When wee came thither wee neither founde provision for man nor horse, savinge a litell that the sherief had broght in of his owne peculiar chardge, althoughe both the earle, the sherief and a nomber of gentlemen besydes that were at Galwey before were warned to levie and bringe in againste this tyme both mans meate and horse meate and the earle, writte to us that it was done accordingly : Neither herde wee any thinge of the earle afore yesterdaye about iii of the clocke in the afternone, savinge that a man of his named William Nailande came to us but not from the earle aboute a myle shorte of the Inyshe, whom we committed for not providinge horsemeate, havinge speciall chardge thereof from us. And uppon the earles cominge wee thought good to estrange ourselves from him that night because of his undutifull behaviour in neither sending unto us nor meeting of us in any parte of the waye ; and allso for his slacke dealinge concerninge our provisiones, and not so only but all the people under his rule in the countrey were fledd away, bothe man and beaste, as thoughe wee had beene ennemies. Neverthelesse we gave him no evill wordes, but thinckinge better to reprehende him openly in the morninge to the example of others, sente him woorde wee were busie and willed him to take his ease for that night. The earle of Clanricarde beeing presente with him he neither seemed to excuse his doinges nor talked one worde with him of our beeing heere nor any suche like matter but when the said message was brought to the earle of Clanricarde who reported it unto him, he said he woulde goe to his nexte howse being but halfe a myle from thence and come fol. 2686. againe in the morninge, and sent worde by Martin to us, requiringe that he might goe home and fetche his Englishe appareill, but wee answered him that in no case wee woulde consente he shoulde departe the towne, neverthelesse and notwithstanding allso all the persuacion my lorde of Clanricarde coulde make unto him he soddenly toke his horse and went his way, which when wee hearde wee sente William Martin after him, comandinge him that uppon his allegiance he shoulde immediatly come unto us. Martin founde him at his castle of Clare, and by occasion of the fludd he coulde not gett in till aboute midnight, who then was well used at his handes and promised answere in the morninge, which was that he was ashamed to tarie heere havinge no provision to bestowe upon the souldiours and others, and also reciting the greate injuries that Teig McMoroughe, the sherief, had done unto him saying plainly that he woulde not be earle if he were sherief, and allso taking some occacion of our strange dealinge with him, whereby he gathered wee were displeased : He concluded plainly that he woulde not come at us without proteccion and allso that the earle of Clanricarde shoulde meete him a myle oute of this towne, which consideringe his behaviour before wee thought good to deny him bothe and agreed to sende unto him the sergeante at armes, and yett not daringe to venter him alone, sent M r Apsley and his bande with him to guarde the Mase if any injurie shoulde be offered, and doubtinge that the warde in the castell woulde denie the earle to be theare when the sergeante came wee sente Martin before them under pretence of bringing him answere from us, that he might justifie the 1 O'Shaughnessy. 2 Ennis, co.

But yonr lordeshippes shall 1569-70. understande his dealinge with us : he hath not only taken Martin in hande and keepeth him, but also sendinge to Apsley to come in, promising him suche cheere as was there, overcame the gentleman (contrarie to our precise commaundement and also contrarie to thadvise of moste of his owne companie) to enter the castell and a nomber of his souldiours allso to the nomber of tenne, as wee can learne, were entysed likewise to goe in, whereof some were killed, and some taken, amongst them fol 2 69. that were slaine olde John McRobin was one by name ; whereuppon the sergeante and the reste of Apsleyes companie who had grace to doubte the worste retorned hither to us againe saulf. The newes amased us greatly, and wee resolved to goe to the castell ourselfes and did so of purpose to speake with the earle and perswade him if wee coulde, but comming thither and sendinge our trompett and messenger to the castell requiring the erle to come forthe and speake with us uppon oure worde saulfe to retorne wee were answered the erle was not there ; and demanding wheare Apsley, Martin and the reste weare, answered that the earle of Thomonde coulde tell, and that the erle himselfe woulde meete ns to morrowe, but it is plainly judged that the earle hath both Apsley, Martin and the reste with him and is gone to Bonrattie 1 and certaine it is that he is gathering power with all possible diligence and the Butlers are borderinge heere harde uppon Shanan by the erle of Thomondes procurement as it is thought for this pretended m purpose and were sent for by two horsemen of the erles uppon Monday at night : The premisses considered, together with our owne strenght, being but our owne ordinarie and a fewe of the erle of Clanricardes and nowe these xxv of Apsleies and never a footeman, wee have resolved to retyre ourselves as wee may to Grallwaye, there to waite for your lordeshippes further pleasure, which wee humble beseche you may be with speede. Wee heere also, but not credibly, that the earle of Ormonde was either yesterday or this day at his howse of Nenaghe, by the Shanan syde and there called an assemblie of gentlemen but to what ende wee can not learne. And it is allso reported that the earle of Thomonde had letteres from him within these twoe dayes but of what effect wee knowe not. And thus wee humble take our leave : From Inyshe, the xxiiii th of Januarie, 1569[-70], your lordshippes humble to commande Edward Fitton. — R. Clanricarde. — Rafe Rokeby. — Robert Dillon.

