Lord Coke defines a record to be "an anthentic and uncon- troulable testimony in vrriting, contained in rolls of parch- ment, and preserved in conrts of record ;" and records are said to be " ' ilonumeDta qnse nos recorda vocamus sunt veritatis et vettistatis vestigia' — a. monument of so hish a nature as it imports in itself such an absolute verity, as if it be pleaded, ' there is no such record,' it shall not receive trial bv wit- ness, jury, or otherwise, but by itself; for, in evidence before a jury, the copy of a record will be sufficient proof of its existence and contents." In every age, the records of a country have been esteemed interesting to its inhabitants. They reveal the mysteries of remote ages, minister to national importance, perhaps to national vanity, and afford instructive contrast with modem times. They invite a desire of inquiry, whether they be regarded as serving to illustrate national history, or as the expositors of individual rights ; treasures of which it is difficult to decide whether they belong with a greater " em- phasis of interest" to the civilian or to the sage ; and as thev register the reminiscences either of prosperity or decay, an acquaintance with them suggests admiration of deeds of illus- trious note, or detestation of ignorance or iniquitv. As has been well observed: " Science and literature have many departments, not one of which is undeserving of our regard, so long as it is cultivated in a liberal and philosophic spirit ; but the history of our own country and of its language has especial claims on our consideration. It is no morbid feeling which leads us to turn with a longing and affectionate interest to our ancient history and literature. It is no fond national conceit which inspires us with the desire to Z B 1: VI PREFACE. gather and preserve those of its scattered records which have escaped the tooth of time or the ravages of barbarism." The Grecians and the Romans were solicitous for the pre- servation of their recortls; and in the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians and the Assyrians we find imperishable memorials of their history and habits. In "cncral, histories show abundant marks of ignorance and incorrectness with regard to the existence and contents of our public records, a fact of which there is uniform testimony from the daj-s of Lord Bacon and Lord Coke to our own times. When a person engaged in historical or antiquarian research wishes to build upon the evidence of public docu- ments — the only sure foundation of historical truth — it ordi- narilv hajipens that in the progress of Ids incjuiry he is obliged to refer to many records, as it is obvious that the records of nations must be a princijial source upon which the history of those nations ought to be founded, and it is necessary for literary men, for the establishment of truth, to verify the authorities and references of early writers, yet how few have considered the importance of them in this respect? Infinite are the aids to be found in our record repositories, if they can be but brought to light. How much of the' internal convul- sions of Ireland and its position, may be ascribed to a conceal- ment, mutilation, or destruction of legal and constitutional evidences ? .Such was the opinion of the late Burton Conyng- ham, who wished to have the records of Ireland explored, authenticated and explained, after the manner of Ilymer, and at the public expense; and many valuable remains of antiquity, for want of an casj' and jiroper access to them, have long been Avithheld from public notice. Mr. Gilbert, the learned historian of the city of Dublin, states, that " owing to the inaccuracy, neglect, and mcagre- ness of previous \raters, the investigator is, at the present day, in his researches among unpublished and unindexcd original documents, obliged to encounter dilliculties and obstacles un- known to those who are not conversant with the neglected state of various departments of the historic literature of Ireland;" and suggests, " that the Goverinnerit would adopt measures for PREFACE. VU tlie publication of the ancient unpublished Anglo-Irish public records, numbers of which, containing important historic materials, are now mouldering to decay ; while the unindexed and unclassified condition of tliose in better preservation, ren- ders their contents almost unavailable toliterary investigators. These observations apply more especially to the statutes and enactments of the early Anglo-Irish parliaments, upwards of twelve hundred of which still remain unpublished, although the ancient legal institutes of England, Scotland, and Wales, have been long since printed at the public expense. The most valuable illustrations of the history of the English ijovernment in Ireland are derivable from these Anglo-Irish statutes." Mr. Gilbert complains, that " while in other countries the publica- tion of the national records, and the labours of previous dili- gent investigators, have facilitated the inquiries of historians, the total absence of such aids in this country, imposed upon him the double task of deciphering and collating the ancient documents in the various record repositories." The venerable Bede informs us that " Irish academies were numerous, and her schools full of all nations ;" historians have transmitted to us accounts of the anxiety of the Irish for the preservation of their records ; and we are informed that jjre- vious to the introduction of Christianity, periodical assemblies were ordered for the purpose of examining and regulating their monuments of antiquity, genealogies and chronicles; and whatever was approved of as authentic, was registered or enrolled for the benefit of posterity. Others incoi-rectly assert that the Irish, before the Engli.sh Conquest, had not any regular system of laws or government, or the benefit of offices of record for the custody of the material transactions of the State ; and that possibly afforded a good rea- son why the history of those remote times is so mysterious and unsatisfactory. If so, the collections concerning Irish affairs from the Tower of Loudon, contained in Rymer, Prynne, and a few others, show a material improvement in this respect. What the labom's of Mr. Rymer have accomplished, in an historical way, is well known; and from the like fund of materials some historian hereafter may be found to do credit to Ireland. VIU PREFACE. In tlie creat assemblies of civilized nations tlie rank of Ireland was once recognised. We read in Lynch, that after the re^^val of learning in Europe, when national preten- sions had been duly investigated, and indeed more jealously guarded, the antiquity of Ireland as a kingdom was dis- cussed before a competent tribunal. On one of those