may do good. If he be fond of being out of that place it may be told him the shortest way is to make haste in his studies but you will best discover his inclinations and apply aptest councils. [62.]— 1679, October 8, Dublin.—" I do not doubt but that yours of the 30th of the last is as perfect a description as could be made of the face of things as they then stood ; and I think there can be little variation tUl the Parliament shall meet, unless it may be in the time of their sitting. " I find that the informations of some masters of ships, taken upon oath at Cork, having been transmitted into England by my Lord of Orrery, have there made a great noise, of an invasion of this kingdom suddenly lo be expected from France, and of a shipload of arms that were to be imported to arm the Irish Papists for the reception and assistance of a French army; and the ship was ^amed that was to T 2 292 Marquis ^™g and land these arms in some place betwixt Waterford and OP Obmohde. Dungarvan. It fell out, that I was at my house at Carrick when these informations were sent me by my Lord of Orrery, within less than 20 miles of Waterford and Dungarvan ; and though I did not believe there could be any such preparations on the French coast, as to transport an army fit to invade a kingdom, but that we must have some- other kind of intelligence of it, and that out of England ; and though it seemed very improbable to me that such a number of fire arms (5 or 6,000) should be consigned to such a part of the kingdom, where oar troops and companies, both of the army and militia lie thickest, and where the country is well inhabited by English. And though I found my Lord of Orrery had taken the alarm warmly, and had issued suitable orders, yet I immediately sent mine to the same effect, and all we can yet find is that the vessel mentioned to bring the arms is since come into the port of Waterford, but upon strict search found to be laden only with salt. " We are informed that this good Lord is fallen dangerously ill,^ and I believe it the rather that amongst others some of his own family have already made applications to succeed him in some of his employments ; yet I have reason to believe that before he fell into the state he is in, he sent over some notice of a conspiracy for the raising of a rebellion in this kingdom, and that about Limerick. The informer is a gentleman of the Fitzgeralds, a Protestant, to whom the design was imparted some years since but as he says continued to this time ; the sheriff of your county gave me notice of Fitzgerald's desire to inform me of all he knew, and thereupon I sent for him and the sheriflf by the permission of the Judges (for Fitzgerald was then in gaol and under trial for treasonable words) brought him to me to Clonmel j there he gave me in writing, under his hand, whatsoever he could then think of relating to the design, but told me that being much wearied by his journey and his mind much disturbed by the malicious prose- cution against him, he might afterwards recollect more, which he would be sure to come and inform me of as soon as he should be at liberty, which that it might be the sooner I writ to the Judges that he might have a fair and speedy trial. He accordingly had it was acquitted and set at liberty. Yet till about three weeks after his acquittal I heard nothing of him, so that I had caused a letter to be prepared to the sheriff to find him out and bring him to me; but that night the letter was to go, Mr. Fitzgerald came to me to Kilkenny, as I remember the 27th of September, four days before I came thence. I immediately spoke with him and desired him to give me the further account he had promised, but being Saturday night he took tilt Monday morning to bring it to me as he had done his former informations in writing. "Accordingly he brought it, and told me that some affairs of his own required his going into the county of Longford, but that by the 10th of this month he would come to Dublin and there give me yet further information and here I expect him. " But betwixt the time of his acquittal at Limerick and his coming to me to Kilkenny, he gave some notice of the discoveries he was going to make to my Lord Broghill, who sent it to his father and his father into England, where what use will be made of it before I have all that Fitzgerald can say, I know not, but thus that matter stands for the present."

" I have of late been troubled with sore eyes to which this exercise is not a friend, I am therefore just quitting it for that of hunting." ^ [65.] — 1679, November 8, Dublin. — " Proceedings about arming and disarming : " " Though I might take more to furnish my friend with answers to the objections raised against my proceedings for the securing of this kingdom since the discovery of the plot, yet that I may, as well as I can, set them at rest in rny behalf and particularly my Lord of Burlington and receive their opinion of. the defence I make before the meeting of ; the Parliament, I will, as well as I can remember them, set down the reasons why time was given to the Papists to bring in their arms : " Tt must, in the first place, be understood that here, there is no law in force prohibiting the Papists, as such, to have arms or authorising the taking of them from them ; nevertheless considering the state of affairs as they really were, and the terror the English and Protestants were with industry put into, it was by me first proposed in Council that the Papists should be disarmed, presuming that they durst not object to the legality of it, believing that nobody else would do it for them ; and hoping that Jio malicious inferences would be made from thence as if the Government might another time assume the power of calling whom it would a Papist, and disarm them or by parity of reason whoever else it might suspect to be ill affected to the Government. " The thing being resolved, the question was how it might be best and most effectually done. " It was considered that as there are many laws in force in England against Papists, that are not here, so the disproportion in the numbers of the one and the other is very differing. " In Ireland Sir William Petty, our best computer, supposes, there are about fifteen Papists to one Protestant. In England I have heard there is not one Papist to an hundred^ Protestants. So that there it was easy and safe and without question just to disarm the Papists. But to employ one Protestant to disarm fifteen Papists and to execute it all in one day was impossible : and to do it on several days was to give them the warning that is complained of.' " Nor was it found easy to distribute orders for doing the work- throughout the kingdom, without their having notice of it, and time sufficient to hide any arms they had, " How incompetent a number then would the army have been who are numbered with the Protestants, and how safe would it have been at such a time to empty our garrisons, and scatter our men upon such a service, exposing them to the mercy of the Papists if they had arms, and to the loss of their labour and many other inconveniences if they had none or had conveyed them away. " If the Papists had a design to surprise our garrisons and destroy the Protestants and were provided with arms to execute their designs, doubtless no greater advantage could have been wjshed for by him, tban to have left our towns without soldiers ; and to send the army in loose files amongst them to be destroyed even with clubs, stones, swords, and skeins ; and yet so they must have been dispersed, for in a year they could «ot -have- searched all Papists' houses-iu^omplete troops, or companies. "Besides, I am well acquainted with the disorders soldiers are very MSS. op apt to commit under the countenance of such eoinmissioos, how they oE^iSirarDE. have searched for pikes and muskets in desks trunks and cachettes — of two or three foot long; and sometimes mistaken Protestants' money and other goods for Papists' arms. N"ay I have by complaint and proof found that where a Papist had a sword with a silver hilt, the officer would needs interpret the taking it away to be within the proclamation ; and inferior ofQcers have taken away swords and restored them again for half a cob.' " For these and other i-easolis, and pursuant to examples left us by my Lord of Essex upon the occasion of disarming Papists in his time,* we judged it was best to give them the time it was impossible to take from them, and so render them the more inexcusable, and liable to the punishment threatened in the proclamation, if "arms should be found in their possession after the time limited. And we have found the fruit and they the smart of this course, for some arms have been brought in, and some severely punished with whom arms were found after the prescribed time for bringing them in. " I confess it is possible some arms may yet remain concealed in the houses of Papists, and it may be safely affirmed there are, for it cannot come under proof that there are not j and the number may be called what anybody pleases, and credit may be given to it, as well as to the report in the beginning of the rebellion in England that there were thousands of Danish horse hid in cellars. But in all probability if there be any such concealed arms they cannot be many, nor very serviceable, as they must be kept, for I find it hard enough to keep arms fixed in stores and magazines with all the care of officers that are appointed and paid for it ; how then shall they be preserved under ground or walled up in our moist climate. " But it is (and as it is thought unanswerably) objected, that there was a time wlien Protestants were disarmed, and they had no such warning given them. I confess there was a time when some who call themselves Protectants were endeavoured to be disarmed ; but there are many circumstances that difference the case ; though they on whose behalf the objection is made, should be allowed to be Protestants because they are not Papists. " First : The direction was not to disarm them as Protestants, but now the order was to disarm the Papists as Papists without any distinction or exception. 2. " The Protestants, and I think the only true Protestants, and they only were employed to disarm some of those that call themselves Protestants. Whereas to make the case parallel : Papists should have been employed to disarm Protestants as Protestaats ; and they only were now to disarm Papists. 3. " The arms taken from some of the Protestants were not their own but the King's ; whereas those now taken from the Papists were their own proper goods, and nothing but reason of State can justify the taking them from thorn any more then the taking away their estates, and perhaps a good estate in bad hands may do more mischief than three or four rusty guns or cases of pistols. 4. " The >vay of searching for arms was, by experience in the case mentioned, found so ineffectual, and the authority given for it so much abused, that it was thought best now as well as in the time of the Earl of Essex, to make trial of this other way, which has succeeded better.

'"K^ of surprising me in the Castle of Dublini contrived and brought — very near execution, by those who I will never believe to be true Protestants, however they effect and scandalize the name, yet when some of the principal conspirators were executed by due course of law, and that it was conceived that example had taken good effect and that the pretences for that purposed rebellion were discovered to be ground- less, not only all the arms of such as could pretend title to them were restored, but when a war with Fi'ance, Denmark and Holland was pro- claimed, the Protestants and only they were armed out of his Majesty's stores, at his charge and formed into a Militia ; and so they have con- tinued ever since, though the late rebellion in Scotland might have given ground for disarming some in this kingdom that are well enough known to be of the same principles having given sufficient testimony of it. " It does not much belong to me to answer for the price set upon arms and ammunition, having no share in the merchandise, yet I called those who had, to the Board and there regulated it the best I could, computing what reasonable gain was to be allowed the importers over and above the charges of freight, insurance and the interest of their money ; and if people would not buy them at those rates, though a shilling or two more than ordinary in firearms or a penny or two more in a pound of powder, it was an argument that either they did not want them ; or that they were not really in those apprehensions that were represented. However I know not what could have been done more by the Government thau to cause arms and ammunition to be brought and exposed to sale ; and that only to Protestants. " Yet because complaint was made that the prices of those arms were exorbitant, licences for the importing and selling of arms and ammunition have been given to divers merchants, and it is six months since I sent to ihe late Earl of Orrery ten or twelve blank licences to be given to such inerchants as he thought fit ; and I am informed that those commodities -are sold by merchants full as dear as those sent from the Tower; and that without the trials they undergo there."

Now I have a pen in my hand again, let me confess my dulness to you that I cannot comprehend from whence the question about the meeting of the Parliament or the day appointed arises. I see something about it gives — or at least is taken tor — an occasion of great offence. If on the one hand cause is given to suspect it shall not meet I cannot commend the conduct. If there be no such cause given, I cannot see why it should be doubted it will not ; and doubted to such a degree as to importune his Majesty for a binding declaration that the day shall hold ; and to quit their stations because such a declaration is not sent forth, thereby manifesting that the rising of the Parliament is not the effect of the King's desire to satisfy his people and settle distractions, but of the zeal of some his Councillors. Having no part in Council — not so much as to be told whether they tend, this inquiry of mine might perhaps more prudentlj' have been omitted, but I know to whom I write. r-t " It is said my Lord of Ranelagh and his friends here, and by their letters into England brag much of the prospect of his Lordship's coming off upon his accounts with advantage and triumph. " 1 cannot find by his best friends that are in commission for taking bis accounts that they are of that opinion. Witness the enclosed scantling of that matter given me by one of the Commissioners but last night and to that many items are to be added. These gross sums I remember : 24,000/., borrowed by the King to discharge the quarter ending Christmas 1675, And yet that quarter is not discharged by about 11, OOOZ. ; 10,000/. paid by his Majesty to me, conceived to have been undertaken by them ; 6,000/. to the Office of Ordnance in England for arms and ammunition sent hither. This sum the Earl of Ranelagh in his harangue at Council confidently affirmed was then paid, but now it appears the least part of it is not ; 6,000/. to Colonel Lane's daughters clearly within the undertaking, but by the Earl's dexterity and interest transferred upon the last establishment on pretence that the undertaking had been over performed. For this the King has paid interest ever since the establishment ; 4,000/. or thereabouts due to the City of London for the purchase of the Customs of Londonderry. Add these to the foot of the enclosed brief and you will not think it easy for those accounts to clear themselves of a considerable balance resting upon them. '• What is become of the 80,000/. they were to put into the King's coffers and all his debts paid at the end of that farm, or in two years after by half-yearly payments I can give no account of.

From that time I have been in expectation of your return, and was last night assured of it by yours from London of the 10th inst., by the computation of it, I suppose this may find yDu in the country, where I heartily wish you may find the quiet and satisfaction your health requires. " The order for retrenching the salaries of three of the commissioners of inspection is come, much to the disappointment of Sir Eobert Hamilton, who arrived the day before with a recommendation from the. King upon a reference of another pretension of Sir Eobert's, very unsuit- able to the thrift designed, whereof failing as he is like to do, and being in danger to lose what he thought himself sure of, his surprise must be great and displeasing. " The order directs not who shall be left in, nor doth it expressly, give me authority to name, the persons; so that my purpose is, fbr the present, to suspend four of the six, and leave it to his Majesty to determine who shall be the three , standing commissioners. I am by your arguments and my own experience as much disposed to serve Mr. Gwynn* as he can wish, but what shall I say, if it comes to be objected by Hamilton or Wild, that one is continued who never was here to exercise his oflice, uor never can come to do it, whilst others are retrenched that are and have been upon the place. I confess I am puzzled between my inclination and the difficulty of fairly following 'it ; and when men cannot come to a satisfactory resolution, they commonly seek for a good colour to delay it, and that I shall do. I say nothing of public affairs or of the part I am like to bear, or rather suffer in them ; I am at great quiet within, and cannot be iu a great fright." . [;74].— 1680[-81], February 19, Dublin.— Yours of the 12th of this month is the third of yours that lie on my hands unanswered. The two first principally concerned the young Lord Oourcy in relation to the dis- posing of him for the time to cojue, wherein considering the time and all his circumstances it is very hard to advise. 1 See Sixth Report of Eoyal Commissiou Historical MSS., Part I. p. 736, London : 1871. 2 Sir Philip Perceval, Baronet, whose mother was sister of Sir Eobert Southwell.