For this night, lyinge upon my bedd, I have fully persuaded myselfe that it is more honorable to the queene and more commodious to the service to goe to Limericke for preparacion of the souldiours there. My lorde, I flnde suche comforte and stay in the earle of Clanricarde both for advise and companie that I woulde not wante him for my whole interteinement.

And allthoughe wee have received letteres of adverticement from our verie good lorde the lorde president of Connaght, subscribed allso with the handes of our verie good lorde the erle of Clanricarde and the rest of her majesties counsell of that pro- vince of a notorious misbehaviour in your lordeshippe, which, if it were not to be ascribed unto subdenesse and lacke of good advisement of your dutie, loyaltie and honorable callinge, were verie haynous and of perilous sequele to be suffered and permitted into example. Yett wee have not hitherto conceived suche opinion cf your lorde- shippe that there coulde any suche thinge proceed from you as of any purposed rancour to fall from your due obeisance towardes the queenes majestie and the governement by her majestie in this realme established and apointed, but rather of some errour and lacke of due consideracion. And therefore have thought fitt to require and in her majesties behalfe to will you to leave ail suche partes asyde as perteine to the shewe of rebellion or keepinge of your selfe with force or your castells or countrey other then to permitt the same to her majesties defence, and to make your speedie and indelayed personall repaire unto us under the convoye of our verie good lorde the erle of Ormonde and Osserie, lorde threasurer of this realme, to the intent wee may take suche order with your lordeshippe as best shall apperteine.

[CCXV.] — The copie of the earle of Ormondes lettere : 1570. My verie good lorde : As I did advertise your lordeshippe in my laste lettere howe ill I was furnished by the maior of this cittie with boates for conveing of her majesties ordinance towardes Bounratie, 1 so I thought good to lett your lordeshippe understande that since, he hath not taken any order for providing of any other, ne yett repairing those twoe boates by him delivered, which sounke at the key as sone as the ordenance was shipped, and the boate which sir Thomas of Desmonde promised never came : And seeing no meane to carrie the ordenaunce by seae, for wante of boates, lieng heere at my greate chardge, I marched forwarde into Thomonde, wheare the earle came unto me uppon proteccion. And after longe speeche made to move him to his dutie in making of his submission simply to the queenes majestie and your lordeshippe, I demanded of him the prisonners which he kepte to be sett at libertie, which thoughe he was loth to doe when I entered the countreye, he condiscended thereto. And allso agreed to deliver unto my handes all his mannours to the queenes majesties use uppon certeine condicions, which I doe send to your lordeshippe heere inclosed, whiche I was contented to accepte for a tyme untill I had knowen your honours further pleasure, considering I coulde gett no boates for to carrie the ordenance thether, and thereuppon marched on further into the countrey till the prisoners were delivered to my handes and lefte vvarde at Clonerawd, the Clare and Bonrattie, from whence I came yesterday, so that if your lordeshippe doe mislike of his requestes, there is no good tyme 1 Bunratty, in county of Clare. 20G HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION. 1570. loste, for as yett can I not get one boate to carrie the ordenance heere hence unles my lord FitzMorishe doe helpe me to the same hereafter. The service of these gentlemen of Thomonde that be inlardged are to be imployed againste the said earle. fol. 2716. And allso I have taken viewe wheare to lay battrie to his castells if he shoulde be restored thereunto. And have made a good way thorowe the longe pace 1 that goeth to Bonrate, which was before all cutt and plashid . Till retourne of your lordeshippes answere I meane to prosecute James FitzMorishe, againste whom I finde sir Thomas of Desmondes service with the rest of this countrey of small purpose notwithstandinge that at my going to Thomonde I gave him and the freeholders of this countrie and Connilaghe 2 speciall chardge to be verie carefull thereoi till my retourne, who to this houre hath done nothinge therein. I brought these gentlemen of Thomonde (that were prisoners) hither, where I meane to stay them till I have theire pledges both for theire trewe service to her majestie and for observacion of her majesties peace to all her faithfull subjectes in Thomonde or till your lordeshippes further pleasure be certified unto me in that behalfe. I cannot but recommend unto your lordeshippe Mr. Ballawod, and Mr. Cruce, who verie diligently and painfully have traveiled with me this journey into Thomonde. Beseching the same to wryte unto them your comfortable letteres for theire further incurradginge therein * They complaine to me that they lacke 400 