im- portant occasions, when the Kings and States of the Christian world assembled for regulatinf; national rishts, as well as other affairs of equal magnitude, and formed those great pub- lic Councils called the " Parliaments of Christendom," or " Senates of Europe," this point, as to Ireland's antiquity, was brought to issue. It appears by the enrolments of the French Rolls in the Tower, that a public Council was convoked in the city of Constance, and Henry the Fifth, then King of England, being unable to be personally jiresent, as he intended, at the assembly, or, as he says, " quia taliter pra.'pcditi quod ibidem juxta votura nostras mentis iiersonaliter interesse ncquimus," addressed royal letters to the other Kings of Eurojie requiring protection and safe conduct for the Abbot of York and other of his Abbots, then repairing to Constance, as also exemption for them, their attendants and retinue, from the usual dues payable while travelling through foreign dominions. Henry, at the same time, executed royal instruments whcreliy he made it known to the Council, that, being prevented from attending in person, he had appointed as his " Ambassiatores, Oratores, veros ct indubitatos, Procuratores, Actores, Fac- tores et Nuncios speciales," the Bishops of ]?;ith and Wells and St. David's, the Abbot of Westminster, the Earl of Warwick, and others, to bo present at such general Council, and in his name, and for him, to treat, discuss, and do all things neces- sary; and the character of the men who sat in this assembly as rejirescntatives of England, may be gathered from the words of a cotemporary historian : — " Utquu de aliis tnceanms, Ticli. t Baw'y PEEFACE. XI submitted to judicial investigation ; and it is a source of congratulation that tlioser venerable remnants of antiquity will shortly be presented to the public; for the Government, animated by an enlightened desire for the publication of the ancient records of the empire, have intrusted their publication to hands qualified for this uitei'esting duty.* To the Brehon was allotted an estate of inheritance, and in criminal cases he had the eleventh part of all fines ; and those laws seem to have been in general use in this country until the Statute of Kilkenny, 40° Edward III., which prohibited the inhabitants of the Pale from submitting to trial bv Bi'ehon Law. But, so late as the reign of Elizabeth, we find the " Brehon" in the full plenitude of his authority, being recoe- nised in that capacity in a judicial proceeding ; and, in the reign of James I., that law "was in large operation in the kingdom." It is a source of regret that we have not a perfect series of records, from the commencement in this country of the Eng- lish Government: occasioned by the decay of time; by the negligence of ofiicers ; by the insecurity in which they were kept ; and by casualties from fire. No public repository was devoted to their safe custody, nor was proper care taken for their preservation. The Talbots, Carews, Perrotts, and other illustrious personages, the Secretaries, Presidents, and Lord Lieutenants of Ireland, during their brief sojourn in this country, appear to have collected all the valuable MSS. within their reach ; and on the ex2:)iration of their office, and return to their own more tranquil homes, to have carried with them the most valuable and interesting records of the country — some of which are now to be found in the State Paper OfiSce, the Record Office, RoUs Chapel, the Museum, the Lambeth, Cottonian, Harleian, Lansdown, and Bodleian Li- braries, in the last of which are preserved the Perrott MSS., and amongst them the letters of Sir John Perrott to the Qusen and her ministry, while he was Lord Deputy of Ireland, from * On the SlLiiiorancla Roll of the 25" and 26° Edward III. we find " Ordinances" of that King (not noticed in the statutes of the realm), reciting, "Whereas, heretofore, by reason of debates between Encrlish and English, they have used to be governed by the law of the MarchtiS and of tiie Brehon, which is not law, nor ought to be law ; It is accordingly ordained, that neither be henceforth held between them." XU PUEFACE. July 2, 1584, to May 20, 1586. Amongst the MSS. Rawlin- son is the " Statutum de llibei'iiiu ;" and Orders of Parliament, transferred to the Select Committee, appointed to take care of the affliirs of Ireland. We may thus account for the wealth of the Cliandos Papers, and tliose in the possession, more than a century since, of Sterne, then Bishop of Clogher, so often mentioned in Nicholson's Historica Library. Of these, Madden and Sterne's collections were given to the Col- lege of T.C.D., where they now remain ; and hence we may account for the Carew MS. at Lambeth, and those at Oxford, brought there during the civil wars, when Charles the First carried on the government, and held parliaments in that city, and those contained in Lord Orrery's Library at Christ Church. Indeed, almost every country in Europe abounds with Irish documents. In the reign of Edward I. an Inn was established in the city of Dublin, called " Collett's Inn," which lay outside the walls of the city, and here the superior courts of justice were held. Soon an incident, natural to the then state of Ireland, disturbed their tranquillity. A band of Irish from the Wicklow mountains watched an oi)portunity, whilst the Dej)uty and a greater part of the garrison were on a military tour, and concealing themselves in thick woods to the soutliward of Dublin, unexpectedly entered, plundered the E.xchequer, burned the records, and slew the unarmed and unprepared inhabitants. On this occasion the legal prac- titioners were driven within the walls of the city, and the superior courts of justice were afterwards held at the Castle, and at Carlow, which was then considered an impregnable fortress, on the southern frontier of the English P;Je. In the reign of Edward II. almost all the early records of the kingdom perished ; wiiich fiict wo find thus recorded on the Patent Rolls: — "Be it remembered that all the Rolls of the Chancery of Ireland were, in the time of Ma.stcr Thomas Cantock, Chancellor of Irclan ,J PSXTACE. XTH Tiooshr to the king's demise, lodged the consideratjon moaer reqnired bv the Commissioners, had not procured patents ; a k in g's lerier was issued, fist Apri], in the first vear of the ensuing reign, directing that the patents of all such as -were so circumstanced should l>e completed. These eraiiis bans subsequent to those of the Acts of Setilement and Exj^anation, and appearing, to a certain extent, to have arisen out of them, mar be considered as forming a sequd or appendage to the Acts above referred to. and were, therefore, considered deerrinir bv the late Clerk of Enrolments, to have