I would very gladly receive him here in my family, but that it will be hard to keep his Popish relations from him ; and I doubt as hard to keep them from endeavours to pervert him. And if they should prevail upon him, it would trouble me extremely it should be whilst he is under my care. " To travel, his fortune is too small to do it, with any advantage to him ; and in his travels he would be as much exposed to perversion in religion as in Ireland, and something more, by splendid sights, and seeming mortifications of Popish churches and churchmen. " Upon the whole matter I am come to this opinion that he should stay at Oxford till the first sessions of the next Parliament shall be over. During the sitting we must find an expedient to have his pension taken out of the r\ile for suspending the payment of the moiety of all pensions ; and when the sessions is over, it shall be determined what to do with him. " Your agent (whose name I cannot for my heart remember, as I am writing) was with me yesterday, and I then ordered him to go to Mr. Solicitor with your deed of conveyance. Tomorrow I shall speak with the Solicitor and betwixt us I hope we shall fix your payment. I wish all the good success in the world to Sir John Percival in his match and all things else ; and shall be glad to see you both here and at Kilkenny. [75.]— 1681, November 12, Dublin.— " Though yours of the 26th of October is said to have taken a turn to Kinsale, yet I have just now received it. T am glad your passage was so qiiick and commodious and hope your lady's sickness was but a kind stratagem to hasten you over. " Nicholas Armorer and I were this day talking of your voyage and concluding it was lucky, there having been much foul weather before and after it. " The description of the two young persons are very differing, but I believe both true, she that visited my Lord Chancellor with her daughters made a further pursuit after her elder into France, and is returned no doubt much improved by her travels. I will soon put an end one way or other to that negociation and then acquaint you with what it is, " Your correspondent at London has before now informed you of the success of my Lord Kanelagh, and Sir James Shaen. The latter supporting his proposals for a new farm of the Irish revenue, and the other, attacking them as cheats, offered to be put upon the King, and ruinous to this kingdom. " In the meantime we here who are to bear some part in the execution of what shall be determined, and have considerable stakes in the king- dom, do not know about what or wherein the contest lies. But in due time, I hope, we shall in some measure be consulted with and heard. This place affords nothing to be written but what you receive with more speed and certainty from London. [76.] — 1681, December 12, Dublin. — "I have yours of the 3rd instant, and have signed to one part of the account betwixt you and my Lord Courcy, as I shall to an order for the payment of what rests due to you when Mr. Tisdal shall call for it. I have ordered a hundred pounds to be sent to ray Lord Courcy, which I conceive Mr. Joubert should know, that what may be necessary in the first place be taken out bi it, may be demanded. As soon as I hear out of the country from his 301 Lordship's steward I suppose another hundred may be transmitted. I MSB. op believe my Lord Chamberlain's address to his cousins is no secret, but oi^Omondb. what their intentions are is yet a great one to me, and possibly they are — not perfectly well acquainted with their own resolutions ; I can well enough allow this winter to see an end of your negotiation, but towards the spring I shall desire to be at a point. " The ground that my Lord Eanelagh seemed to have lost at the last debate was upon a collateral point, which he forced in, to sustain hia other reasons against the new proposals, and therein would needs suppose that because we on this side were for calling of a Parliament here three or four years ago, therefore we were so still, as if nothing had happened since or been done by the King to change our opinions ; but after all my Lord of Ranelagh's mistake on that point is no ground of triumph to the other side, nor does it make their proposal a hair the better. There is an argument that must weigh strongly on the proposers' side, and that is if the money have been touched and refunding expected, to which any expedient may be preferred. " All I shall say to the matter is that the support of the Government of Ireland is preferable even before the security of Tangier. If they can both be provided for, well and good ; but if one be abandoned, the choice is easy. [77.] — 1682, April 1, Kilkenny. — '' A great part of this last winter I passed here, surprised by a fit of the gout, when I proposed but a week's stay ; and it took me so severely in my right hand that it was long before I could manage a pen with it, so as to subscribe such orders as my place required ; and in this state I was till a little before I heard of the calamity befallen you, which seems to be the most sensible trial of your patience and fortitude and resignation. " And if self interest would let us consider that every day somewhere, somebody is under the like affliction, and that perhaps with circum- stances less tolerable than our own, it might turn part of our grief to compassion, and so alleviate the burthen. " We are not only bom to die, but to misery whilst we live. Truth itself tells us so somewhere, and yet something is provided to render misery and death itself (if not desirable yet sufferable) else mankind would be the most miserable part of creation ; but I wander out of my proper road and usurp an improper talk and figure. God give us grace to mate the right use of all he sends. " I have received the report in the ease of the Lord Maguire : and I hope shall shortly have opportunity personally to acknowledge the favour to my Lord Chancellor and Mr. Solicitor, as well as to you. The King has given me permission for a short time to pass into England, my business thither is to dispose of a youth, my son, Ossory, left me ; and his leaving him increases my care of him, beyond the concerns of a thin family. Though I could not be wanting to provide for succession I make no doubt but other reasons are given for my voyage which became known just as that of the Duke's from Scotland was. When I get to London I shall find means to cause further inquiry to be made after the pictures. I heartily wish all good success to the remedies you shall make use of for the perfect recovery of your health.

At least I have not been sensible in the right way, nor made the right use of former inflictions of the like nature. I hope God will give me grace to do it now. About a week or ten days hence I shall go to Cornbury, and I hope when you hear I am there you will come over that fine country. I am sure your visit will contribute much to the comfort and satisfaction of your most affectionate and humble servant, Ormonde.

Our young Lady and her Lord, my Lord of Derby and his wife and I hope ray Lord of Chesterfield and his daughter will be here this week. I send one to meet the former couple where the worst way begins to guide them by the best it will afford, and you may be sure strict charge is given to the coachman to drive safely and carefuUy when he meets with rugged steps. Thus I am fain to draw as many as I can of these God has sent, and left me together, that I may turn my thoiights to them and divert them from my losses as far as that can be. But I will take care that whatever is^ within, my guests shall find no discomposure or trouble from it. As much as I wish to see you here I would not have it with the least danger of your relapsing by taking cold and therefore I pray let your health be confirmed before you venture on the journey.

Yet not thinking myself sm-e enough of meeting you there till I see yOu, I give you notice I shall be at Badminton, if God please, on Tuesday next and. that by dinner time if I can get the young Jadies up early enough. Colonel Vernon being of necessity to be in Ireland by the beginning of the next term, and fearing to meet with interruption in the ordinary way for Dublin, will endeavour to pass by the Severn. And I have directed him to your house, from whence it is like he may be informed whether there be any vessels bound for Ireland in Kings Soad, or any other part oi the river. I know you will afford him your advice, and the assistance of your servants upon his own account, though I had said nothing. Especially if you were convinced as I am that he is put to these shifts by at least a very extraordinary proceeding against him. [83.] — 1686, April 29, London. — " Your son,'dined with me on Sunday last, and shewed me some part of the good advice you gave hira. " I think he stands in as little need of admonition as any youth I ever saw. I am no judge of his proficiency in letters, but the time I have lived and the company I have kept may justify my taking upon me to say that he will soon know how to behave himself in good company ; and that he is like to succeed in all things he shall undertake. " The Earl of Tyrconnell got hither on Tuesday night ; many of the Protestant officers having command in the army of Ireland are come over with the Lord Lieutenant's leave to shift the best they can for 1 Edward Southwell. 303 themselves. God speed them well, and help those that cannot come to Jf^'Si op expose their cases.

" This day my grandson, Ossory, is twenty-one years old and he .says he will henceforth begin to take knowledge and care of his own affairs. " I think we could not yet hear of Vernon's landing, nor have I heard that his letter is delivered, perhaps it will be time enough when he returns. " There was a petition of Rupert Brown's read to the King at the committee of foreign affairs praying that his Majesty would give order he might receive the 7,000/. in the receiver of the Duchy's hands, but it was not thought fit to grant his request ; for that would imply that the money was in the hands of the proper officer ; and conse- quently that his late Majesty had received consideration for the grant, which would be a contradiction to a main foundation of my Lord Chancellor's decree. " So Brown is left to seek his remedy against Vernon and the receiver, and thereupon to consult his learned counsel. " I am sorry to find from several good hands, that the English and Protestants are so highly alarmed, that they give off trading. I, for my part, think they have less reason to fear insurrection and massacres now than if our King were as much a Protestant as you and I do wish him, at least during his life. My reason for this opinion would be too long to set down, and be of little use. [84. J — " 1686, May 3, Hampton Court.— r" Though I was myself so in- disposed when I received yours of the 3rd of this month, that I feared I should fall into a fever, yet I had that apprehension of losing such a friend as Sir John Percival as added to my disquiet, in which I shall continue till I know how God has disposed of him. '* Though, I thank God, I feel myself much better since my letting blood yesterday ; yet, I intend to stay here out of noise for a few days longer. I am confident I shall never have cause to retract anything I have writ of your .son nor you to repent the fatherly care you have of him. " My grandson at Paris, I am sure, profits in all things I expected ; but he is not come of a book-learned race ; the court and the camp he sh.iU be as well fitted for as his natural parts with so little learning will permit. " That the Protestants of Ireland are afraid and that they do not conceal their fears, I do not wonder at ; but I think they are something mistaken in the grounds of them. It must be by degrees and it will take a considerable time and it will require some art to destroy that interest by juries and judgments, and time produces many unthought of accidents, whereas insurrections or armed power makes short and irreparable havoc. " I am informed out of Ireland by those that have good means of knowing it, that the Kings revenue sinks apace, in so much that my Lord Lieutenant has ordered the Receiver and Paymaster General not to pay any pensions till it shall appear that the revenue will reach to the pay- ment of the civil and military lists ; the establishment directing that the first failure should fall upon the jrensioners, who, for much the greater part, are poor Irish and R[oman] C[atholic] noblemen and gentlemen, and their necessities may sooner pinch them than the expected restitution to their fortunes will relieve them. 304 MSS.

And I am told that the bishop Layborn and all the English R[oman] C[atholic3] are very weary of the Irish priests and friars that pester and vex them here, but Sir John Knight's adventures and zeal (as against Connell) could not then be represented but will, I suppose, be to-morrow ; I shall not be at it."