weight of ledd, which I pray your lordeshippe to send with the culverin shott and the holbardes I wrote to you for by my former lettere. Thus wishinge to your lordeshippe muche increase of honor, I humble take my leave, praing you that I may with all speed understande your pleasure herein. My lorde, the countrie heere sendeth in neither horsemeate nor mans meate, nor the sherief is hable to doe anythinge amonge them. So that what provision J have I am faine to buy the same heere as the markett goeth. From Limericke, this x th of Aprill, 1570. The good service that sir Thomas of Desmonde hath done since my departinge hath been the spoiling and prainge of sir William Bourke FitzEdmonde, so that to tell your lordeshippe myne opinion, with the judgement of all the countreies heereaboutes, I holde him of as little discression in service as any man, for that he seketh more the revenge of his private quarrells againste his countrey people then the revendge of her majesties cawse againste the rebell James FitzMorishe. fol. 272.

So to answere your lordeshippe, our opinions judgementes and resolucions touchinge the said articles wee be all of one mynde, that thoughe it please him to call them humble requestes that they be without all humilitie verie skornefull, and so imperious, thoughe not in comaundement : yett in untowardenes to obey, as wee thinke it not for the queenes honour to allowe of them, nor for the dewetie of this state to yelde to graunte them. The cawses for that he no manner of way offeringe to stande to or abyde the order and judgement of this state that her majestie hath placed for the governement of the whole realrae, but that more is limitynge by his offers in what sorte he wilbe used, wee doe judge that it becommeth not us, with the referring of any matter brought to her majesties judgement, to abridge any parte of her highnes power to doe what her pleasure shall best like in justice nor to prevent by our assentinge that that her majestie may doe and is inclyned to doe, of her moste gracious clemencie and disposecion to mercie, and next wee thinke it verie inconvenient, seeing his disobedience hath beene chiefly in resistance of that aucthoritie placed by her majestie in those provinces fol. 2736. of Connaght and Thomonde, that he shoulde, during the tyme of his triall, exempt himselfe and all his from that rule and aucthoritie and so winne and recover by the agreement that, that by his rebellion he hath attempted, for so muche wee take that that request doith implie, and importeth a sturringe of the others of that province that are unwillinge to be governed to evict and exempt themselfes by the like meanes : The substance of the rest of his offers and requestes wee accompte not worthie to be spoken of more then wee expresse in suche articles of our offers as wee doe send your lordeshippe heere inclosed. And there- fore in no wyse wee thinke it convenient to allowe of those his offers : And yett, for that wee woulde all men shoulde knowe howe unwil- linge wee be to mainteine warres where wee may conclude any good and honorable peace (presuming that your lordeshippe is of our opinion, as wee can gether no greate likinge that you have of his articles aforesaid, we be contented that your lordeshippe shall make him offer of our said articles, to be refuced or accepted within the apointed tyme cf five dayes after redeliverie of his castells. And thoughe wee doe acknow- ledge therein to lessen the majestie of the queene in this state, com- mitted to our government, and that it is more then he is worthie of that hath not ouly refused the accomplishment of our firste and second letteres, offeringe all reasonable indifferencie, but allso hath in the meane tyme (besides his delayes) committed many disorders and attempted detestable practises, yett for quietnes sake wee thinke meete to make apparante demonstracion that it shalbe his only faulte if those troubles goe further on. And, even as in makinge the agreement wee pray your lordeshippe to expounde all doubtes that may rise, as it may HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION. 209 sownde to the speciall regarde of the roiall majestie of the queene, as 1570. well in this governement as in that perticuler province, so if you finde that the earle will not yelde to this reasonable conformitie our whole truste and hartie desire is and (if in any) point wee may augment your aucthoritie, wee doe hereby geve you power that your lordeshippe fol. 274. (imediately after the dayes paste that you stande bounde to him in honour) doe prosecute him, all mariner of waies, aecordinge to the intent of your former commission and that with as muche speede as you can, for that wee finde (and your lordeshippe seeth by prof'e) that delayes doe both increase her majesties coste, consume your lordeshippe and waste the countrie. Like as wee meane no lesse then uppon advertisement from your l©rdeshippe of his in conformitie to proclayme him rebell and to proceed in the next session of parliament for his atteinder.