their contents dirested into a special abstract, of similar character to the abstracts of the grants published by the directions of the late Crescntatives, who, should they prove corrupt or ncrlio-ent, niiirht in a few hours destroy multitude's of them." In 1760, the Deputy Keeper of the Rolls described the record repository as in a very ruinous condition, though much better, he states, than for many years past, being re- paii'ed at great expense by Mr. Rigbj^ Master of the Rolls. At this period tlie King's Bench Office was kept in School- house-lane; the office of the Prothoiiotary of the Common Pleas, in Winetavern-street ; Keeper of the Writs, in Bride- street ; the Pleas Officer of tlie Exchequer, in Castle-street ; and the Chief Remembrancer's Office, in Kennedy 's-lane, not one being in a safe or commodious situation. Although the Irish Parliament froiiucntly directed their attention to the records of this country, and repeatedly evinced their opinion of the imjiortance of the subject, yet they a])pear to have i)rincipallj coiifmed their anxiety to pro- viding buildings for their sale keei)ing, but to have taken no steps towards affording information or facilitating inquiries into the contents of those records; and although both houses of the Irish Parliament, in the years 1721 and 17!tl, called for such returns, yet the statements given pm'suaut to their PEEFACE. XXI oi'ders were defective and valueless, and the subject was soon forgotten amidst the discussion of matters at that time consi- dered of more vital consequence. At length, in the year 1810, a Royal Commission issued for the better regulation of the records in Ireland, which were then "in a state of great confusion." By it the Commissioners wei'e directed " to methodize, regulate, and digest the records, rolls, books, and papers, in the public offices or repositories ; to cause such of the records, rolls, instruments, or papers, as were decayed and in danger of being destroyed, to be bound and secured ; to make perfect calendars and indices thereof, and to superintend the printing of such of the calendars, in- dices, and original records, as they should cause to be printed." The necessity for tliis proceeding will be found in a report ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, dated 7th July, 1830, where it is stated, that " in consequence of the confusion and dispersion of the records through various offices, it became necessary to undertake the laborious pri- mary process of collecting and arranging them in the proper repositories to which they belonged; as also of forming ab- stracts in order to provide the materials of many works for press or fair transcript, wherein several years were consumed and considerable expense incurred." These obstacles and difficulties, and the necessity of these preliminary proceedings, were laid before Parliament in a report of the Commissioners, in which it is also observed, " that with the exception of Lodge's MS. works, there did not exist in any repository a single calendar, repertory, index, or inventory, that the Com- mission could avail itself of in the progress of its labours, or by any correction render useful to the public ; aU was to be done anew, and the pile raised from the foundation." The Commissioners proceeded with their onerous task, but the work was not in active operation until February, 1811; the intermediate time having been occupied in ascertaining the contents of the several record repositories, by means of queries directed by the Board, and transmitted by their Secre- tary to the officers and keepers of such repositories. In adopt- ing this process, measures were taken, not only for ascertain- XXU PREFACE. iiig tlie contents of those repositories, but also for collecting such local infoi'niation as might be useful in the progress of the Commission. Tiie I'esnlt was laid before the Board at their second meeting, on the 18th of February, 1811, in a report made by the Secretary on the several answers returned to the transmitted queries. Sub-Commissioners were then appointed by the Board, to arrange, metliodi/.e, and to form catalogues, repertories, and indices to the contents of the fol- lowing repositories : viz., Bcrminghnm Tower, Parliamentary Record OiKce, Rolls Office, Cliief Remembrancer's OlKce,and Auditor-General's Office. Sub-Commissioners were also appointed to prepare and print an authentic edition of the luisii Statutes, according to the plan adopted in England. At this ])eriod it appears that considerable difficulties pi'e- sented themselves, arising ])rincipully from the deranged st;ite of the records, and the very imperfect knowledge of their contents possessed by those pei'sons in whose custody they had been placed, two or three only of whom had been found competent to read the more ancient writings. Those inte- resting memorials lay buried in se]iulchral vaults and cham- bers of the Law Courts, the Tower, and the Castle. The mouldering obscurity in whicli the most precious archives of the kingdom had so long reposed, was not favourable to their preservation, many decayed and perished in the catacombs in which they were entombed, and no inconsiderable nundjcr has been, doubtless, purloined. The dark cloud that so long rested on those rej)ositones concealed the origin and early progress of our early judicial institutions and Parliament, and the most esteemed general and local histories aboun and 1812. In the year 1812, returns having been obtained from all the record repositories, Sub-Commissioners were appointed PEEFACE. XXlll for arranging and methodizing the contents of the State Papers, and of the Prerogative and First Fruits Offices. At the same time the subject of schedules and inventories of the books and papers in the Surveyor-General's Office, and of the maps of the Down Survey, appears also to have engaged the attention of the Board ; and, accordingly, a Committee from their body investigated and reported upon various important matters connected with that valuable record. Tlie attention of the Commissioners appears further to have been directed to that part of the late Mr. Lodge's MSS., containing a list of patentee offices, which they directed to be prepared for pub- lication. In the following year they ordered one of their Sub- Commissioners to complete the Catalogue of the MSS. of Trinity College, for printing; and in 1814, when some pro- gress had been made in the principal offices and repositories, Sub-Commissioners were appointed to complete the "Ac/a Reffia lliheniicd ;" a work that had been commenced by Mr. Lodge and found amongst his manuscripts. The Commissioners, by their report of the year 1819, re- viewing the proceedings which had been taken by the Com- mission since its