" Upon the death of a captain of the regiment of guards in Ireland, one Baskerville, my Lord Tyrconneli told me the king would expect my Lord of Ossory's recommendation to fill it up, and that he had been that morning to visit me at my lodgings at Windsor, whither I went to attend the King at the committee of foreign affairs. '' James Clarke has had a letter from Vernon, but all we can decipher out of it is, that he was then at Dublin and that his cause was to be heard the sixth of this month. If Sir John Percival had been dead it would have made noise enough in that place and given him occasion to mention it, knowing his relation to you. I have also a letter of the 8th of this month from my brother, Mathew, that takes no notice of it ; but before this comes to your hands I hope you will have had assurance of his recovery." [86.] — 1686, May 26, London. — " The account you give of Sir John Percival's going out of the world, and the disposition of his affairs he left behind him, shews what he was and what he would have been if it had pleased God to have left him longer in it. Nor was it the least argument of his prudence that he bethought himself in time of what could never be done too soon and gave you so great a share of trust. " The Earl of Tyrconnel is gone towards Ireland but with what powers or instructions is not known, at least to me, nor as I think to others that know abundantly moi"e than I do. " One of the commissioners of the revenue of Ireland by name Mr. Strong is lately arrived here and was two days since presented to the King by my Lord Treasurer. I had little discourse with him. I suppose by this time he has given an account of the state of the revenue in present and in prospect. It is said and I think truly, the last quarter from Christmas to the 25th of March came to more than the same quarter the year before, but I fear that is no good argument to conclude the following quarters much less the following years will increase in the like proportion or keep up to what they have been, for there is some distance of tivne betwixt giving of commissions to buy commodities and the exportation of them and the return of the produce ; and it is like the commissions were given when men employed their money in traffic more freely than it is to be doubted they will now. " This is a melancholy prospect to those that cannot well live in Ireland, nor subsist here upon what they have there. A nd therefore I quit a subject that cannot be mended by ihoughtfulnes.s, foresight or industry. If the charge left upon you shall occasion your passing into Ireland you will there meet my brother George Mathew and with him consult how the favour you offer me of pyed deer may be conveyed to my nearest 1 Richard Talbot. 305 park ; but if not order may be sent to deliver them to my keepers as Mss. ob shall be sent in the most proper season to receive them and that I ; qj, oetotob. think will be after the rut. — ' " To-morrow morning I am for Hampton Court and on the 29th of this month for Windsor, to celebrate the memory of that joyful day,i we have not valued or been enough grateful for the mercy of it, and it is most just we should be put in mind of it by sadder." [87.]— 1686, August 17, Windsor.—" On the 24th of this month the King will be at Badminton and will lie there that night, and the morrow he will be early at Bristol, where he will stay all the next day to view the situation of the "place, and so far and so long T shall attend upon him, to the end that men of quality that shall come to pay their duty to him, may know where to dine and sup ; and there I hope to meet you that you may inform me whom I am to invite, and yourself invite whom you please ; for I would have others, as well as you, know how much you are at home with me. From Bristol the King will take such long journies that there I have leave to knock off and take my own way either to London, Windsor, or Hampton Court,' for those three places are prepared to receive me ; and I have pleased myself with changing my quarters betwixt them. " It is possible 1 may from Bristol seek some way back again that I have never gone and that must be through Dorsetshire, for I am or may come to be, of the number or profession of those who are never out of their way. I should about the time I speak of be at Cornbury ; but our young big lady is not willing I should be so far from her, till she is well laid in the straw ; and 1 caunot ref dse her anything, I think she wishes, if the thing be in my power." [88.] — 1686, October 4, Whitehall. — " The young lady having set me as well as a young gentleman at liberty, I begin my journey to Cornbury to-morrow early ; having just now obtained the King's leave f o spend some time there. " I have it from infallible authority that the next Council day it will be declared that the Parliament shall be prorogued to some day in February. I think I do not transgress the secrecy required, because the thing will be as public as the proclamation can make it about the time you will receive this letter ; and I tell it you that you may see we are not like to meet at London so soon as you computed, unless some- thing else brings you thither. The Duke of Beaufort and his family will by this means be permitted to follow their inclinations to the country, and possibly you and I may meet at Badminton if you cannot "be spared so long as to come to Cornbury. All are as well in the youngei" family as so good a friend as you can wish them. " I think I shall have it in my power to take Sherborn for as long as I desire to have it. [89.]— 1686, October 29, Cornbury.—" Though I believe the Duke of Ueaufort is at Badminton, yet I am not assured of it, and if it were the time of the year for visits and that of my stay here is so far spent ; that I have put off the thoughts of that or any other journey till the ■spring, and consequently the satisfaction of meeting you, for I can guess at no reason for proroguing the Parliament till February that is not like to be the same for a longer day. " I have been to see Sir Ralph Duttons at Sherborn and was never more taken with the outside of a house, nor more deceived when I ' Restoration of Charles II. E 96480. U 306 MSS. OS came in. Two parts of the three being either uot, finished or so fallen oE^mro^DB. ^° decay, that there is not room to receive my family much less my — • friends, though I should retrench the one (as it is like I sliall) and though the number of the other should diminish in proportion, to the little service I can do them ; but that I may get as near as I can I am like to treat the new widow Lenthall for the house belonging to that family in Burf ord, where the want of rooms in the house wiU be supplied by very good ones in the town. " I had the same intimation you had, and possibly from the same hand of my Lord Primate's being at the point of death : but I have not heard since that he was worse than I left him, but that was ill enough to grieve his friends and make it fit for me to take your advice. But I believe all his writings, papers and money (if he has more than he remitted hither) are in Ireland, and in the custody and trust of Denny M!uschamps to the great dissatisfaction of his son, who has not all the confidence in him, that the father has. I will do what I can to recover my letters, if I cannot get them I hope nothing will be found in them that can hurt me or any body else, into what hands soever they may come. " Sir William Petty is not so very confident of the assurance given him, but that he thinks it prudence to secure himself by application to men in power, and if he cannot save all will strive to save one. I brought a cold with me from London and have not yet quite lost it here. I hope by the 9th of the next month the tiijae I propose to begin my journey, I shall be free of it and ready for a new one which that air seldom fails to give those that come out of the country. [90.] — 1686, November 18, London. — "I am got to London and have been here just a week this day, and have yet missed a cold which usually is taken here when men come out of a pure air. " I am the next week to take a shorter journey and stay away a less time. It is to see a little house in Hampshire, and if I like the situation am resolved not to make exception to the smallness of the house, because I shall either be able to build to it or shall not need a bigger. I know the country thereabouts is open and the way to it good; and I am told the gardens are pleasant and well furnished with good fruit, which is an inducement to an old man that must shortly lay aside the thoughts of field sports, and the steps downwards are very natural from the field to a garden, from a garden to a window, from thence to a bed, and so to a grave. " I am glad the good lady is so well delivered of her burthen and in your house ; I wish the family a long so it be a happy continuance. My small great grandson thrives as well as I could wish, and the women take upon them to give him resemblances. " I understand not the mystery how it comes to pass that the quarter ending Michaelmas last is about 7,0001, more then the same quarter last year, and yet exchange continues at 9 in 100. and generally men com- plain of the ill payment of rents. You understand I speak of Ireland and of the Kings revenue. [91.] — 1686[-7], January 13, Hampton Court. — "I have had time enough since I received yours of the first of this new year, to thank you for the good wishes you sent me in it, but being sure they were not confined to that day I thought I might at any time and always make » seasonable and reciprocal return. " Since I heard assuredly that my Lord Clarendon would soon be recalled from the Government of Ireland (if in truth and realityhe was ever in it) I thought it fit for me to write him that the leave 307 he gave me to make use of his house at Cornbury might be renewed, MSS. op being uncertain whether he or his lady might make not use of it. I ov Oemoitee. believe I shall receive his permission, and then nothing but want of life — and health is like to keep me from thence longer than till about the middle of February. "There are several circumstances in the change of Ireland, new and extraordinary, such as are obvious need no mention. But it has been unusual that the Chief Governor and the Chancellor should be removed at one and the same time ; but I think it is without example that their successors should be on the road towards Ireland before either of them know they are to be removed ; and yet I hear it is so in this case. I am taking coach for London, but shortly to return hither. [92.] — 1686[-7], February 5, Hampton Court.—" The last I received from you was, as I remember, of the 22nd of the last month, as I was ready to come hither, and to go from hence to look upon a house recom- . mended to me by many, as a house fit for my purpose in all respects. And I find it has as many conveniences as I can hope to meet with anywhere, except that it is further from Badminton, and I fear something further from Kingsweston, than Cornbury is. It did belong to one Sir Francis Holies, who is lately dead, and his widow liking London better than a house she saw her husband die in, is willing somebody else should be at the charge of keeping it in repairs, and so I am like to become tenant. If I may have liberty of bestowing the rent, we can agree upon to put the gardens into good order, which they much want. My purpose in writing to you now (however I am fallen into the description of a house), is to let you know that I intend to ask the King's leave to begin my journey to Cornbury on the 21st of this month, and having obtained it, to keep that day if Grod continue me in the health I now enjoy. " I do not find there have been any great alterations at London since I went thence ; but they say we should hear of many and great ones in Ireland, if the wind would favour the Earl of Tyrconnell's passage thither. He was yesterday, was a sennight, at the Head,i and I do not observe the wind to have been in the east ever since. Some men but more women are come lately thence, but I think a less matter than the dread of my Lord Tyrconnell will fright a lady from Ireland to London. [93.] — 1687, July 14, London. — "I might something sooner have owned the receiving of your letters and the papers sent with them in May last, having had the use of my right hand as well as of my feet in some lame measure some weeks since. I presume you have by this time made further progress in the work so well begun. If we may account upon future changes by those that have happened in a very few years past, it is possible that what may now be convenient to publish may in a short time be as fitly kept in a box. " It is now above four months, that I have not seen the Court. When the King went to Windsor, 1 was not able to present myself before him and the stairs there have frightened me from going thither tin now, that I have tried my strength and find I can scramble up and down with the help of servants' arms to lean upon. The complaints of want of money in Ireland continue, and the only commodity that yields any reasonable rate is wool.

[94.] — 1687, August 3, Hampton Court. — "Ever since I received yours of the 18th of July, I have been in motion betwixt this place, London and Windsor, and in some perplexity in my mind, by reason of my grandson Charles^ his falling sick of the small-pox at Harwich as he was ready to embark for Holland, in order to go into Italy, and to spend the next winter there. Those that attend him write that the pox have con- tinued growing till the 9th day and that then they seemed to be quite filled and ripened, they would make me believe that he is past danger, but I can never think any body so in that disease till the pox be dried or at least begin to dry, as I hope I shall this night hear at London, his do, whither I am going this evening, as well as to be satisiied concerning him as to prepare myself to attend the King in a great part of his intended progress which will begin the 16th of this month, and reach outright from Bath to Chester and Holyhead. " I expect every hour to have a list of the places he will lie and dine at, when I have it a copy shall be sent you that you may know where to find me. His Majesty will dine at the Duke of Beaufort's in his way from Bath to Glocester, and I design to lie there a night or two at least before the King comes, and thenceforth follow him. " My goods and servants to furnish my house in Dorsetshire are arrived at Pool, which, I hope, will be done by that time I shall think it fit to beg the King's leave to go thither, as long as I have that place my daughter, Ossory, will not need any other country house, if she thinks not that too far to go to ; nor is it half a day's journey further from Badminton than Cornbury, taking the goodness of the way into computation. I have lately inquired into the young people's manage- ment and condition in their domestic affairs, but I find Mr. Pett is either unskilful in keeping or somewhat unwilling to give in an account. Already I find they were considerably in debt, though they were put into a free condition with an advance of a quarter's allowance, all things ibr housekeeping provided for them ; their house rent paid for them Jbeyond my obligation ; and an access of 8001. a year fallfn to them, and this at a season when our rents are so ill paid in Ireland. Pett says he will this week give in a more methodical and certain account, which I have ordered James Clarke and Valentine Smith to take and bring to me.

" May it please your Majesty : "Tour royal brother, his late Majestyi of blessed memory, having taken into his princely consideration some proposals by me offered to his said Majesty in Council, as rules and orders to be established in Ireland for the better preservation of his Majesty's Ordnance, ammuni- tion, and habiliments of war in that Kingdom, the particulars whereof are as followeth. " It being for your Majesty's profit as well as security, to have such rules and orders established in Ireland as may best preserve the Ordnance, ammunition, and other habiliments of war under a check, that your Majesty may from time to time know the state and condition of your magazines and stores in ihat Kingdom ; it is humbly proposed. " 1. — That some oflBcer of your Majesty's Ordnance in England may be commanded into Ireland to take a remaine of all ordnance, ammuni- tion, and other habiliments of war that are in any town, garrison, castle or fort in that kingdom . " 2. — That the master of the ordnance in Ireland may be directed to appoint persons to attend the taking the said remain, that they, as his deputies, seeing the accounts taken, the master of the ordnance may be charged therewith. " 3. — The remain being so taken a copy to be delivered to your Majesty's Lord Lieutenant there, and another copy brought over and lodged in your Majesty's office of the Ordnance in the Tower, to remain there for a check for future accounts. " 4. — That the Master of the Ordnance in Ireland do annually trans- mit a general remain into England, to shew all the expense, decays, or wastes of the year preceding, to the end your Majesty may be truly informed of the condition of the magazines. " 5. — That the most proper places for the making of magazines being resolved upon, they be reduced to as few as may be with safety, for lessening of the charge, and for other considerable reasons. " 6. — That all ordnance and arms (where there is no established garrison) be removed to the magazines. " Which said proposals his Majesty was not only graciously pleased to approve and to give his royal commands and directions, by his order in councU, bearing date at Windsor, the 24th of August 1684. That the said rules and proposals should be observed and put in execution by the Master and officers of his Majesty's Ordnance in Ireland, but likewise further to require and authorise me, as Master general of his Majesty's ordnance in England, to appoint some fitting officers to go into Ireland OS OBUOITDa, 1 Charles II. 310 MSS.

" Particular instructions were likewise given to Mr. Phillips, the engineer, to take an exact view of the several forts, castles, and garri- sons of the said kingdom, and to draw exact designs as well of their present condition, as what might be thought necessary therein ; and to cause estimates to be particularly drawn of the necessary repairs of all, or either of them ; as likewise of the charge of fortifying each place in such manner as he should conceive most advantageous for putting them in a good posture of defence for his Majesty's service. " In return to which commission and instructions by me given as aforesaid, the Commissioners before mentioned have given in and delivered to me the following accounts, now remaining in the ofBce of your Majesty's ordnance, videlicet : — •' 1. — A book, containing the general remain of all ordnance, ■carriages, arms, and other stores and habiliments of war remaining in the several and respective places within the said kingdom of Ireland, distinguished under three columns, expressing what stores are service- able, what repairable, and what unserviceable, together with a total of each nature or species of stores annexed to the end of the book. " 2. — Two ledger books, containing an account of stores received, returned and issued from March, 1674, to the 2.5th of March, 1685, distinguished under three denominations of serviceable, unrepairable, and unserviceable, with specification of what stores are wanting, and to be made good by the respective storekeepers of every place. " 3. — A book, containing the copies of all general warrants and orders for issuing of stores. " 4. — An abstract of what stores are to be accounted for by Captain Montgomery, who was storekeeper before Mr. Eobinson. " 5. — This book or report, given in by Mr. Phillips, the engineer, of the present condition (according to a survey by him taken) of the several garrisons of the kingdom of Ireland, and what may be done for the present defence thereof, as likewise what may hereafter be done, whensoever your Majesty shall think fit to be at the charge thereof, with the particular estimates of the respective fortifications of each place, which are as followeth, videlicet : — 311 " Dublin, Athlone, MSS. ov Duncannon, Derry Woragh, oe^kmIStdb.

Gal way, " Of all which places the said engineer declares he does not find above six or seven, videlicet ; Dublin, Passage upon the river Water- ford, Kinsale, Limerick, Derry Woragh, instead of Charlemont, [and] Culmore upon Londonderry river, that are capable of being fortified so as to be able to resist a considerable army. The consideration of which gives me a just occasion to beseech your Majesty to refer the concern of so weighty an afiair to the prudent circumspection and judgment of the right honorable your Lord Lieutenant and Council of that your kingdom. " The said Commissioners have further represented unto me the necessity of having the several storehouses in the respective magazines of that kingdom to be fitted up and repaired, being extremely decayed, by which means the greatest part of your Majesty's stores, especially arms, have received much damaee. " This I conceived myself more particularly bound to lay before your Majesty and humbly to desire that some places may be forthwith, considered of by the Lord Lieutenant and Council of that your Kingdom for lodging the magazines in for the present, and that fitting storehouses be pitched upon to be well repaired and secured that the present serviceable stores of war may not longer be exposed to ruin. "And finding that the state of stores by the said Commissioners represented, with the several vouchers for the issues thereof, have been so fully examined, that a charge is drawn upon the storekeepers of the several magazines, it is earnestly desired that the same may beexamined further (if found necessary) by command of his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland, and that they would please to see your Majesty repaid the worth of the arms in money that shall appear to have by the said storekeeper been embezzled. " I further humbly move that the unKerviceable stores in any of your Majesty's magazines may be forthwith sold, and the money thereby accruing with so much more as may be necessary, or can be spared, may be immediately laid out for making good and serviceable, the repairable arms, which will be the cheapest and easiest way for supplying your Majesty's army for; the present. And that great- care may be taken to examine and prove all stores that shall upon a' strict survey appear proper so to be done, especially the muskets, carbines, and pistol barrels, which, after due proof, are not to be fixed up in the old fashion, but to be stocked and locked according to the best patterns. " Ifext that till some places can be well fortified, if Limerick and the Hospital at Dublin be approved of for the present chief magazines, it is humbly proposed that the trains of artillery, mortar pieces and the most considerable stores for land service be removed and brought timely thither and well guarded by a good force of men till some places can be made strong. " Likewise that tlie unserviceable and disproportioned old brass guns, now remaining in any places in Ireland, be by your Majesty order to be sent for to the foundries _here, to be re-cast into such serviceable pieces as your Majesty shall please to direct. 312 MSS.