And because we perceave by the let teres and informacion sent hither at this present to our councell by Rauffe Roockby, our justice then in our councell established in Connaght, that you have had some doubt that we ment to use him with such favor as his fawtes to our state there did no wise deserve, for that he himself by letteres sent from hence to you pretendeth that he hath found greate favor with us and our councell and by letteres to our cosen, the erle of Ormonde, that he was sent for honorably by us and our councell after his arivall into Fraunce without expressing any thing how he made greate labor and sute to our ambassador there, or how otherwise he hath bene used, we have thought mete to advertise you the very trought of our usage towardes him : At the beginnynge that we hard of his beinge in Fraunce first by some intelligence privatly out of Normandye, where he landed, and next by our ambassador in Fraunce. And then we also harde of his being secretly about the French court. And how that although he made fol. 27G. meanes to our ambassador to recover our pardon and to retorne, yet he was also enticed to offer service to the king there, from whom he receaved some porcion of money, wheruppon our ambassador, upon his owne discretion, thought good secretly to stay him from desperacion of our mercy and advertised us of the same, vvhereuppon we commanded our ambassador to move him to come hither, where he should be hard to saye what he could for himself, if his offences were no greatter then he pretended, being, as he saide, non other but fleeing out of the realme for feare of the president, and intending to come hether by sea into England ; which trie master of the ship, being a freinde man would not let him do, and so forth, with other coulorable matters to induce us to thinke no default in his loyalte. And though at the first he liked not of this kind of answere, still pressing to receave absolutely grace and pardon, yet in the end theambas- sodor told him, that he had no commission from us to give him other answere ; but because he had compassion of him, and trusted his owne HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION. 211 assertions for his truth of allegiance to us, he wold thus much adventure, l$7o. as to send one of his trustie scrvauntes with him to come into England and to make humble request, that he might be hard to alledge what he cold for himself. And if therby we shuld not be moved to pardon hun that then it might belawfull for him to retorne into Fraunce or where he wold. And so he was brought nere to our court, being then in Oxfordshire, where we wold not permitt him to come nere unto us but cawsed him to be committed to the custody of one of our servauntes in Oxford, where he remained a good space before he had accesse to any of our counsell, and after longe and humble sute made fol. 2766. by him he was hard how he could an s were sundry thinges wherewith he was chardged for his disobedience to our president and counsell in Connaught, making such answere Iherunto as nether appeared sufficient nor yet was credited, and so he found no other resolution at that time, but that he should be sent thither into Ireland to appeare before you and our counsell and theare to be hard and abide such order as to you should be found reasonable. And if it might appeare that ther was non other fault in him but his departing out of the realme for feare of the president, he was put in some comfort that then he should be favorably used by you, and if he liked not this it was said unto him, because the ambassador had offered him more then he had warrant to do, that he yet shold be suffered to departe the realme as he came : And therewith also he was roundly used with sharpe wordes and so reproved as he found no suche reputacion made of him, as wherby he might write or reporte of any such favor shewed unto him as by his ietteres he reporteth. Heruppon he continued still in his humble request to have favor with justification of his truth and allegiance, although he yelded to some oversight in his departing, and accepted the order ment to be sent into Ireland to be ordered by you, which being determined to be forthwith executed, he fell sicke, and so continued more then a moneth, whereof being recovered, upon long sute made by him to our councell, he was suffered to come