commencement, state that their attention had been directed, in conformity with the powers vested in them, not only to the arrangement, preservation, and more conve- nient use of the contents of the principal record repositories in Ii-eland, but also to such works as would bring to light and pi'eserve the authentic memorials of the property, laws, and government of this part of the United Kingdom. The Dio- cesan and County Records, and the necessity of their com- plete security and preservation, also came under the consider- ation of the Board ; but measures respecting them were neces- sarily ~ postpioned until some progress should be made in investigating the j^rincipal repositories, in Dublin. In Bermingham Tower a large quantity of mutilated and injured records was found, which, until that time, lay un- explored; and it was exj^ected that amongst them would be found some of a date more ancient than the oldest known to be preserved in the department, particularly those during the reigns of Henry II. and King John. But such hopes were XXIV PREFACE. found delusive, altliough in a manuscript preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin (Class F, Shelf 3, No. 13), it is stated that, before the year 1680, there was amongst those records a Roll of the Pipe of the 13th and 14th years of King John: "/// codem archiro .sire tiirri, cut iiiuis rutulus pi]ia;, an 13 d- 14 E. Jolni^' ibidem etiam sunt diversi Rotuli Pipae quidam Rot' comun' placitor' tempore Hen. HI." No Roll of the reign of King John was found in that repository ; but there was discovered a fragment of a Pipe Roll of the 13° & 14° Henry IH., which happened to begin with the word "Johannes" (being the Christian name of the first person occurring on it), and which, from that circumstance, was mis- taken for a Roll of King John. The Commissioners on Municipal Corporations acknow- ledge they were unable to discover certain collections, made by the late Record Commissioners, from the records between the 18th of Richard II. and 1st of James I. (a period of about 200 years); but that they had endeavoured to supply the deficiencies by reference to the original records within their reach. They state, in a note, " they have reason to believe that early records of the Irish Corporations were to be found in the Tower of London and other repositories in England, to which they had not the o])portunity of referring." In the year 1815 the first volume of the reports of the Commissioners was presented to the public: it contains the first, second, thu'd, fourth, and fifth Annual Reports, with Sup- plements, and the returns from the several record offices, and the state of the records in each. The second volume appeai'ed in 1820, and contains the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth Annual Reports, and, in addition, comprises Catalogues and Inventories of tiie Contents of the Bermingbam Tower Record Room, the Parliamentary Record Office, the State Paper Room in the Record Tower, the Surveyor-General's and Auditor-General's Office, the Rolls, the Chief Remem- brancer's Offices, the Quit-Rent Office, and the Prerogative Office. The tliird volume appeared in 182."), and contains an abstract and reference to tlic principal records and ])ub- lic documents connected witii tiie Acts of Settlement and PEEFACE. XXV Explanation, preserved in the Rolls and Chief Remembrancer's Offices. In the year 1812 an incomjilete work, entitled, " Liber Munerum Publicorum Hibernite, or the Establishments of Ireland," was undertaken to be printed under the direction of the Record Commissioners, from a collection of MS. books, formed by Mr. Lodge (Deputy Keeper of the Rolls and of the Records in Bermingham Tower) from the Patent and Close Rolls. Mr. Duhigg, of the King's Inns, who had collected further materials for extending the subjects of Mi-. Lodge's volumes, was appointed a Sub-Commissioner, and directed to complete two volumes (part of those collections) of patentee offices for publication. In the Third Report of the Commis- sioners, vol. i., pp. 481 and 486, it is stated that a plan for an edition of Lodge's list of patentee offices was laid before the Board by INIr. Duhigg, but not adopted : and the printing of the work was suspended until progress should be made with the Repertory to the Patent Rolls ; and Mr. Rowley Lascelles, in 181 3, was appointed a Sub-Commissioner, and Mr. Duliiggs coadjutor ; and they were appointed to prepare a plan of the woi-k, confining their attention to the documents from wliich Mr. Lodge had formed his lists. The plan having been laid be- fore the Commissioners, Mr. Lascelles was directed to carry it into execution without illustration. "In consequence of some disagreement with the Irish Record Commissioners, Mr. Lascelles returned to England about the year 1820, and agreed with the Government, in 1822, to com- pile and edit the work, unconnected with the Irish Record Commission. This agreement was made with the Right Hon- ourable Henry Goulbourn, then Secretary for Ireland ; and Mr. Lascelles was engaged on the work until the year 1830, when it was determined, upon certain representations, not to proceed with the work, and it was suspended, in January, 1830, by an order of the Irish Secretary, Lord Francis Egerton. On the 1st November, 1831, Mr. Stewart, the Secretary of the Treasury, addressed a letter to the Commis- sioners of Records for England, requesting them to examine, the work. Their report was made in February, 1832, to the XXVI PREFACE. Treasury; and from the representations contained in tliat report of its incompleteness, imperfections, and improper in- troduction of irrelevant matter, and the great expense in re- vising and remodelling it, the work, consisting of seven parts, was not then proceeded with. Considering, however, that the work had been found useful by many persons, and that great expense had been incurred, it was at length determined to allow the work to appear without incurring further expense in comjileting it; and although the Commissioners recom- mended that tlie supplement to the " Historj' of England,'' or " Res Gestaj A nglorum in Hibernia," should be suppressed, as well as other matters, for introducing which Mr. Ijascelles liad no authority ; but as the expense of printing had been incurred, it was thought better to publish it as Mr. Lascelles left it, " the merits or demerits of the work belonging to that gentleman." Accordingly, in 1852, two large folio volumes were published ; but it is to be regretted, as Mr. Lascelles him- .self acknowledged, various portions are given in an imperfect and unmethodical form. Lists have been printed, with notices at the end that they would be vci'ificd at a future time, and corrected in a subsequent