" All which I do now find to be quite contrary, for the improvement of the country hath drained the bogs, and the, passes that were most • considerable are now of no use, neither is it worth while to fortify them as passes, by reason there are several bridges made and new ways across the bogs, and more are daily building, and making for the . benefit of the several counties bordering one upon another, so that it will be to no end for his Majesty to be at the charge to secure all passes, when that there is no stop or hindrance to be put to the : improvement of a country that is arid will be of so great a value to the Crown. " So that according to the best observations that I have made, and having carefuUy considered what is absolute necessary to be done out of hand for his Majesty's service, I humbly refer your Lordship to the following report of each place in particular. — Thomas Phiixips." ' James II. 313 ''LeiNSTEE." MSSi OB Maeqtjis ^ « Dublin, being the metropolis of this Kingdom, and the seat of the °^ osmouvb. Chief Governor, being very numerous of people, and next or nearest port to England, it ought therefore to be secured against all attempts whatever, lest the loss of which may endanger the whole kingdom, for I find not any where all over the kingdom the country so well inhabited, and no want of ill-minded people, which I have well observed upon all occasions, especially at this time. " At present : The Castle or chief seat of the Governor being all in rubbish by the late fire, and when in perfection not capable of securing his Majesty's stores of war, without great hazard of their being destroyed by fire, it being so pestered up with houses, and other offices, both within and without, and that if it were capable of being made strong, it would not be convenient to have the residence of the Chief Governor near the general stores, by reason that all people covet to have their offices, as near to the Court as possible, so that in time the place becomes so blocked up, that the stores become more exposed to danger, than in an open place. " The Hospital at present is made fit to receive the powder, and the train of artillery lately sent over, it being the most entire thing of itself, that is at this time, there being no hazard of fire, and is of an indifferent strength, but not convenient to be continued a magazine, or garrison, it being too far from the seaside, so that it can in no way be supplied, or i-elieved, whensoever need should require it, were it capable of being made a place of strength, which it cannot be, for the several hills that command it. •' And since the Castle of Dublin and the Hospital, as appears by the aforesaid report, to be incapable of being made magazines, or places of strength, fit to receive his Majesty's stores of wai', or to secure the records of the kingdom, it is humbly proposed to build a citadel, as hath already been proposed, but not on the same place, by reason, that if it should be placed there, it .would lie under the same circumstance of being commanded by hills as the others are, for the strand of Ringsend is eighteen feet below the level of the hills of Stephen's Green, and that of Stephen's Green is level with the tops of the houses of the city ; so that whatever charge his Majesty shall think fit to lay out, it must be between the city and the seaside, as the draught and survey explain more at large the situation thereof. And that whereas the citadel staked out at Kingsend, if built there, every foot of earth, stone, timber, and all other materials, must he brought in carts, and the same when built, will be commanded by the aforesaid hills, upon which hills, there rises all manner of materials but wood, and iron, so that the situation itself (not the only reason) but that materials rising upon the place, and the hindrance of the city building that way, which if the aforesaid citadel be built at Ringsend, in time it would become buried amongst houses and hills, as his Majesty's Tower of London is, for that way that build- ings increase, the ground rises by the rubbish, and foundations, which are thrown out of the vaults and cellars, etc. "As for the accommodation of relief, it will be the same thing as in the other place, it lying all open to the strand or seaside.

OS "Mdnsteb."» OE o^^^B. u The fort of Duncannon is a small block house, situated upon a rock, under a hill, not capable of being made strong, nor to receive a sufficient number of men for its defence, it being small, very irregular, and not to be enlarged to any greater extent, without laying it more ^xgosed to the hills over it ; this being all the security that is at present, for one. of the most noble rivers in all the three kingdoms, having a very large and spacious road coming in, above which about five or six miles up, three rivers spread themselves into the heart of all the south part of this king- dom, being navigable for thirty and forty miles each of them, and passes by several of the most considerable towns for trade in,the wliple. kingdom. This river of Waterford, having no place of strength sufficient tO- guard the same, from any attempt that might be made to the destruction of such ships as should put themselves under its protection, or any that shall attempt to invade this province, Waterford having been hitherto a garrison and a place thought fit to lodge his Majesty's stores in, but is altogether uncapable of being fortified, by any charge whatsoever; and were it to be fortified, it would be uncapable of relief, being so far up in the country. " And since his Majesty's stores of war which for the defence of this kingdom, are in several places not sufficient to keep them from surprise, or out of the hands of those that might make use of them, to its destruction, it is humbly offered, that a place below at Passage, where the entrance of the river is so narrow, that no ship whatever can pass, without great difficulty, if any place of strength be raised there, there being a hill which is capable of being fortified, and fit to be made a garrison at a small charge. " This hill having none that commands it, being upon a rock, and at the foot of it, is the town of Passage, and a fort built by the Spaniards for the security of the river, in which place is a battery to be made for the hindrance of shipping coming up. The King hath near two thousand acres of land lying about it, which belongs to the government of Duncannon, this being completed according to the design and estimate, the same garrison that is at Waterford will keep it against any army whatever, it being capable of being relieved with great ease. This will be sufficient for this place, the estimate is 41,788/., the charge of a chain and boom included. " Cork harbour being the middle of the south part of this kingdom, and one of the most convenient places for an enemy to invade this kingdom, having a very large island in the middle thereof, fit to receive 100,000 men, and may be kept by 10,000 against the like number, there being several islands and places which are naturally strong of them- selves, which would invite an enemy to attempt it here above any place whatever, where nature itself hath done so much work already to their hands. " Although it is to no end to fortify and secure all places that seem convenient for an enemy to make their descent into a country, yet it will be necessary that some cai-e be taken in the most convenient places, that might give a stop to an enemy, till such time that a force might be brought against them ; so that it is proposed, to secure the passes that go from the Great Island, on to the main, and a boom and a block house ■upon the Hawlboline to secure the channel or West Passage, another boom at the entrance of the East Passage, which redoubts or blockhouses will cost 14,198/. each with the booms, and if his Majesty shall think fit to secure the whole harbour it must be done at the mouth of it, which wiU amount unto at least 70,990/., according to the design drawn upon 315 the ground plan of the harbour, which if done the other may he m^S. ob omitted. p'o^"^''db " As to the city of Cork it is the second place of the Kingdom, both — for the number of people and trade, and the city itself being incapable of being made strong, by reasons that at either end the hills command it to that degree that no person can move in the streets, one of •which is at Shandon Castle, the other where the Old Fort or the Hill called th6 ' Catt,' the latter being not commanded by hills just over it as the Shandon is, will be the most proper place to erect a place of arms for his Majesty's forces, that shall be quartered at this place, and to lodge the stores in, which at present are in a very dangerous condition, being amongst the middle of the houses in an old tower decayed. " The strengthening of this place may be a cover for all this part of the kingdom, by reason of lyiiig near the centre, and are within a day's march or less, both to the east, or west, to the relief of the other portsj as Youghal, Dungarvan, etc., and Kinsale, and others to the westward. " The whole charge of fortifying the harbour, and the magazine, or citadel, over the city amounts to 70,990Z., as aforesaid. " Kinsale : The harbour is not comparable to that of Cork, but only for the conveniency of being soon out, and the town lying so near the entrance of the harbour that it is the more ready to supply merchant ships that come in to victual, etc., and it being a little more southerly than the other ports, is all that can be said that might induce his Majesty to be at the charge of securing of it. I know no reason that his Majesty be at an extraordinary charge for the security of this place, more than any other, when there are several other harbours of larger extent and deeper water, which are quite neglected, and full as convenient as this, for the defects of it are as much as the conveniences, for it is narrow and shoal, and daily will be so if not prevented, for with the same winds as brings you out of this harbour, doth the same out of all harbours on this side of the kingdom, being not capable of receiving so great a number of ships as it hath been formerly and daily as our trade increase our ships grow bigger, and merchant ships now draw more water than ordinary ; as for its security of ships, if the boom be well made as it ought, (as I see none that are in all our three kingdoms,) and ff well placed it may prevent and give a stop to an enemy that shall atten^t it. As to the present condition this harbour is in, as to its security of ships, it is but indifEerent, the boom quite rotten and destroyed, the new Blockhouse or Charles Fort, I. must needs say, is well built, as to the materials, and workmanship, but as to the strength to landward, or its terror to sea, I can say nothing, for it being so very ill situated under the command of hiUs, that it is a very hard matter to cover the inhabitants thereof, on any occasion that they shall have to stand by the guns, or the sea batteries, the hills being so very near, so very large, and irregular, that no work whatever can take the whole in, as it ought to be, to make it a place of strength, as will be more plainly expressed in the draught of the same ; in which I have proposed what charge it will take to close it, to keep it from a sudden surprise if his Majesty shall approve of it, which being done I must needs say, that it cannot be sufficient to resist a considerable force that may come against it, for do all we can, we can never go to the expense of taking in all grounds that command it, and for what purpose I know not, for when all this is done, this Blockhouse is no more to pass by, than a broadside of one of our second rate ships, by whose broadsides we have known small ships to have lain several hours, and I am very confident it is much worse than' the best battery ashore after the first shot, we having not a sufficient 316 MSS. OP number of gunners, answerable to one battery ; although it may be OP Oemonde. answered, that seamen may supply that which is not sufficient, (or land y~ carriage is to a seaman as unhandy as the soldier to the sea, when not used to it, and a ship is a moveable object, and therefore it requires more men, and skill at shore, than at sea ; for one man commands the whole ship, and moves or alters a broadside sooner than guns or platforms ashore can be altered or directed to a ship, so that unless batteries are so placed, and so ordered, that it will unfailably destroy a ship at once, or at least have time, to have several firings, it can be of no effect by the aforesaid reason. " This port of Kinsale will be secured against any foreign attempt that shall come in by sea or land, by having a good substantial boom placed as in the draught, and the securing the pass by Shandon Castle with a small redoubt at the entrance of Sandy Cove, with the repair of Castle Ny Park will make, this place fit to receive the whole country, and keep the whole harbour of Kinsale to itself, for what relief soever, for the charge of 29,202/. " These three ports, as Waterford, Cork, Kinsale being secured, all other harbours, and creeks, are of no use to an enemy upon the south part of this kingdom, in which we must expect if ever anything be attempted, it wiU be there, although there are an infinite number of harbours, upon all the Western part, yet the country so wild, and so barbarous, that there is scarce living for friend or foe, neither will an enemy attempt landing so far from his business, that time might be given, that head might be made against him. " Limerick having been reported to be the strongest place in all this kingdom, it is quite contrary, the walls having gone much to decay, by the neglect of the Corporation, the improvements made upon the bogs hath made the approach to it more easy, it being two towns of an indifferent circuit, and neither of them of any great strength, especially the Irish town, and it would be too great a charge for his Majesty to strengthen both towns, and to lay them into one it cannot well be done without weakening them, for the Irish town hath grounds that command it, and the English town not, so that should the Irish town be lost, it would be the loss of the other, by reason it stands much higher, and there is no coming at the other town well but by the Irish town. " Having considered well upon the place, what manner of strength this place will require, nothing can be more for his Majesty's service^ and the strength of these two places than to have a citadel thab com- mands both, and lay both towns open to it; this place being the greatest inlet, and in the heart of the country, and key of all. the western trade, it is left to his Majesty's consideration, whether it is necessary to strengthen it, it being the most proper place for a magazine, next to Dublin, in the whole Kingdom. " There is also below at the entrance of this river, the island of Scattery, which is very convenient and absolutely necessary that some small charge be laid out for the security of his Majesty's Trade, or Customs, it commands the channel, and one of the most noble rivers in this Kingdom. " In Limerick at present his Majesty's stores lie in an old castle, having two or three files of men to guard it, the castle itself is not tenable, without a great charge, and when done, the town itself would be lessened by it, and the charge of no effect when the main work shall be finished. "Wherefore if bis Majesty shall approve of what is laid down in the survey or plan of the place, or that this place be any way fortified, 317 the charge would be thrown away, so that it is better to do it at once, MSS. op than to be always doing it. The charge of building the citadel amounts oi'omS^'pE to £78,310. — " The Corporation to be questioned for not keeping the walls in better repair, etc. " CONNAUGHT." " Athlone is represented to be the most proper place for a store, or, chief magazine, being in the centre of the kingdom, and the fittest to lodge a train of artillery in, to the relief of all other places. It was esteemed as a great pass, but now, that is out of doors ; for there are several bridges built, both above it, and below it, so that it cannot be esteemed upon that account ; neither can it be made a place of strength, by reason of several hills that command it, and is not in the centre of the kingdom, only upon the east, and west line, the kingdom being at least six or eight days' march longer the other way ; so that there must be two or none, for there will be several other places, more ready to supply the northern, and south parts, than this can possibly do. " This place is only fit to be made a horse quarter, it being the fittest force to relieve any place that might any way be oppressed, and as for a train of artillery, it cannot be in one place alone, by reason of the extreme difference there is in the length of the kingdom, that if it should happen so that the train should be marched into the north, or into the south, either of which would be liable to want succour or help, so that it is not convenient that the train should be lodged in Athlone, when it is not a true centre, and if any disturbance happen, it is com- monly near the sea side, or at least at some of the sea ports, where relief can be given them, and since it is more necessary, that the sea ports should be fortified than any inland town whatever. " It is humbly proposed, that Athlone be only made convenient to receive a considerable number of horse, and dragoons, which are the most proper force to defend this kingdom, and in all the sea porl^ and garrisons, to have the foot, for I have observed the foot to move very slow, especially in some part of this country, where the ways are so insufferably bad. " The Castle of Athlone itself at present is in a good repair, the house itself fi.t to receive any officer whatever, but since there is no allowance to the officer commanding in chief, there is no body dwelling in it, by which means it runs much to decay. " It is not fit to lodge a train in, by reason of its being so high, but if it shall be thought fit, that the said Castle of Athlone should be repaired or strengthened, it must be by taking down half the town, on that side, which will not quit cost. " If his Majesty should be of that opinion to have a place of strength, in the centre of the kingdom, it must not be near the town of Athlone, but at a distance from it, as may be seen in the survey thereof, towards a pass into Connaught, where a very small charge may do that service, if it be tJiought necessary £56,064 being laid out will be sufficient for this place. " Galway is a place of indifferent trade, having gone much to decay by its having a very bad road without it, but being a place of indifEerent strength, and the chief port of this Province, it therefore requires some care to be taken of it, that it might not be liable to a surprise, it is to no end to fortify, or take in the whole circuit of the place, it being irregular, and when done there are several grounds that command it. « It is hurribly proposed, that the upper citadel, be enlarged according to the draught and survey of the town, and that a small 318 MSS. OP redoubt, be built upon tlie Green Hill, and another upon Mutton Island .0B™M^0MDE. *^® latter to be built first, all wMcli will amount to at least £25,418 10*. ~— " The country all this way is wild and barbarous, especially towards the west part, and all the sea coast is full of small liarboui-s and creeks, fit to entertain pirates and for those who shall endeavour to run the custom of their goods, it being not to be prevented, but by a sea guard, which I humbly leave to better consideration. " Ulster." " Charlemont is a pass baviug a small sconce^ standing upon a rising ground, and it is encompassed almost three parts round with a bog, it having been made, in the time of the late war, a considerable defence against an inconsiderable force, which hath given the place a name of great strength, but it is not to be made so, for there are several hills that command it, within shot, it being not capable of receiving any number of men, or to lodge stores in, the fort being not so large as to contain men to defend it, nor house room to receive such stores, as shall be lodged there, " Again it is no way proper to lodge stores, but in places of considerable strength, and that might lie to the best advantage of dispersing them, when occasion shall be into all parts of the Province, the magazine is intended for, to which end this place is no way capable of, that by reason it would be both hazardous and too far about to supply any place of the North from hence ; so that it is humbly proposed, that it be continued as a pass, it being kept by a single company, it is a quarter for two or three if occasion serves, and about five miles below it, at the foot of the river Blackwater, stands a piece of ground called Derry Woragh, it is advanced into the great Lough ISTeagh, which is in the heart of all the North, and being navigable, to all the towns ' and places, bordering upon it ; from whence in four hours time, you transport your arms, to all parts, which by any other means cannot be done under two days march, besides the hazard, and the same charge that shall strengthen, and repair other places which shall not have this accommodation, will do this. "That if his Majesty shall think fit to approve of this design, it amounts to 44,990^., which shall be a place of greater strength, and of greater use, than any place in all this kingdom, it being in the heart of the country, and is at present a place of £dr greater strength by nature, than any I have found artificially fortified, as appears in the draught more at large. " Londonderry hath the appearance of a place of strength, it being capable of being made an island, but when that is done, it is with the hazard of destroying a noble river, which is the nourishment of that city, besides the hills overlook it so on all sides, that there could be no rest for the inhabitants, whensoever an enemy should attempt it. " The place at present is walled round, having .several guns mounted, all which are at the charge of the several Coinpanies of London : His Majesty hath a magazine there, with a small quantity of stores, as many as are fit to be trusted in a place of such indifferent force, or strength to secure them ; this place being much incapable of being fortified, and having no way of relieving it but by the river, out of the Lough Foyle, which is commanded by a small fort called Culmore. " It is necessary that this fort of Culmore, if approved of, be fortified, and taken in according to the works already begun. It will be much to the security of this city, and country, and a place of very great Strength and to be kept with the same garrison, that now is at Derry. ^ Fort. 319 " The charge of refortifying this place of Culmoro, amonnts to mss. op 18,095Z., according to the design if approved of by his Maiesty, there „ ■%^?^'^?i, being no place oi strength in all this part of the kingdom, and here are — two of the most noble harbours in his dominions and a place of considerable trade. "The situation of this place is more plainly expressed in my surveys of the same, leaving room for whatever may be objected to any designs that I have proposed. " Carrick Fergus as doth appear by its situation, to have no command of the channel, or river of Belfast, which is now the third place of trade of this kingdom, but it having an old strong castle, and being fit to receive his Majesty's stores in at present, it hath been therefore men- tioned to be a place, the most fit to be repaired and made a garrison. " But I cannot say much to the usefulness of it when it is so, for it is not capable of having vessels of any considerable burthen come up close to it, besides they lie dry six or eight hours at every tide, there being a very large strand before it, as appears in the draught of the river, being very shoal, and the channel lies above a mile and a half oS from it, but above this place is one of the most considerable places in the kingdom, having never less than forty or fifty sail of ships always before it, the place very rich and numerous, and not well affected, having nothing that can any way give a check to anything that might happen, either by foreign or domestic attempts. I therefore humbly leave this part of my report to the judgment of those in whose power it is to discern more of the necessity of this affair. I only give my opinion as being upon the place, what is capable and what not, the necessity of some beyond others, and as for this place alone, I cannot think that his Majesty should be at any greater charge than to repair the castle for the present, and put it into a posture of receiving the present garrison ordered for this place, and whenever that money can be spared to let the most considerable work be done at Belfast, according to what the survey and estimate make mention of. The repairing of the castle of Carrick Fergus and the purchasing of some houses before the gate, doth amount to £14,703. "The Citadel of Belfast, £42,054." " This report I have made to answer with what hath been already given to his Majesty, and being commanded by my instructions to survey the particular places mentioned in this report, I have accordingly -given your -Lordship my opinion concerning the same. And whereas it often happens that attempts and disturbances seldom are where places are prepared against them, so when if all that we have proposed were -done, to the security of these places, there are yet twice as many more unsecured ; so that it will.be endless to think to fortify all places that require it, for the more fortifications the greater the army, and the greater the number of fortifications, the more the army is dis- persed, and- of less use than in being in considerable garrisons, so that I humbly propose only to strengthen or to fortify six principal places in this kingdom, and that those might be made as considerable as it is possible, and that two trains of artillery may be lodged, one for the north, the other for the south; and in the several by garrisons or harbours that may be thought fit for an enemy to land in, to have only strong boonasj and good redoubts to secure the entrance ; to be done at the charge of &e . province, which will be a safe retreat for such merchant ships, etc., as may upon all occasions shelter themselves in -them which booms or stops, being made at the entrance of the most 320 MSS. OP considerable harbours, will be a work of great importance, to the oi^EMOTTDB. Strength of this Kingdom, from all hostile attempts. __ ■ "Memorandum: that to all walled towns, there is and hath been considerable allowances towards the repairs and keeping them in the posture they were put in, but the same hath not been applied to that use, but diverted to private uses, which if well looked after, I am of the opinion, that it may go a great way in this work.