to our presence to make his submission, havinge not before bene suffered to speke to us. And there openly being on the first day of this moneth, notwithstanding fol. 277. his most humble submission, desire of pardon and offer of all kind of service he had no answere of us but with sharpe reprehention, in the best sorte we cold use it, both for abassing of himself, and for reputacion of our state there, with spociall allowances of you and our president and councell, concluding with him that he should repaire into Ireland, and subrnitt himselfe in all thinges to the order of you and our counsell there. Adding nevertheles for some comfort of him, uppon his very humble submission and token of repentance, that we wold write unto you that if he were not found culpable in any pointe of treason against us or our state there that then he shold be spared from the judgement of deathe, and otherwise he shuld receave such ponishment and order concerning himself his landes and living as to you shuld seme mete : And otherwise then this he never receaved favor by any speche of us, whatsoever he or any other for his advantage have or shall reporte. And in this sorte we have thought good at length to explicate our usage towardes him. So as now our pleassure is at his coming to you, he be used by you as shall seme metest for the reputacion and benefitt of our service there, having also nevertheles regard that some difference be made in the sight of the world of him from others, being as we take him but simple in understanding and coming out of a foreine countre, where he was entised to have abiden not without some slander to our O 2 212 lilSTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION, 1570. government and to submitt himself as he hath done to abide your order fol. 2776. in that realm which we doubt not but ye will have in consideracion ; and of your procedinge with him we require to be spedely advertised. We wold also have you in your ordering of him and his landes that payment and satisfaction may be made of sondry somes of money which have bene laied out bothe here by your order and also in Fraunce by our ambassador, whereof you shall receave a note from our secretary, by whom you shall forder understand our pleasure in that behalf.

[CCXXIL] — Apud castrum Dublinii, xxii Decembris, 1570, et anno fol. 2816. regni illustrissime regine nostre Elizabeth, xiii° : Memorandum : That where the erle of Thomonde had declared before the queenes rnajestie and her big lines most honorable privey councell in Englande that the cawse of his rebellion and declinaciou from obedience proceded chieflie of the feare he had of the lorde president of Conaught, and the extorcion that the said lorde president and his used upon the poore people, and ther oppression of the countrie, whereby the state there was unjustely sklaundered and the lorde president and his in perticuler towched : The said erle, beinge, at the especiall sute of the said lorde president, brought before the lorde deputie and counsaill to declare the cawse of the feare he conceived of the lorde president ; and to showe what extorcion and oppression he or his had used upon the countrie, denied utterlie that there was any juste cawse geven him on the lorde presidentes parte to move him to that disorder, or to attempt that offence of the state there. Upon which his publique and manifest deniall, beinge urged by the lorde president to put away all vaine feare or imagenacion of dowbt that he might conceive of any intencion that was mente in any sorte to entrappe him by this demaunde but that the same was only sought at his handes for the simple declaracion of the trewthe and for no other cawse ; and that by the openinge of the trewthe he shall in some parte repaire the greate and heinous offence he had committed against that governeinent, addinge further to encorage him not to hide any parte of the troth, that the queenes rnajestie had delt most mercifuilie and graciouslie with him and had pardoned him his lief and thereof he might stande most assured for it was now resolved upon by the lorde deputie and counsaill that his pardon shulde be passed under f i. 282. the greate seale and delivered him and therfore he might now be bolde to declare the trewthe and stande no longer in feare, since order was taken bothe for his pardon and enlargement.