sheet. Besides this, there is a want of system in the arrangement ; the different lists are often separated instead of being amalgamated, occasioning rej)eti- tions and confusion. Chronological order has not been duly observed ; in some instances the series which ought to precede in chronological order is made to follow a list of later date. Illustrative matter not strictly in keeping with the character of the work is introduced, such as biographical sketches, anec- dotes, and epitaphs ; yet, with every defect and irregularity, the collection constitutes a storehouse of information relating to the official history of Ireland. In the year 182poiutment of Justices and PREFACE. XXXI Commissioners, as well civil as niilitaiy ; for the conversion of lands held by the Irish custom of tanistry into the English custom of tenure ; and on various other subjects. The next class of records preserved in this office are the Close Rolls. The oldest is one of the 20° Edward II. It contains liberates, writs of various kinds, pardons of aliena- tion, recognizances, deeds, and an article entitled " Staliiltim de Ilihcniiar Those Rolls do not appear to have been con- tinued in regular succession ; some occnr in the reigns of Richard 11., Henry IV., Henry VI., Edward IV., Henry VII., Edward VI., Elizabeth, and Charles I. It is observable that any distinction which might originally have existed between the Close and Patent Rolls was discontinued in course of time, although the name of the former was still preserved ; for both species of Rolls contain matters of a similar kind, and in no instance is there a Close and Patent Roll for the same year, which, if they were meant to be distinct in their nature, could not but in some instance have been the case ; and as f;xr back as the books of reference to the Rolls extend, the Close Rolls are referred to without any distinction between the Patent Rolls and them. The Statute Rolls, comprising both the public and private Statutes passed in the Irish Parliament, commence in the reign of Henry VI. They include the reigns of Henry VI., Edward IV., Richard HI., Henry VII., Henry VIII., Philip and Mary, Elizabeth, and James I., and comprise forty-five Rolls. They are without any calendar or index to the 11° James I. From this period to 1715, the public and private Acts being promiscuously enrolled together on the same series of Rolls, an imperfect calendar was at that time made, of both kinds of Acts; but from 1715 to 1800, inclusive, when our Parliament ceased, the private Acts being enrolled separately, there was a regular catalogue and index made to those private Acts (but to the entire exclusion of all the public Acts), which is in good order. The Statute Rolls, prior to 10° Henry VII., are all in Norman-French, the then legal as well as general language of the Court ; and as there are printed Statutes long prior to the oldest Parliamentary XXXU PREFACE. Roll appearing here, some of the more ancient of those Rolls must liave been lost. The late Record Commissioners stated in their report, that they met with a MS. note, written about the year lOS-l, in one of the old reference books in the office, by which it appeared that a Parliamentary Roll of Edward III., was then in the possession of the Lord Primate, Arch- bishop Usher. The Recognizance Rolls commence in the reign of Henry VIII.; the latest is one of the 10° Charles I. They are about twenty in number, and are, in general, in good preseryation ; but as there is no index of any kind to them in the office, no reference has been made to them for many years, and their contents are almost entirely unknown. The Rolls of Cromwell commence in 1653, and end in 1659. Tiiey contain some grants and charters, but mostly deeds and other memoranda. They form 2)art of the series of Patent Rolls, The Decrees of the Court of Chancery, preserved here, commence in the 24° Ilem-y VIII. There is a chasm in those Rolls, from 1643 to 1655, owing to the suspension of business by the dis.sensions in this kingdom during that period. Thence, until the Restoration, there are Rolls of the decrees and adjudications of the Commissioners for the ad- ministration of Justice in Ireland. The decrees or certifi- cates of the Commissioners appointed for executing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation are separately preserved, and are in very good condition. The Convert Rolls connnence in 1703, and contain the enrol- ments of bishops' and ministers' certificates to such persons as had conformed to the Protestant religion. The bishops' certi- ficates end in 1782, and the ministers' then begin, and continue in regular succession to a late period. The bundles contain cer- tificates from the Prothonotaries of the Superior Courts of Law, and from other officers, before whom affidavits were made, staling that every such person so confoi'ming had, within a limited time (six months), received the Sacrament, and per- formed the other legal requisites. Tiiose certificates commoiico ill 170i), and end in 1781, and were filed in the Rolls" Office, PREFACE. xxxiii where tliey are now conveniently arranged and preserved, as also the bishops' and ministers' certificates, which are likewise kept in bundles. The Roman Catholic Rolls, commencing in 1778, contain the qualifications of Roman Catholics, and were made up and prejmred by certain oflicers in the Courts of Exchequer, Queen's Bench, and Common Pleas, and by the Clerks of the Peace, who occasionally, as it suited their convenience, returned them into this office, many of them in a state so obliterated, obscure, and incorrect, that it is difficult to decipher the names on them; here also are preserved the Rolls of qualifica- tion of the forty-shilling freeholders, and Rolls of a similar nature, pursuant to 10° George IV. The Rolls and Pleadings of the Palatine Court of Tip- perary contain leases of hinds from the Duke of Ormond, to several lessees, commencing in 1703, and ending in 1714. The pleadings contain bills and answers, filed in the Court Palatine, commencing in 1662, and ending in 1714. Those documents were deposited in this office pui'suant to an Act of Parliament, passed in the 2° George I. The Letters of Guardianship and Committeeship of Luna- tics, under the present arrangement, commence in 1796, and are kept in bundles, or upon files, and have an alphabetical book of reference made to them, which is in good order. The Fiats ai'e next in point of number and importance. They comprise the original instruments under the Privy Seal, directing Lettei's Paterit to he passed, and are authen- ticated by the signature either of the Sovereign or of the Lords Justices or Lord Deputy of the time. They com- mence in the 21st year of Henry VIIL, and