Again, if the piers be carried out into the harbour, it will unquestionably be the ruin thei'eof, for by some small jettys that hath been made on the other side, hath made a very great alteration in the channel already, and it will be necessary that the ballast or sand that formerly was taken up in the mouth of the harbour for improve- ment of land be encouraged again, for they having had some small duties laid upon them, they go further up the river and take it up, so that there is no provision made to keep the channel open, which if not minded, in little time will grow up so, that what charge shall be laid out here wiU be of no effect. " And it is most certain that the fort of Rincorran or Charles Fort can no way be made to resist a considerable force, when that which is proposed is done.

"John Berkeley. — Whereas his Majesty, by his letters under his royal signet and sign manual unto us directed, bearing date at his Court at Whitehall the 16th day of June, 1671, hath signified his royal will and pleasure in manner following. ' Right trusty and well-beloved counsellor, we greet you well : Whereas by our letters patents under our great seal of Ireland, bearing date the 14th day of January in the sixteenth year of our reign, for the moti"9es and considerations therein mentioned we were pleased to make, constitute, ordain and erect an oifice for licensing of pedlars, petty chapmen or gray merchants in our said Kingdom of Ireland, and forasmuch as by our said letters patents, we did give, grant and con- firm unto our trusty and well-beloved servants George Hamilton, Esquire, now Sir George Hamilton, Knight, and Captain James Roch, their executors administrators and assigns, the said office for licensing of pedlars, petty chapmen, or gray merchants, for the terms of one and thirty years, under the yearly rent of twenty marks of good and lawful money of and in England, thereby intending a benefit and advantage to our said servants, yet we are informed that our said grant hath not hitherto taken effect, nor produced any benefit or advantage to the said Sir George Hamilton and James Roch or either of them, but on the contrary great loss and charge hath accrued unto them thereby, and that notwithstanding the utmost care, publications and other endeavours of them, their deputies and agents very many persons have presumed to go and travail in our said kingdom in the habit or under colour of pedlais, petty chapmen or gray merchants, who have not been licensed according to the provision in our said letters patents made and declared. ' If ay we are further informed that several of the agents authorised by the said Sir George Hamilton and James Roch, or their deputies have been punished by some magistrates for executing the said office or endeavouring so to do, according to the tenor and intent of our said letters patents. ' Our will and pleasure therefore is that you take this matter into your consideration, and assign such reasonable rates and limitations as you shall think fit for the granting of licenses as aforesaid and publish the same by proclamation in our name, to the end that our said officers, their deputies or agents and all pedlars, petty chapmen or gray merchants may take notice thereof. 'And that all magistrates, mayors, sheriffs, justices of thepeaceiand other ministers of justice in our said Kingdom may be aiding and assisting unto our said officers their deputies or agents in the due S37 execution of our said letters patents for the punishing and suppressing mss. or of all such refractory persons as shall exercise any of the said trades or qj^'^^Je. professions until they and every of them shall be first licensed as afore- — said, and for so doing these our letters shall be your warrant. ' Given at our court at Whitehall the 15th day of June 1671, in the three and tvrentietli year of our reign, by his Majesty's command. I. Trevor." " Now we, the Lord Lieutenant, in pursuance of his Majesty's said letters unto us directed, do think fit hereby to assign as a reasonable rate and limitation, that every person who doth or shall go and travail in this kingdom, in the habit or under colour of or as a pedlar, petty chapman or gray merchant shall pay yearly, and every year to the said Sir George Hamilton and James Koch, their deputies or agents, according to, and during the term granted them by his Majesty's letters patents in the said letters mentioned, such sum or sums of money as the said Sir George Hamilton and James Roch their deputies or agents shall think fit, not exceeding in the whole the sum of twenty shillings, sterling, per annum for every such person that doth or shall go and travail in this kingdom in the habit or under the colour of or as a pedlar, petty chapman or gray merchant, the first year to be accounted and begin the day of the date of this our proclamation. " And we require the said Sir George Hamilton and Captain James Koch, their deputies, agents, and assigns as also all pedlars, petty chapmen, or gray merchants to take notice hereof, and that all magi- strates, mayors, sheriffs, justices of the peace and other ministers of justice in this his Majesty's kingdom of Ireland do take special notice of his Majesty's royal will and pleasure signified unto us, in and by his said letters, and that they be aiding and assisting unto his Majesty's said officers their deputies or agents in the due execution of his Majesty's said letters patents for the punishing and suppressing of all such refractory persons as .shall exercise any of the said trades or professions, until they and every of them shall be first licensed in manner as aforesaid."

" Essex. — Whereas divers persons in all or most of the cities and corporate, and market-towns in this kingdom have taken a liberty without any restraint, to make in very great quantities a kind of brass or copper tokens, with such stamps as they pleased, and vented them to the people, some of the said tokens for a penny, and some others for a halfpenny each piece, to the great grievance of his Majesty's subjects. We therefore do by this our proclamation in his- Majesty's name, strictly charge and require all persons whatsoever, from henceforth to forbear to make or stamp, or cause to be made or stamped,, any brass or copper, or other tokens whatsoever, without speciaLlicense from his Majesty in that behalf, and hereof they may not fail, as they ' will answer the contrary at their perils.