Yet beinge further urged for the declaracion of the trothe what he could say against the said lorde president, answered : * What will you have me 4 say ? I can say no more than I have said. I have grevouslie offended the queenes rnajestie, you, my lorde deputie and my lorde president, and I pray you forgeve me, and the next time I shall offende or decline from my dewtie of obedience and loialtie towardes the queenes 216 HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION. 1570. majestie or the state, I pray God I may have no longer lief ; and that he wold never crave pardon if he shulde henceforthe offende either the queene or the state, but that then the lorde deputie and counsell shuld doo with him as thei lest/ [CCXXIIL] — A coppie of a lettere to the lordes of the counsaile in England for the lord president of Connoghte : Maye it please your good lordshippes : By the last letteres of me, the deputy, written to the quenes majestie, in aunswear of those that wear sent, by hir highnes toutchinge the earll of Thomond, is advertised so muche as was at that time delt with the said earll, and somewhat also what was determined towardes him. Among which it was agreede that he should submitt himself to the lorde president of Conoghte, and procedinge accordinge as was en tended, we thoughte it convenient to fol. 2826. send for the saide lorde president wyth whom having some consultacion we founde that notwithstandinge the earles orfer of humble submission, he accounted himself agrevid that the earle had reported, as by hir majesties letteres did appere, that the fear of him was the cause of his first sturr, and his flyinge into Fraunce, and also that the said lorde president should oppresse his countrey and people, and thearuppon desiered that the saide earle, in presence of this lorde, mighte be heard, what he could saye toutchinge the same, which, beinge thought verey convenient, the earle was brought accordingly, and the matters aforesaid laid to his chardge : He aunswered with great humility, uppon his knees, that he had sondry waies offended the quenes majestie, the lorde deputy, and the lorde president, for which he had submitted himself, and did now to them all and in perticuler to the lorde president, acknowledg- inge that the whole advertisinentes and circumstances of his doinges sent by the lorde president and counsell to me, the lorde deputy, and from me to your honors wear and are true ; callinge for mercy and refusing to stand to justificacion, praied us all to be good unto him : And althoughe it wear pressed uppon him that he should freely expresse if he had eny cause of fear, or that thear was eny suche oppression offerid, yet did he not aledge any but still praied us all to be good unto him and that he moughte have his pardon for his liffe. So as on the one parte we be perswaded that he had no further cause cf fear than proceded of his owne ymaginacion at the first and upon his desertes and gilty conscience at the last, nor that thear was eny oppres- sion offered at all to him or his countrey, so on the other side seeing fol. 283. how firmely lie reliethe to mercy, desieringe nothinge but his liffe, havinge by substanciall instrument, under his hand and seale, sur- renderid to hir majestie all his landes and goodes, wee have thoughte meete to comfort him with the assurance of his liffe, promessinge that it shalbe emediatly passed under hir highnes seale, and be deliverid unto him by the lorde president, in his countrey, at some generall sessions, wheare in like sorte in the face of his owne people he must submitt himself, openly knowledginge his offence to that state of justice being by us thought so to be moste necessarie, for that his first * revolt disturbed the sessions then appointed : We have presently grannted him the libertie of this cittie, uppon sufficient bond not to departe without lycence, and do porpose to consider of his further liberty and favor as we shall fynde increace of his >*ood dispocision to obedience : And thus muche have we thought convenient to signify unto your lordeshippes, as well in the satisfaction of my lorde president, that in this HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION. 217 case is not to be spotted, as also to commend unto yow the state of this 1570. poore earle, that now altogeather dependeth uppon the queenes majesties goodnes, and praieth Grod to be no otherwise holpen then from hence - forthe he meanethe faithefully and truely to searve hir.

Against which theire protection was objected by her majesties lerned counsell, beinge commaunded so to doe : First : Inasmuche as thei were received to protection in consideration of theire submission, and that thei now relied on their protection and refused to submitt themselves, that therfore the protection was dissolved and no longer of force : Secondlie : It appearethe that ther protection was to them graunted the ii de day of September to come to the lorde deputie, to remaine with [1569.] fol. 3216.