are continued to the present time. They were all supposed to be enrolled on the Patent Rolls, hut numerous instances occur where the ]iatent not being found on the Rolls, reference must be made to the original Fiat, or in the event of the Roll being lost, or in any portion illegible, the examination of the Fiat serves to supply the deficiency ; those I'ecords, in consequence, have always been considered of great value. They are pre- served in large bundles, generally arranged according to the c XXxiv PREFACE. years of the reign. To the reign of Elizabeth and James I. there is an index noniinum, but none to tliose subsequent to the latter date. Tliese instruments are of tlie more value, considering that if aeeident liai)pen to an^' of the Patent liolls, they can he replaced, in a great nieasui'e, by the Fiats. An interesting and numerous class of records here ai"e the Inquisitions //o.s/ murtim. Those records, which are very nume- rous, and hi'ddv vaUiahlo in many respects, commence in the reitrn of Elizabeth and extend to tiie Restoration, soon after which they ceased. They were Uiken under Connnissions, directed to the Escheators of each Province, and fonnns are first cla.ssed into four provinces, and then subdivideil into counties. They are carefully anndent of their legal and historical value, it fremiently occurs that wlu-re. from want of accurate infonn^iiiMii, \\.' -iv,- unable to lind PREFACE. XXXV a jiarticular patent, we can gonerallj- satisfy the inquiry suggested, hv ret'erring to the Inquisitions of that particular county, and to this extent tliey sup[)ly tlie want of the patent. Here are also preserved the celebrated Inquisitions find- ing the title of Charles I. to the province of Connaught; they are called " Stratford's Inquisitions," having been taken before that nobleman in the years 1636 and 1637. They include all the lands in the province, and the names of the teuant.s and holders thereof at the time, with the exception of the county of Leitrim, of which county no Inquisition appears to have been taken. The oldest Transmiss of Public and Private Acts of Parlia- ment preserved in this office is in the reign of Henry VII. Thence they continue until the time of the Union. One in the rei^n of Henry VIII. iirants the title of King of Ireland to that Monarch. They are in good preservation, but there is no list of them, or index of any kind. These records, which had been previously preserved in the Parlia- menfciry Office, were transferred to this office for preservation at the time of the Union, by the directions of the late Lord Chancellor Clare. There are also remaining in the Rolls' Office sundry original records, called " Miscellanea," which cannot be classed under any of tlie previous heads. Tliey consist of surveys, charters, rentals, patents, and other instruments, which may not now be necessary to detail, but they are all, in common with the Rolls and other records of the office, of value and interest, and mv experience enables me, on all occasions, to consult them without much difficulty. Another class of interesting records here preserved are roval presentations to ecclesiastical benefices, many of which devolved to the Crown, by the 32° Henry VIII., many by forfeiture, and many stated to be " per lapsum temporis," " devoluto jure," " vel quocunque alio modo," manifesting that the Crown was anxious to perpetuate its title and to establish proofs for succeeding genei"ations. The MS. Book of Common Prayer, to which reference is made by the Statute of Uniformity, was, before the Union, XXXVI PREFACE. jireservcd in tlie Irisli Parliament Office, and is now deposited ill the Kolls Office; it is a folio vohunc containing 283 leaves. As doubts liave lieen expressed whether this manu- script book is the one originally annexed to the Statute of Uniformity, 17° & 18° Car. II., c. 6, it may be useful to ex- j)lain that, in the reign of Charles II., the mode pursued for enacting a Statute for Ireland was as follows : — the Bill passed the Irish Parliament and was transmitted by the Lord Lieu- tenant of Ireland to England, in order to receive the assent of the Lords and Commons in England, and then it was re- turned by the King to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who, upon its receipt, in consecjucnce of a writ to that etlect, went down to the House of Lords and gave the royal assent. The Statute was then de])osited in the Irish Parliament Office and a copy sent to the RkIIs. It is, however, extraordinary, that no copy cither of the Rook of Common Praver belonging to the Enirlish Act of Uniformity, or of that belonging to the Irish Act of Uni- foriiiitv, was forwarded to the Rolls Chai)el in England, or to the UdIIs OfKce in Ireland ; and it may also be remarked, that of the calendar and tables annexed to Statute 24° George II., c. 23, no trace is to be found amongst the ]{olls at the Rolls C'ha])el. This MS. volume, which is attached U> the Act of Uni- fiirmity, is the only original in existence, the MS. which was attached to the English Act of Uniformity having been long since lost. The English Prayer Books have been tjiken from what were called " Sealed Rooks," that is, certitied copies of the original. But in these sealed books were several uiistiikcs, as appears by the original in the Rolls Office. This MS. hits been printcl by the l-lcclesiastical History Society ; and the editor (Archibald .lohn Stephens, Esij.,) con- ceived that the only ]>rnpcr ]>lan for him to adopt was to give, a.-! near as possible, a facsimile of the original, and thus not to take upon him.self to ilecitle whether the alterations were made before or after the enactment of the Statute, or lo sjiecu- lato upon the words, letters, or punctuation which have been oblitemted. PREFACE. XXXVII Auiiil tlie \-;ist accumulation of I'ecords and muniments wliicli is to bo found in tlie archives of tliis country, none justly stand in higher estimation than the Patent Rolls of Cliancery, whether considered in respect to tlie antiquity, utihty, or variety of tlie documents with which they abound. To give effect to the royal j)leasure, when signiiied under the sign manual, or by priv}- signet, in favour of any indivi- dual or body politic or corj)orate, letters patent, specifying the inducement, and defining the nature, extent, and tenure of the grant, with the conditions and penalties annexed, were directed to issue under the great seal of the kingdom. The Patent Rolls (patentes) were those open grants from the Crown, for they were open to the inspection of all, and so called patent. The Close Rolls (clauses) were so called, because they contained writs from the Crown, sealed and directed to the officers by whom they were received, and to whom alone they