" Essex. — Whereas divers disloyal persons, commonly called Tories, have of late, very much infested several counties of this Kingdom, and have committed divers robberies, burglaries, and murders, upon his Majesty's good subjects, whereunto (as we are informed) tliey have been en- couraged, by reason of protections, that have been of late, too frequently granted to some of them, by some persons, having or pretending authority from us, the Lord Lieutenant, to grant the same, which protections have been often much abused by those who have obtained the same, and also, by reason, that such persons, who have harboured, concealed, or relieved, the said Tories, have not been so strictly inquired after, prosecuted, and punished, as they ought to have been: " For remedy whereof, we have thought tit hereby, to publish, and declare, that no person or persons who now have or pretend to have any power or authority from the Lord Lieutenant, or Lord Lieutenant and Council, of this Kingdom to grant protections shall from and after the 24th day of this instant June, grant any protections, to any robbers, or Tories, and that all protections, which after the said 24th day of June, shall be so gianted, to any such robbers or Tories, by virtue of any such authority, shall be of no force, validity or security, to the persons, to whom the same shall be granted : " Provided always, and we do hereby farther declare, that such pro- tections, as have been alieady granted, or shall be granted, before the said 24th day of this instant June, to any such robbers or Tories, by any person or persons having authority from us, the Lord Lieutenant, or the Lord Lieutenant and Council of this Kingdom, to grant the same, shall continue of force, for such time, as the same have been, or shall be so 345 granted and no longer, and in case any person or persons, that now are, MSS. ov or shall be, before the Said 24th day of this instant June protected thereby ob^Oimonde. shall in respect of any services already done, or hereafter to be done — by them, expect to have their ^protections continued to them, for any longer time, or to be pardoned for their offences heretofore com- mitted by them, they are to make their timely applications herein, to us, the Lord Lieutenant, for the same. " And we do hereby strictly charge and require the High Sheriffs of the respective counties, wherein any such robbers or Tories now are, or hereafter shall be, or wherein any such murders, robberies or burglaries shall be committed, that they do from time to time as there shaU be occasion, raise the power of the said respective counties for the prosecuting, apprehending and bringing to justice all such robbers and Tories, and that the Justices of the Peace of the said respective counties be aiding and assisting to the said High Sheriffs herein, and do also cause examinations to be forthwith taken, concerning such murders, robberies and stealths, as have been, or shall be committed in the said respective counties, to the end that the persons, who upon taking such examinations, shall appear to be guilty thereof, may be indicted for their said offences, and outlawed for the same, in case they shall refuse to render themselves, and abide their trials, and that they do also strictly and particularly, inquire after, all such persons, as do or shall at any time, conceal, relieve or harbour the said robbers or Tories, as shall refuse or neglect to give their assistance towards the taking following or apprehending of them, and to cause such persons to be bound over to the next Assizes, to be prosecuted for their said offences, to the end they may be there proceeded against and severely punished according to their demerits. " And towards the speedy effecting of this service, all commanders of horse and foot and all other his Majesty's officers and loving subjects are to be aiding and assisting as they and every of them will answer the contrary at their perils.

FOK ARRESTING OR KILLING ThIEVES. 1675, July 7. Council Chamber, Dublin. " Essex. — "Whereas in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King Henry the Sixth,' there was one right wholesome law made in this realm for the suppressing taking and killing of notorious thieves and robbers, the tenor whereof is in these words following. Whereas thieves, and evil doers increase in great store, and from day to other do increase in malice more than they have done heretofore, and do destroy the Commons with their thefts, stealings, and manslaughters, and also do cause the land to fall into decay and poverty ; and waste every day more and more, and so it is like to be confounded, if there should not be remedy. " It is ordained by authority of the said Council, that it shall be lawful to every liegeman of our Sovereign Lord the King, all manner notorious and known thieves and thieves found robbing and spoiling, or breaking houses by night or by day, and thieves found with the manner to kill them, and take them without impeachment, arraignment, or grievance to him to be done by our Sovereign Lord the King, his » A.l>. 1449-50. 346 MSS. OB justices, officers, or any of his ministers for any such manslaughter or os^^osde" taking, and that any man that kills or takes any such thieves, shall -^ — have one penny of every plough, and one farthing of every cottage within the barony where the manslaughter is done for every thief. And that the town where the said manslaughter is done, and other four towns next to the said town, which were hefore charged with the escapes for such manslaughter, shall be quit, and discharged of the said escapes, and every of them, without any impeachment in any Court, or payment to any officer. And that the Sheriff of the county shall have sufficient power to make levy of the money aforesaid in the said form, within one month after the said manslaughter, and shall deliver it to him that made the said homicide. And if the Sheriif be negligent in levying the said money in the form aforesaid, that he shall pay the sum of money to the party that hath cause to have it. " Now we the Lord Lieutenant and Council, considering that, if the said Statute had been put in due execution, many spoils, thefts, and robberies lately committed in this Kingdom had been prevented, and most of the notorious thieves and robbers who have been active therein had been ere this apprehended, and brought unto due execution. Wherefore and for the preventing of all mischiefs of the like kind for the time to come, and to the intent that the prosecutors of such evil malefactors may receive their just reward. We, the Lord Lieutenant and Council have thought fit, and do hereby accordingly will and require, and in his Majesty's name strictly charge and command all, and every his Majesty's liege people, and good subjects in this kingdom, that they and every of them in their several counties, baronies, villages, hamlets, and places of dwelling or abode in this kingdom, be aiding and assisting to each other in the taking, apprehending, and killing of all such notorious thieves, robbers, and spoilers of their country, as shall be found robbing and spoiling or breaking houses by night or by day, against the force and effect of tlie said Statute. " And we do also command and require, that the Sheriffs of the several and respective counties of this kingdom, do, according to the power given unto them by the said Act, take care to make levies of the monies intended by the said Act to be raised for the reward, and encouragement of such as shall take or kill any such notorious male- factors ; and that upon the taking or killing of any such notorious thief, and thieves or robbers, they do within one month .after send unto us the Lord Lieutenant and Council an account thereof, and of their proceedings therein as occasion shall require, whereof they may not fail at their utmost perils.

" Essex. — Whereas his Majesty by his gracious letters, bearing date the 22nd day of September last to us, the Lord Lieutenant, directed, taking notice, that the late Commissioners for executing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, did not by virtue of their commission proceed to the adjudication of any of the claims of the Transplanted persons in the province of Connaught, or county of Clare, or to the settlement of any their estates or interests, except only the interests of such Protestants who before the first day of September 1663, purchased lands in Con- naught or Clare from the said Transplanted persons, so that the estates of the said Tran,splanted persons which continued in their own hands, and were not within that time purchased by Protestants, remain subject to much doubt and uncertainty, whereby the improvements of the said lands are very much hindered, and such of the said Transplanted per.sons, as have been dispossessed of the lands set out unto them, have not yet been reprised for the same, according to his Majesty's Declaration of the 30th of November in the year (1660) for the settlement of this Kingdom of Ireland, which hath been since confirmed by Act of Parliament in this Kingdom : " For remedy whereof his Majesty hath been graciously pleased by his said letters, to authorise us, the Lord Lieutenant of this Kingdom, to cause a Commission to be issued under the great Seal of this Kingdom, directed to such Commissioners, as we the Lord Lieutenant with the advice of the Privy Council in this Kingdom, should think fit to nominate and appoint, authorising them or any three of them, to be his Majesty's Commissioners, to hear and determine the claims of all Trans- planted persons in the said province of Connaught and county of Clare touching the decrees they had, or the lands set out to them in lieu of their former estates, except only such lands as have been already disposed of, by his Majesty's late Commissioners for executing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, and to state the quit rents due to his Majesty out of the said lands, and to examine what iiregularities have 34.9 Tjeen in the setting out and disposal of the said lands, and to confirm MSS. op the just part thereof, and to enquire of all lands forfeited to his Majesty of^'obmosde. by the said Acts in the said province and county, and to dispose of all — or any such forfeited lands, as are or shall be found to be in his Majesty's disposal, towards the satisfaction and reprisal of such Transplanted interests, as remain yet unsatisfied or deficient, and to grant certificates thereof, in order to the passing letters patents thereupon, in such manner, as certificates were granted by the late Commissioners for executing the said Acts of Settlement and Explanation, to any persons whose claims were adjudged before them, and to observe such instruc- tions, as we .the Lord. Lieutenant and Council, shall think fit to give unto them, from time to time, for the better execution of the said Commission: " And his Majesty by his said letters hath also authorised us, the Lord Lieutenant, without any further warrant, to pass letters patents under the great Seal of this Kingdom, upon the said certificates, to the persons therein concerned, according to such estates, as shall be thereby adjudged to belong to them, in such manner and as fully to all intents and purposes, as letters patents have been usually passed upon certifi- cates of his IMajesty's late Commissioners for executing the said Acts of Settlement and Explanation : " And his Majesty hath also thereby further declared, that the said Commissioners, and all officers and ministers to be employed by them, shall and may receive such fees and allowances to be paid by the parties whose claims shall be heard before them, as we the Lord Lieutenant and Council shall think fit to appoint, so as the same do not exceed one moiety of the several fees allowed to his Majesty's late Commissioners for putting iu execution the said Acts of Settlement and Explanation, and their officers and ministers : " And we, the Lord Lieutenant and Council, in pursuance of his Majesty's said letters, having nominated and appointed Sir Robert Booth, Blnight, Lord Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of Common Pleas, Sir Charles Meredith, Knight, Chancellor of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, Thomas EatclifE, Esquire, Henry Henn, Esquire, one of the Barons of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, and Sir Richard Reynell, Knight, one of the Justices of his Majesty's court of chief place, to be his Majesty's Commissioners, for hearing and determining the claims of all Transplanted persons in the said province of Connaught and county of Clare, and to execute all other the matters contained iu his Majesty's said letters, and a Commission being since passed unto them under the great Seal of this Kingdom to that purpose. We have thought fit to give this public notice thereof to all persons concerned in any of the Transplanted lands, and that the said Commissioners will begin to sit publicly upon the execution of the saM Commission on the one and twentieth day of August next, at the place where the late Court of Claims sate in the King's Inns, Dublin : " And we do hereby require all persons concerned in any of the said lands, that by themselves or their agents, they do put in their claims before the said Commissioners at the office of their register in the King's Inns, Dublin, before the said one and twentieth day of August next. And that they do with all convenient speed apply themselves to the said Commissioners for the hearing and determining of their said claims, and prosecute the same with effect in such manner and at such time, as by his Majesty's said Commissioners shall be directed, whereof public rciice will be given by the said Commissioners, as soon as they shall 1 ave agreed upon the order and method of their proceedings. 350 MSS.

And it was thereby also required and commanded that all convents, semiuaries,tfriaries, nunneries, and Popish schools in this Kingdom should be forth with dissolved and suppressed." ■ " And whereas we are informed, that notwithstanding the said several proclamations, divers of the said titular Popish Archbishops, Bishops, Vicars-General, Abbots, and others, exercising ecclesiastical jurisdiction by authority derived from the Pope or See of Rome, and also divers . Jesuits and other regular priests, refusing to give obedience thereunto, do remain still in this Kingdom ; and that also several Popish societies, convents, seminaries, friaries, nunneries and Popish scTiools are still kept up in this Kingdom, in contempt of his Majesty's authority, and of the laws of this realm. "So'that we might- justly cause the said several persons, who contrary to the said proclamations do still continue in this Kingdom, to be imme- 351 diately seized upon, secured and proceeded against according to their MSS. op demerits for such their wilful disobedieuce ; and whereaa upon informa- oi^Imonde. tion given ui)on oath before the Lords of his Majesty's most honourable — Privy Council in England, touching a dangerous conspiracy against the life of his sacred Majesty, and for the subversion of the government, it hath been testified that divers particulars of pernicious consequence have been lately contrived and transacted in this Kingdom of Ireland by Jesuits and others of the Popish clergy, exercising jurisdiction in this Kingdom by authority from the Pope or See of Rome. " Whereupon his Majesty hath lately been pleased to signify his royal will and pleasure, that we, the Lord Lieutenant should, provide such speedy remedies for the obstruction of those evils informed of, as we in our wisdom shall think fit, and in particular, that we should use effectual means to compel all the titular Bishops, and other dignitaries of the church of Rome, to depart this Kingdom with all possible speed.

" Whereas several of the most considerable merchants, residing in and about this city of Dublin, and other the cities, corporations, and trading- ports of this Kingdom, have of late, in behalf of themselves, and other the merchants thereof, preferred their humble petition to this board, thereby setting forth; that butter being one of the principal commodities of the product of this Kingdom, and not only of an universal use, and expense at home, but being likewise transported in very great quantities to parts beyond the seas, from whence, of all others, it makes the greatest return in moneys, to the manifest advancement of his Majesty's revenue and enriching of the subjects of this his Kiugdora, is nevertheless, by the fraudulent dealing and practice of several farmers, owners and packers of butter, and by combination between them, and the coopers, and makers of cask, to the great wrong and abuse of his Majesty, in victualling of his navy, of merchants in victualling of their ships, of all traders in the said commodity, of all householders who buy the same for their expense, and to the great dishonour of this nation, in parts beyond the seas, brought into great disrepute abroad, whereby it yields not that price, nor is vented there in such quantities as otherwise it would ; by means whereof, the petitioners are at great uncertainties as to the returns, and their agents and factors abroad oftentimes fmed and imprisoned by the magistrates and governors in foreign parts, where the said butter is bv * them exposed to sale, as the petitioners have by divers letters from their correspondents, and proofs, and testimonies, made appear unto us ; the coopers and makers of cask oftentimes making their cask, wherein butter is to be packed of -green and unseasoned timber, and the staves, and bottoms of them sa thick, that a firkin, which ought not to weigh above ten pounds, doth commonly weigh, from sixteen to twenty pounds ; and the half barrel, which ought not in weight to exceed twenty pounds, doth commonly weigh, from thirty to forty, so that the merchant is not ^ only defrauded in the weiefht, but the l>utter becomes unfit for common USB, and not merchantable, contracting both a bad taste and smell, from the sap which cometh from the green and unseasoned timber of the cask ; so that the tfade afttreSstid, was in all probability likely to be utterly lost, to the very great lessening of his Majesty's revenue, and the unsufEerable prejudice of his subjects in this his Kingdom, as aforesaid. „ "And whereas J.he, said merchants did by tbeir said petition for pre- .veBjfcing the abuses.afpresaid, and avoiding of the m,ischiefs that may ; ensue thereon, humbly propose the following expedients, viz. : " 1st. That all butter cask be made staunch, and tight at both ends .-neatly hooped, and of - well-seasoaed timber, either of ash or oak, fit for that purpos*.- f' '{ < . ; ■ 363 " 2. That no butter cask be made to contaia one hundred weight of ™S^. ob butter, and no more, that shall with the heads and hoops thereof weigh os Oemohde. more than twenty pound, and so the weight to be proportionable of a - — greater or lesser cask* " 3. That all butter cask be made by certain standards, and to contain as followeth, viz. the barrel to contain two hundred and twenty- four pound, and the kilderkin one hundred and twelve pound, and the firkin to contain fifty-six pounds of neat butter and no more, besides the cask. " 4. That every cooper do brand in fair characters, on the head of all the butter cask which he shall make, or cause to be made, the (said vessels being first seasoned in water) the first letters of his or their Christian name, and his or their surname at length, with the name of the corporation, manor, town or village where he dwells, before such cask be exposed to sale. " 5. That all owners, makers and packers of butter, do make pack or sell none, but sound and merchantable butter, without mixing the same with immoderate quantities of salt. " 6. That the first owner, maker, or packer of butter, do brand in fair characters on the side of the cask, wherein he or they shall cause his or their butter to be packed, the first letter of his or their Christian name, with their surname, and the name of the corporation, manor, town or village, wherein he or they dwell at the time of his or their making and packing the same.