By which also their protection was clerelie avoided : And forth elie there is not in the said protection any time limited when thei shuld departe, so as the lorde deputie and counsell were at libertie to staie them duringe ther pleasure, any speciall wordes in the protec- tion to the contrarie thereof notwithstandinge : Lastlie : Whereas upon ther first apparance, the xviii th of October, thei refused (as before is recited) to submitt themselves : The lorde deputie then openlie pronounced that their said protection (suche as it was) shulde not be of foiee (if it had any) longer than that day, and after that night, at the request of the erle, the lorde deputie did graunte them protection for the next daie, being Wenesdaie, the xix th of October, to the ende the erle might use all waies and meanes he coulde to perswade them to submitte themselves. And on Thursday, the xx th of October, thei, apperinge before the lorde deputie and counsell, refused to make any submission. So as hereby it apperethe that not onlie the first protection was, by fol. 323. the lorde deputies sentence so published, dissolved but also the saffetie to them graunted duringe Wenesday was likewise determined. And, duringe the time theis objections remained unresolved, the said sir Edmunde and Pierce were committed to the custodie of the erle, ther brother, to be saffelie kepte till the next daie, beinge Friday the xxi th of October : And on Friday for that the lorde deputie and counsell could not attende the same cause the archebisshop of Dublin, John Chaloner, her majesties secretarie, and Edmunde Molyneux, clerke of the counsell, were therefore sent to the said erle, charginge him to see the said sir Edmunde and Pierce saffelie kept till Saturday, which the saide erle did undertake, but Pierce, that night, after the archbisshop and the rest had signified the lorde deputies and counsells pleasures to the erle, escaped ; and the next daie it was resolved, concluded and agreed by the lorde deputie, the nobilitie, counsell and justices, whose names are hereunto subscribed, that for the premised consideracions the said sir Edmunde Butler shulde be staied and committed to the castell of Dublin till the queenes majesties pleasure be knowen : Provided if hereafter he shall showe any sufficient matter to maintaine the force of his said protection that he shall have allowance thereof, and if he shall finde sufficient suerties to be alwaies forthcominge, suche as 236 HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS COMMISSION.

Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint under Her Sign Manual certain Commissioners to ascertain what unpublished MSS. are extant in the collections of private persous and in institutions which are calculated to throw light upon subjects connected with the civil, ecclesiastical, literary, or scientific history of this country. The present Commissioners are : — Lord Esher, Master of the Rolls, the Marquess of Salisbury, K.G., the Marquess of Lothian, K.T., the Earl of Rosebery, K.G., Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Limerick, Lord Acton, Lord Carlingford, K.P., and Mr. H. C. Maxwell Lyte, C.B. The Commissioners think it probable that you may feel an interest in this object and be willing to assist in the attainment of it; and with that view they desire to lay before you an outline of the course which they usually follow. If any nobleman or gentleman express his willingness to submit any unprinted book, or collection of documents in his possession or custody to the examination of the Commissioners, they will cause an inspection to be made by some competent person, and should the MSS. appear to come within the scope of their enquiry, a report containing copies or abstracts of them will be drawn up, printed, and submitted to the owner, with a view to obtaining bis consent to the publication of the whole, or of such part of it as he may think fit, among the proceedings of the Commission, which are presented to Parliament every Session. To avoid any possible apprehension that the examination of papers by the Commissioners may extend to title-deeds or documents of present legal value, positive instructions are given to every person who inspects MSS. on their behalf that nothing relating to the titles of existing owners is to be divulged, and that if in the course of his work any modern title-deeds or papers of a private character chance to come before him, they are to be instantly put aside, and are not to be examined or calendared under any pretence whatever. The object of the Commission is solely the discovery of unknown historical and literary materials, and in all their proceedings the Commissioners will direct their attention to that object exclusively. In practice it has been found more satisfactory, when the collection of manuscripts is a large one, for the inspector to make a selection therefrom at the place of deposit and to obtain the owner's consent to remove the selected papers to the Public Record Office in London, where they can be more fully dealt with, and where they are preserved with the same care as if they formed part of the muniments of the realm, during the term of their examination. Among the numerous owners of MSS. who have allowed their family papers of historical interest to be temporarily removed from their muniment rooms and lent to the Commissioners to facilitate the preparation of a report may be named : The Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Portland, the Marquess of Salisbury, the Marquess Townshend, the Earl of Dartmouth, the Earl of Ancaster, Lord Braye, Lord Hothfield, Mrs. Stopford Sackville, Mr. le Fleming, of Rydal, and Mr. Fortescue, of Dropmore. The costs of inspections, reports and calendars, and the conveyance of documents, will be defrayed at the public expense, without any. charge to owners. The Commissioners will also, if so requested, give their advice as to the best means of repairing and preserving any papers or MSS. which may be in a state of decay, and are of historical or literary value. The Commissioners will feel much obliged if you will communicate to them the names of any gentlemen who may be able and willing to assist in obtaining the objects for which this Commission has been issued.