were open ; as also royal letters, obligations, recogni- zances, deeds ; but it is to be observed, that any differences which might have originally existed between the Close and Patent Rolls was discontinued in the reign of Charles I. The enrolment of these instruments was not reqiured by law until the Statute of Chai'les rendered it imperative ; yet, in times antecedent thereto, it was no unusual thing to insert in the patent, a clause nullifying the grant, unless enrolled within a given time; and, even in the absence of such provi- sion, the patentees themselves had recourse, in most instances, to this precaution, for their own security, and to avoid the inconvenience, if not loss, resulting from neglect; for it some- times occurred that the king was deceived in granting to one subject what had been previously passed away from the Crown in favour of another, no record existing of the previous grant. The Patent Rolls, although commencing with a Roll of the tenth year of King Edward L, contain grants made by King Henry II., by John, as well when Earl of Morton as when king; by King Henry III. and King Edward I. With the exception of the reigns of the first three Edwards, in which some chasms exist, and a chasm in the reign of Henry XXXVIll PUKFACE. VIII., (luring the first twenty years of whose reign there is but one Roll (of the sixth) remaining, the series forms almost one continuous and mibroken chain down to tlie present time. How this loss occurred has never been clearly ascer- tained; Ijut the 7-fs yvslce of the reign of Henry VIII. are pretty accurately written by Sir James Ware, and some interesting evidences relating to it will be tiiund in Kynier; and copious materials connected willi this i)eriod of the English history of Ireland will be found in Lambeth Library, in which are preser\ed the indentures and treaties of peace between the Chief Governor and the Irish chief- tains, letters, petitions, orders, instructions, journal-:, acts |of council, submissions, imjuisitions, and other I\LSS., to the reign of James I. Those records cover a period C)f time which, of itself, speaks their autiiiuity; and, as regards the utility and variety of them, whether the labours of the anti<|uary, the objects of the historian, the pursuits of the legal jmicti- tioncr, or the purposes of general inquiry are to be served ; they may be best ex]ilained by the enumeration of the cha- racter of the documents which have been previously det^jiled. To explore these stores of information and unfold their contents is the object, as far as it extends, of the jireseiit work. Here the historian ami antiquary will find the letters ami corresj)ondence of Henry VII I., Edward VI., Mary, and Eli/jibeth with tlie Lord Deputy and the Irish Executive, commending their zeal, summoning parlianu»nts, jiarcelling out entire territories, incorporating towns, and eiuKibling the meritorifius; conciliating the Irish chieftains, or, as tlu'v were calleil, " Ca])tains of their nations," negociating with them for tlie surrender of their territories, and enjoining their dtie (ilK'dience and submission to the English rule, lauiruage, and coslunie; treaties of peace and sidmiissions of the Irish chief- tains. Tile great M'Carthy More, after ravaging the south, comes "sans protection," before the Lord Depot v, describing liimself n.s the " most unworthy and unnatural ICarl, who, with inward sorrow of mind and most hearty repentance, recalling the great benefits anpy reign, and that it would please Him to unveil his eyes and grant him gi-ace to remain in her dutiful service, which he now dedicates to her Majesty, to the last drop of his blood." Cavanagli undertakes to maintain the accustomed fiiirs in his territory; and not permit any wicked, nefarious, or plun- dering act to be committed at the pass, either by land or water ; and will banish and repudiate all their idle men ; none of them will ride armed, save the Captain ; and will not exact, beyond the bounds of their own country, any exactions, " coyne, or livery." Savage is to give the Lord Leonard Gray, for his favour and friendship, 100 fat cows, one good horse, or fifteen Irish marks in lieu of the latter. O'Byrne undertakes to serve at the hostings with his followers, at his own expense, and he will pay to the king Ad. Irish, yearly, for every horse, mare, xl . PREFACE. COW, bull, or ox tliut ill future he shall possess. He uiuler- tnkes not to harbour the O'Tools, or succour any of them flviiic f(ir protcctiim, and ho will send to the hosting a banner with twenty linate nuniljor of footmen, according to the usage of liis country. O'Karroll will find provision in his county for eighty sparres or galloglasses, for a ([uarter of a-year, and will furnish twelve good horsemen and twenty -four foot soldiers. De Burgo covenants that each captain of his county shall pay £40 yearly rent to the king and 100 marks for his nomination. (J MoUoy undertakes to serve the Deputy against the traitor O'Connor, and maintain Lord M'Geoghegan. O'Toole will use the English costuine and manner, and the English language to the best of his know- ledge ; the Great Desmond, affects su[)erlative demonstration of sorrow and penitential expression of his anguish at his treason and defection; ami Shnne O'Neill, when he couKl no longer keep the Claneboy with " the strong hand," pathetically la- ments his great ingratitude to liis generous mistress. The lawyer will find the economy of judicial proceedings of Chancery at this remote period — the bill, answer, replica- tion, rejoinder, decree, mandamus, and injunction, and, what is indicative of the temper of the times, the removal of suits to the decision of the Lord De]nity and Council, when the petitioner was a))prehensive of a failure of justice in the regions " without the Pale." The defeat in the north of the chieftiiins, Shane O'Neil, O'Donnell, O'Dogherty, and Maguire, in the reign of Eliza- beth, allonled an opportunity of ))lantiiig that portion of the country; Dcsmoml, in the south, liaviiig rushed to arms, was overthrown, and his vast territoryconfiscated. In conse(|uence, we find the patents rapiilly increasing, and assuming, for the first time, a character of onler and precision commensurate with the imi>rovemcnt of the jicriod, the facilities of English communication, and the ilesire, by express and definite pro- visions, to extir]>ate tlie ])re-exi.sting tenures of the Irish: lor- bidding the nssum|ition of the Irisli costume or sirname — the division of lands according to the ancient custom of gavel- kind — the use of the Brehon laws or the laws of Tanistrv — PREFACE. xli and enjoining the inhabitants, in all modes and on all occa- sions, to adopt the English habits, language, government, rules and