" Now we, the Lords Justices, and Council, having taken the premises into consideration and well weighing the great hazard the said trade of butter is in, of being utterly lost, to the lessening of his Majesty's revenue, a detriment of his siibjects in this his Kingdom, in case the same be not speedily prevented. *' And having likewise taken into consideration, one act of Parliament, made and enacted at Westminster, in the 14th year of the leign of his late Majesty King Charles the Second of blessed memoiy, intituled, ' Abuses committed in the weight, and false packing of butter reformed.'

" And whereas the said Richard Power and his complices have since the publishing of the said proclamation committed many burglaries, robberies, and stealths,, and divers other outrages, to the terror and annoyance of his Majesty's loyal and good subjects, and the disturbance of the peace of the Kingdom.

" And we do further require all such captains or other officers as aforesaid, immediately upon receipt of the said ai-ms, to return an account to us, the Lords Justices, or oiher chief governor or governors of this Kingdom for the time being, and Council, or to the Clerk of the Council, what number of arms were so delivered into their custody with the several kinds of them, and the names of such persons as shall not give in their arms before the aforesaid 14th day of July then next, and whether the said arms were delivered out of the stores, bought by the county, given by the officer, or paid for by the private men. " And the said militia captains, or other officers as aforesaid, were by the said proclamation required to keep the arms when so lodged, clean, and in good order, that they may be fit for the militia upon days of exercise, or for such other uses as his Majesty may have for them. " In pursuance of which proclamation, several returns have been made by the officers of the militia. Whereby it appears that many of the said arms did remain in the hands of particular persons, who in contempt of the commands of this board, refused or delayed to return them to the said officers as they were required. Whereof we the Lords Justices having taken notice, did by our letters to the colonels, or other 366 ■ MSS.

" And in case any of them should further delay to give an account as by the said proclamation was directed, the said officers of the regiment were then to cause such arms to be collected according to the pro- clamation, and a perfect list made thereof, expressing the number and kinds, and the persons' names to whom they did belong, and to send the same to us the Lords Justices. " And we being now informed, that several of the said officers of the army have, in pursuance of the said letters, collected divers of the said militia arms, which as yet remain under their custody, or of other persons entrusted by them, We think fit hereby to require not only the said officers of the army, but also all such particular persons, as aforesaid, who detain any of the said militia arms, forthwith to deliver, or cause to be delivered, all the said arms so collected by the said officers, or detained by the said particular persons, to the respective captains, or other officers in chief of the said troops or companies of the militia, who by the said former proclamation were authorised to receive the same. " And for the better preservation of the said arms, and to the end to have them in a readiness to answer any occasion of his Majesty's service, we do hereby in his Majesty's name require the said captains, or other officers in chief of the said militia troops, or companies, by or before the sixteenth day of Ivovember next, to cause all the said arms so delivered to them, as aforesaid, to be safely conveyed to one of his Majesty's stores of arms and munition in this Kingdom, videlicet, " For the province of Leinster, to the stores at Dublin or Athlone. " For the province of Munster to the stores of Cork, Kinsale, Limerick, Waterford, or Duncannon. " For the province of Connaght to the stores of Gralway, or Athlone. " And for the province of Ulster to the stores of Londonderry, Carrickfergus or Charlemont. " And there to deliver all the said arms which shall so come to their hands, together with a list containing the number and kinds of them, and of the names of the particular persons of the militia, to whom they do respectively belong, unto the clerks of the said stores respectively, who are hereby required to receive them, and to give acknowledgments under their hands of the receipts of the said arms upon a duplicate of the said list so to be received by them ; and from time to time to give us an exact account of what arms Ihey shall receive and from whom. " And we do hereby declare, that the charge of conveying the said arms shall be paid by his Majesty, and to that end the said captains and other officers of the militia, who are to deliver the said arms into the stores as aforesaid, are immediately after the delivery thereof to send the Clerk of the Council a note of their reasonable charge in this matter, which we shall take care shall be paid unto them accordingly by his Majesty. 367 " Friincis I)ubHn.i— Longford. — Blesinton . — Mountjoy. — Charles mss oi - ±1 ending.— John Keating.— Henry Hene.-John Davies. — Richard MABQtria • Keynell.— Thomas Newcomen." °^ Obmonde.

" And though we have caused the said proclamation to be published in all the parts of this kingdom, and so might have justly expected a full compliance thereunto from all his Majesty's subjects, yet such is the perverse humour and continuing malice of some restless spirits, that in contempt of our said proclamation, and of the known laws of this realm, they make it their constant practice by writing and speaking, to publish and spread false news and reports, and their iniquity have so far prevailed upon them, that they have raised a most scandalous, impious, and false calumny and report, as if his Majesty's Protestant subjects here were to be massacred by his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects of this kingdom, which report was so industriously improved, as that not only an account thereof was sent into England and several there persuaded that a massacre was actually committed here upon many of his Majesty's Protestant subjects, but that several persons in this city, either out of fear and apprehension, or out of some evil design to disturb the peace, have met and assembled together at an ' See page 387. 389 unseasonable lime of the night, in a riotous and warlike manner, to the Juiouis great terror of his Majesty's people; an(} of the other hand, several or Oemonde. other persons endowed with the same spirit, have maliciously and scandalously given out, as if his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects here were to be killed and massacred by his Majesty's Protestant subjects of this realm.

Ellis." Hostilities in Ulster. 1688-9, March 7. Council Chamber, Dublin. " Tyrconnell. — Whereas several persons in the province of Ulster and the town of Sligo iu this his Majesty's kingdom, have entered into several associations, containing no less offence than high treason, and thereupon formed themselves into several parties, dividing and marshalling them- selves into several regiments, troops and companies, marching well armed, up and down the country, to the great terror of the Kiiig's liege people, in manifest breach of the law and of the peace of this realm. "And having resolved within ourselves to prevent the effusion of blood as long as it was possible, by using all peaceable means to reduce the said malefactors to their obedience, have of late issued a proclama- tion setting forth the said disorders, requiring all the said parties to disperse, and repair to their several habitations and callings, assuring every of them of his Majesty's pardon and protection. " And whereas we find the said offenders, instead of complying with our said proclamation, still to persist in their wickedness by continuing in actual rebellion, breaking of jirisons, and discharging of prisoners secured by due course of law for robberies, felonies, and other heinous crimes, by seizing upon his Majesty's arms, and ammunition, imprisoning several of his Majesty's army, disarming and dismounting thero, killing and murdering several of His Majesty's subjects, pillaging and plundering the country and daily committing several other [acts] of hostility ; and finding no other way left to suppress the said rebellion, we, the Lord Deputy, have caused a part of his Majesty's army under the command of Lieutenant General liichard Hamilton to march into the province of Ulster to reduce the rebels there by the force of arms, the consequence whereof cannot be but very fatal to that country and the inhabitants thereof and will inevitably occasion the total ruin and destruction of that part of this [his] ^ Majesty's kingdom; the consideration whereof hath given us great . . . .^ and trouble of mind, that a country well planted and inhabited should . . .^ the insolvency and traitorous wickedness of its own inhabitants be brought to ruin and desolation, which we are still* willing to prevent, if any spark of grace be yet remaining in the hearts of those conspirators. " Hereby declaring notwithstanding the many affronts by them put upon his Majesty's Government, notwithstanding the several acts of Original defective. 396 MSS. OF hostility by them hitherto committefl, that if they will now submit and ofOkmohde. become dutiful subjects, his Majesty's mercy shall be extended to them, — excepting the persons hereafter excepted. " And in order thereunto, we, the Lord Deputy and ConnciJ, do hereby strictly chfirge and command all such persons in arms in Ulster or the town of Sligo forthwith to lay down arms, and that the principal persons amongst them now in the If orth do forthwith repair to the said Lieutenant General Richard Hamilton, and deliver up to him their arms and serviceable horses, and to give him hostages, as an assurance of their future loyalty and obedience to his Majesty. And that all their adherents do deliver up their arms and serviceable horses to such person and persons as he the saiil Lieutenant General Hamilton shall appoint to receive them. "And we do also further charge and command all the principal persons of other commotions and insurrections in Sligo to repair forthwith either to us, the Lord Deputy, or to Colonel MacDaniell at the Boyle, and to deliver up their arms and serviceable horses, and to give hostages, as security for their future peaceable deportment, and their adherents to lay down their arms to be delivered up together with their serviceable horses to the said Colonel MacDaniell ; We, the Lord Deputy, hereby giving safe conduct to such of them as will submit according to this our proclamation. '' And we do hereby further declare, that such of the said persons as shallgiveobedieuce to these our commands (except the persons hereafter excepted) shall have his Majesty's protection and pardon for all past offences relating to the said commotions and insurrections ; but in case they shall be so unhappy as to persist in their wicked designs and treasonable practices, we, the Lord Deputy, do hereby command all his Majesty's forces to fall upon \hem wherever they meet them, and to treat them as rebels and traitors to his Majesty. " Yet to the end the innocent may not suffer for the crime of the nocent, and that the committal of inhuman acts may be prevented, we do hereby strictly charge and command his Majesty's army now upon their march to the North and all other his Majesty's forces, that they or either of them do not presume to use any violence to women, children, aged or decrepid men,labourers, ploughmen, or tillers of the ground, or to any other who in these commotions demeaned themselves inoffensively, without joining with the rebels, or aiding or assisting them in their traitorous actings and behaviours. " But in regard Hugh, Earl of Mount-Alexander, John, Lord Viscount Massereene, Robert, Lord Baron of Kingston, Clotworthy Skevington, Esquire, sou to the Lord Viscount Massereene, Sir Robert Colvill, Sir Arthur Rawdon, Sir John Magill, John Hawkins, Robert Sanderson, and Francis Hamilton, son to Sir Charles Hamilton, have been the principal actors in the said rebellion, and the persons who advised and fomented the same, and inveigled others to be involved therein, we think fit to except them out of this our proclamation, as persons not deserving his Majesty's mercy or favour.

" And as we have an extraordinary regard for all our subjects of this our Kingdom of what persuasion soever in matters of religion, who have hitherto since the late distractions remained firm and constant in their duty and allegiance to us, so we cannot but have compassion and tender- ness of those who withdrew themselves from their fortunes and being, in this country, upon jealousies and groundless fears that violence was to be used towards them by their fellow subjects, or that they should be disturbed in the exercise of their religion. " In order therefore to remove these fears and jealousies, and to unite all our subjects of this our Kingdom, and to quiet the minds of our people, and for the advance of trade and traffic here; we have thought fit, by the advice of our Privy Council, to declare, and we do hereby declare, that it is our royal will and pleasure that from henceforth all our subjects within this our realm may have and enjoy the free exercise of their religion, so that they take special care that nothing be preached or taught amongst them which may tend to alienate the hearts of our people from us or our government. " And that such liberty and freedom may be enjoyed with greater assurance, we have thought it requisite, and do hereby command, with the advice aforesaid, that no disturbance be made, or interruption given upto them by any person whatsoever, under pain of our displeasure, and to be further proceeded against according to the utmost rigour of the law. " And we do further hereby publish and declare, that we shall from time to time equally preserve and protect all our subjects of this King- dom of what persuasion soever in matters of religion in their persons, properties and liberties, excepting only such as are now, or of late have been in actual rebellion against us. " And we do hereby strictly charge and command all our subjects of this realm, now residing in our kingdom of England or Scotland, who either hap])ened to be there before the late troubles, or who transported themselves thither upon the fears and jealousies aforesaid, and who acted nothing more against their duty and allegiance to us, to repair hither within forty days after the date hereof, and to return to their several habitations and calling?, hereby assuring all such of our said subjects as shall repair to this our kingdom in obedience to these our commands, that they shall be protected by us in their persons, properties, liberties, and the free exercise of their religion.

" For certifying of which abuses, and preventing the like for the future, we have by the advice of our Privy Council thought fit, and do hereby strictly charge and command all such of our subjects of this realm, as do know, or shall know of any sheep, cows, horses, or other goods to be so taken and conveyed away, that they forthwith discover the same to the next Justices of the Peace, who are hereby required to restore the same to the owners and proprietors thereof.