costume. The inquirer into the state of the Chui'ch will find the nomination of the bishops and clergy, the removal of the in- competent, the establishment of the reformed faith, and the pro- ceedings of the historian Bale, of whom the Queen, writing (after his flight from his bishoprick) to Sentleger, says, " send over the books and writings of Bale, a man that hath byn studious in the serche for the history and antiquities of this our realme, which he left behind him, in the tyme of our late sister Queue Mary, when he was occasioned to depart out of Ireland, for the illustration and setting forth of the ' stori/e' of this our realme by him the said Bale." In addition to all that had been done in relation to the pub- lication of the English records, on the 26th of January, 1857, the Master of the Rolls of England submitted to the Trea- sury a proposal for the publication of materials for the history of England from the Invasion of the Romans to the reign of Henry VIII. His Honor suggested that these materials should be selected for publication under competent editors, without reference to periodical or chronological arrangement, without mutilation or abridgement ; preference being given, in the fii'st instance, to such materials as were most scarce and valuable. He proposed that each chronicle or historical document to be edited should be treated in the same way as if the editor were engaged on an editio princeps; and for this pur- pose the most correct test should be formed from an accurate collation of the best MSS. To render the work more generally useful, the Master of the Rolls suggested that the editor should give an account of the MSS. in question ; that he should add to the work a brief account of the life and times of the author, and any remarks necessary to explain the clu^onology ; but no other note or comment was to be allowed, except what might be necessary to establish the correctness of the text. The works to be published in octavo, separately, as they d xlii PREFACE. were finished; the wliolo responsibility of the task resting upon the editors, who were to be chosen by the Master oi tlie Rolls, witli the sanction of tlie Treasury. The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, after a careful con- sideratitin of the subject, expressed their opinion in a Trea- sury Minute, dated February 0, 18'>7, that the plan recom- mended by the Master of the Rolls " was well calculated for the acconi])lislMncnt of this national object, in an effectual and satisfactory manner, within a reasonable time, and ])rovi(led proper attention be paid to economy, in making the detailed arrangements, without unnecessary expense." They expressed their ajiprobation of the proposal that each chronicle and historical document should be edited in such a manner as to represent, with all possible correctness, the text of each writer, derived from a collation of the best manuscripts. They suggested, however, that the preface to each work should contain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the ^Master of the Rolls, a biographical account of the autlior, so far as authentic materials existed for that purpose, and an estimate of his historical credibility and value. In consequence of this decision, several most interesting volumes have been already given to the public ; amongst them, " Ro^-al and Historical Letters during the Reign of Henry IV. ;" " Ilistoria Regis Ilenrici Sej>tinii a Ber- narilo Andrea Theolosato Conscrij)ta, necnon alia quajdam ad eundem Regem Spectantia ;" " Munimenta Gildhaliaj Londoniensis ;" "Liber albiis, liber custumarum ot liber horn;" "Chronicon M(jnasterii dc Abingdon" (2 vols.); " Monumenta Fnuiciscana ;" " Capgrave's Chronicle of Eng- land ;" "Lives of I^dward the Confessor;" " iMemorials ot Henry V.;" "Political Poems and Songs, composed during the period from the accession of Edward the HI. to that of Richaril III.;" " Bartholoma-i de Cotton Monachi Norwicen- sis Historia Anglicana" (12!)8); "Ilistoria filona-sterii S.

In consideration of this donation and restitution, the dean and chapter were required to maintain for ever a schoolmaster and usher, to teach grammar, and the same number of poor alms-men as the church was wont to maintain before the late dissolution; which alms-men are, at all times to be nominated by the Deputy, or Lord Lieutenant for the time being, being maimed or disabled persons of honest conversation and manner3,who have served the crown faithfully in Ireland ; the nomination of the schoolmaster was reserved to the archbishop, and both the school-house and alms-house, which was established by letters patent on the dissolution of the cathedra], were hereby dissolved : by the final clause the right of electing their 526 PATENT AND CLOSE ROLLS, [1569.

The Lords of the Privy Council in England to Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy, " Of late we received letters from your Lordship with a case therein containing these words, 'Whereas for the space of four hundred years and more, in the city of Dublin there have been two churches accounted cathedrals, each having a several chapter, dean, and seal, the consents of both and the seals of both having been accustomed to be had and put to every grant made of anything appertaining to the archbisiiop; the last year of King Henry VIIL, the one church, namely. Saint Patrick's, with the consent of the dean and the most part of the chapter of the same, in their chapter house, did yield and give up, without the assent of the bishop, into the king's possession, the said church and all things thereto belonging, to him, his heirs and successors ; whether this was a lawful dissolution or surrender or no, is the first doubt, for the bishop consented not to it. Then the same bishop, in King Edward's reign, and before the restitution of Saint Patrick's, made a lease with the consent of the dean and chapter of the other church, named Christ Church only, for that indeed Saint Patrick's ■was, in all opinion and assurance, dissolved, the priests excluded, the lands dissipated, and the church converted to lay uses ; whether this lease thus made be good to bind the successor or no, is the second doubt.' By your Lordship's letter we were requested, for that some difficulty and doubt grew upon the said case before your Lordship, to send you our opinions and resolutions thereon, whereby your Lordship might be the better satisfied and instructed of your judgment to be given in that behalf. These be therefore to signify unto your Lordsjbip, that we have not only heard the matter and cause debated by learned counsel, both on behalf of the Archbishop of Dublin, and also on behalf of Roger Brereton, between -whom we 2 u 530 l-.VTENT AND CLOSE ROLLS, [1569.