" We do therefore find our self obliged to make use of the most eifectual means we can for raising and maintaining a suflScient force to oppose and repel so unnatural and so injurious an attempt, and whereas the experience of all times hath showed that an army cannot be^rvice- able without good order and discipline, which may not be kept without making regular and due payments, the only means to keep them from oppressing and plundering the people ; and whereas the late act ot supply has charged the subsidy thereby granted towards the support of our army altogether on lands and tenements, and such leases only as are set at half value or under, which subsidy as it cannot be levied in some parts of the kingdom now infested with the rebels, nor out of some lands which are waste, so it is not in itself sufiScient to defray the charges of the war ; and since the urgency is so great upon this present occasion, where no less than the safety of the public as well as of every man in particular is concerned as that it cannot admit of any delay, and therefore the ordinary method of giving supplies in Parliament (always practised in settled times) cannot be at present made use of without the loss of too much time ; and since it cannot but seem reasonable that where all estates and all degrees are equally at stake, the personal estates shoxdd contribute to the common defence. " Wherefore, after mature deliberation had with our Privy Council upon the present state of afEairs, and upon due examination of what hath been done in the like extraordinary exegencies in former times. We have thought fit by the advice of our said Privy Council to order and declare, and we do hereby order and declare that a contribution of twenty thousand pounds per month for the space of three months ending the last day of January last past, shall be forthwith applotted, laid in, and levied upon the personal estates of all sorts within this kingdom (household goods, apparel, and such leases as are already charged by the said act of supply only excepted) and also upon the benefit of trade and trafSc wherein each person is to be made liable in proportion to his substance and to the profit and advantage of his trade or traffic, and that all and every the counties, cities, and towns corporate within this kingdom shall bear and pay so much, and in such and the like share and proportion of the said contribution as they and every of them respec- tively do bear and pay of the aforesaid subsidy already granted by the said act of supply, which said contribution is to be equally applotted by commissioners to be forthwith by us named in each county, city, and town corporate, who shall make books thereof, and proceed therein- according to instructions which we shall forthwith cause to be published in that behalf, to the end that the same may be levied and paid with all speed without which it cannot an.swer those good and necessary ends for which it is intended. 423 MSS. oE "And for the better enabling of all our loving subjects to pay this ^MDMB.^ contribution, and for securing them for the future against all free — ' quarterings and other oppressions and injuries that may be offered them by any of our army, we have further thought fit by the advice aforesaid to declare that we will forthwith appoint one or more persons in each county and city within this kingdom who shall have power to receive all complaints concerning any exactions or extortions to be committed by any otRcers or soldiers of our army, and out of our revenue to make present payment to the parties aggrieved for the damage by them sustained, and to return such complaints to our Secretary of War in order to have the value of such damage deducted for us out of the pay of the parties offending, and also to have them proceeded against according to the Articles of War, which have been heretofore or hereafter shall be by us made in that behalf." ^ EeCbipt of Copper and Brass Money. 1689-90, February 4.

"Wherefore we do hereby declare, we shall take into our royal pro- jection all poor labourers, common soldiers, country farmers, ploughmen, and cottiers whatsoever, as also all citizens, townsmen, tradesmen, and artificers who either remained at home, or having fled from their dwellings, shall by the first day of August ' next repair to their usual places of abode; surrendering up what arms they have, to such Justices of the Peace as are, or'shall be appointed by us, not only to receive the same, but also to register the appearance of such of the said -persons as shall come and submit unto our authority. For our )-oy»l intention is, and we do hereby declare, that we will not only pardon all those poor seduced people as to their lives and liberties, who shall come in by the time aforesaid, for all violences they have done or com- mitted by the command of their leaders during the war ; but we do also promise to secure them in their goods, their stocks of cattle, and all their chattels personal whatsoever ; willing and requiring them to come in, and where they were tenants, there to preserve the harvest of grass and corn for the supply of the winter. " But forasmuch as many of them had a legal right to the tenancy of several lands, some holden from Protestants, and some held from Popish proprietors, who have been concerned in the rebellion against us, our -will and pleasure is, that all those tenants who held from our good Protestant subjects, do pay their rents to their respective landlords ; and that the tenants of all those who have been concerned in the present rebellion against us, do keep their rent in their hands, until they have notice from the Commissioners of our revenue, unto whom they are to account for the same.

" But although several persons have laid hold on our said declaration, and are received into our royal protection, yet few of them have hitherto brought in their arms, and most of those brought in are broken and unserviceable, which we cannot but look upon as a very high contempt, and done out of a wicked design, on any opportunity to join with our enemies and rebels.

Wo do now farther declare, that as to all poor labourers, common soldiers, country farmers, ploughmen, and cottiers whatsoever ; as also to all citizens, townsmen, tradesmen, and artificers who remained at home, or who having fled from their dwellings, shall by the five and twentieth day of this instant August, repair to their usual place of abode ; surrendering up what arms they have, to such Justices as are, or shall be appointed by us, not only to receive the same, but to register the appearance of such as shall submit to our authority ; we do hereby declare, that we will not only pardon them, as to their lives and liberties, for all violence they have done and committed by authority of their superiors during the rebellion, but we do also promise to secure them in their goods, their stocks and cattle, and all their chattels personal whatsoever ; willing and requiring them to come in, and where they were tenants, there to preserve the harvest of grass and com for supply of the winter .

" As to strangers of what nation soever they be, who have taken service in this Kingdom against us, we do farther declare, that if they shall forsake the enemy and come into our quarters within the time aforesaid, they shall not only receive our protection whilst they are in the Kingdom, but forthwith have passports given them, to go directly home into their respective countries. " But if these manifestations of our grape and favour shall not be valued as they deserve; or if any shall persist in that barbarous and unchristian way of burning and desolation, which in some places hath of late been practised; we shall hold ourselves discharged of those consequences and calamities which must inevitably follow, since those who are obstinate against our mercy becpme the authors of their own confusion."

" With full assurance therein, that the several rewards and sums of money therein promised, should be paid to the several persons so discovering the same, in such manner as is therein directed, without any fee or reward, upon application to the said Lords Justices and Council; and all Magistrates and ministers of justice, were thereby required to use their utmost diligence to put the said two acts in execution; and all his Majesty's good subjects were thereby required to be aiding and assisting in the doing the same, as by the said proclama- tion appears ; which laws, we with reason expected would have been 468 MSS Ds ^^^y executed and the mischiefs thereby provided against prevented, MABQtris 01 considering the public security of this Kingdom required it ; the several Qemokpe. rewards thereby promised, and the strict injunction by them laid on all his Majesty's ministers of justice, and other his good subjects, to take care thereof ; but on the contrary we find the said proclamations have not had the good effect hoped for.

We, therefore, the Lord Lieutenant and Council, being resolved to have the said two statutes (so necessary for the peace, and welfare of this realm) put into strict and due execution, and also the said two proclamations observed, have thought fit, and by this our proclamation, do strictly charge and command all the officers of his Majesty's revenues in this Kingdom, in the several and respective ports, creeks and harbours thereof in their respective stations, to take an exact account of all passengers coming into this Kingdom, in any ship, vessel or boat, and on suspicion such person or persons come or return contrary to either of the said acts, to carry or convey such suspected person or persons before the next Magistrate or Justice of the Peace, who is hereby required to deal with him farther, according to the known laws of this Kingdom ; and the said officers of his Majesty's revenue are hereby strictly required from time to time to certify the Clerk of the Council or his deputy of their proceedings herein. "And we do hereby also will and command all Mayors, Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, and all and every other Officers and Ministers of justice within their several and respective counties, precincts and juris- dictions, to make diligent search and inquiry for all and every offender or offenders against the said recited Acts, or either of them, and that they proceed against them, and every of them, according to the said Acts: " And for the better encouragement of such person or persons who shall be active in the discovering of such offender and offenders, we do hereby further promise and declare, that we will take effectual care, tha,t 459 the several rewards and sums of money promised in and by the said MSS. of late proclamation herein before recited, dated the twenty eight day of ''''olMosTEf February one thousand seven hundred, to such person or persons who — - shall discover any such offender or offenders against the said two acts of Parliament or either of them, shall, on application to us, be imme- diately, and without any charge, fee or reward whatsoever, punctually paid to the several person or persons who shall make such discoveries, and over and above the said several rewards and sums of money aforesaid, we do hereby promise and declare, that the several farther additional rewards and sums following shall be paid on like application, without any charge, fee or reward, to the person or persons who shall discover • such offender and offenders ; that is to say : " For every such titular Arch-Bishop or Bishop, the sum of fifty pounds.

" And the said William Elliot, Neale Mountgomery, Edward Jones, and William Feddericks, had their arms taken from them and broken ; and the said Jones and Mountgomery were in the said affray and riot so grievously wounded, that they are in danger of losing their lives ; since which time the said rioters are dispersed, but the influence and power of the said titular Popish Bishop, and other the Popish clergy and gentry in that country, is so great, that few or none of the said rioters can be dis- covered, and the said titular Popish Bishop is relieved, harboured and concealed by persons evilly affected to her Majesty's Government, contrary to law. " We, the Lords Justices and Council, having taken the same into our consideration and the dangerous consequences of such riotous and unlawful assemblies, do by this our proclamation, strictly charge and command all Mayors, Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, and all other her Majesty's Officers and Ministers of Justice within this Kingdom, within their several jurisdictions and liberties, to make diligent search and inquiry after the said titular Popish Bishop, and likewise of all and every person and persons who were aiding and assisting in the rescuing the said titular Popish Bishop, as aforesaid, and to apprehend the said titular Popish Bishop, and all and every person and persons as were in anywise aiding or assisting in the said riot and rescue : and the'said titular Popish Bishop, so apprehended, to send to gaol, and to bind the said rioters with sufficient security, to appear at the next gener.al Assizes, to be dealt with according to law : And inasmuch as the said rioters are so numerous and powerful, we require the Sheriff of the said county ' Maurice Pounellane was appointed Boman Catholic Bishop of Clonfert, 19 September, -1695. 474 MSS.

" Whosoever shall apprehend the said titular Popish Bishop, or shall discover where he is at any place within this Kingdom, so that he may be apprehended and seized, shall have and receive the sum of fifty pounds sterling, as a recompense and gratuity for the same, over and above all sums they are or shall be intituled to, by virtue of any former law or proclamation. " And whosoever shall discover and make known to any of her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, any of the said rioters, or of any of the persons who came to the assistance of the said rioters on horseback, bo that they may be apprehended, shall on the conviction of any two such rioters that were on horseback concerned in, or guilty of the said riot, receive as a recompense for such discovery, the sum of twenty pounds sterling. " And for the discovery of any four or more persons, who were on foot in the said riot, and aiding and assisting the said rioters, or guilty thereof, or concerned therein, the sum of twenty pounds sterling, immediately after the conviction of such persons. " Which several rewards shall be paid by the Clerk of the Council or his deputy, upon his or their producing a certificate, under the hand or hands of the Judge or Judges of Assize before whom such titular Bishop, or person or persons concerned in the said riot and rescue, shall be tried and convicted. " And we do likewise promise the person or persons that shall make such discovery, as aforesaid, her Majesty's pardon for their ofEence, if they were parties in, or guilty of the said riot. And we do hereby require all her Majesty's good subjects to be aiding and assisting in the premises.

"Council Chamber, Dublin, " Shrewsbury. — Whereas a proclamation bearing date the 19th day of November, 1711, was issued by the then Lord Lieutenant and ■Council of this Kingdom, setting forth, that the several books and papers belonging to the Council-Office, had been destroyed by the late fire by means whereof it could not appear, what licenses had been granted to Papists to wear arms, so that persons not qualified to carry arms might nevertheless on pretence of counterfeit licenses, take on themselves to bear arms, and ride, and go armed ; and the Justices of the Peace and Magistrates not knowing but that such licenses were authentic and real, might be thereby prevented from putting the lav/s in execution against such delinquents : for remedy of which mischief, all licenses granted to any Papist in this Kingdom to bear arms, were by the said proclamation thought fit to be recalled, and declared to be no longer in force, and all persons having such licenses, were thereby required to lodge the same with the Clerk of the Council, or his deputy, and deliver up all such arms before the first day of January then next, to the next Justice of the Peace or Chief Magistrate where such Papist did reside, declaring nevertheless, that ail such Papists who by the laws of this Kingdom were qualified to have any arms, should on application have new licenses granted them ; but if any Papist should after the said first day of January, presume to carry arms by colour of any license formerly granted to him in that behalf, such offender and offenders, were to be proceeded against, and the laws to bo put in due execution against them. 478 MSS. OE MABQUtS OE OilMOHDJ). ^' And whereas it appears by a liStliereiin'Eo annexe37 inaae frbna tlie entries in the Council Books, that since the recalling the said licenses, no more than one hundred thirty four persons have such licenses to wear or keep arms. " And whereas the whole number of arms for which any licenses have been granted since the recalling the said licenses, is one hundred thirty three swords, one hundred twenty three cases of pistols, and one hundred and twenty one guns, and that no more persons of the Popish religion than the said one hundred thirty four, before mentioned in the annexed list, are intituled to bear arms in this Kingdom. " And whereas we are informed, that several persons not qualified by the laws of this realm to carry arms, have nevertheless in contempt and violation thereof, taken upon them to ride and go armed, for prevention whereof. " We do strictly require all Magistrates and Justices of the Peace to make diligent search for and seize all arms of any sort or kind whatsoever, which they shall find in the custody of such persons not qualified by the laws of this Kingdom, to carry arms, and not mentioned in the said lists, and to give account to the Clerk of the CouncD, or his deputy, of such arms as they shall seize pursuant to this proclamation, with the names of the persons in whose custody or power they shall find such arms. " And if any Papist or Papists shall presume to cany arms contrary to the intent andmeaningof this our. proclarnation, we do hereby will, require and command all Justices of the Peace and other Magistrates, to proceed against all and every offender and ofEenders herein, and to put the laws in due and strict execution against them. " And for the encouragement of such well affected persons, who shall discover and convict any Papist or Papists that keep or carry arms contrary to the late Act, of Parliament made in this Kingdom for dis- arming Papists, we hereby declare, that every such person that shall discover and convict any Papist that keeps or -carries arms contrary to the said Act, shall have one, moiety of the fine or forfeiture as is by the said Act appointed. . , .
