To Thomas Pendergaest Esq now Sir Thomas Pendergast Baronet 2 Grants containing 7082 Acres upon the most valuable consideration of his discovering a most barbarous and bloody Conspiracy to Assassinate the King 's Most Excellent Majesty to destroy the Liberties of England and in consequence the Protestant Religion throughout Europe 48. To Mr. John Baker 1647 Acres in consideration of the great and memorable services his Father Colonel Henry Baker performed in the defence of the City of Londonderry 49. To Thomas Corry Esq 2 Grants one of a Mortgage of 2000 l. in Fee of several Lands in the County of Wicklow due to Sir Edward Scott from the Earl of T-r-ne the other of 1725 Acres The considerations mentioned in the Letters Patents are his House being burnt and his having furnished the Garison of Enniskilling with provisions and materials to the value of 3000 l. at his own expence But enquiring into the merits of this Gentleman it appears to us that he gave no assistance to the Garison of Enniskilling that in the Town of Enniskilling he publickly declared he hop'd to see all those hang'd that took up Arms for the Prince of Orange and his House was burnt by the said Garison 50. The rest of the Grants with the former appear in the Book N. 6. and are comprehended in the general values 51. It is to be observed that all the Acres mentioned in this Report are meant Plantation Acres which bear a proportion to English as 441 is to 264. 52. It is further to be observed that the Estates above-mentioned do not yield so much to the Grantees as they are here valued at for as most of them have abused his Majesty in the real value of their Estates so their Agents have imposed on them and have either sold or let the greatest part of them at great under value 53. We are further to take notice that most of the Lands in the several Grants aforesaid were granted under the Exchequer Seal in Custodium for small numbers of years or during pleasure either to the present Grantees or other persons by which means very little profit of them hath accrued to his Majesty The greatest part of the Custodiums are now expired but those few yet in being appear in a Book at the lower end of the Grants N. 6. 54. In the next place we humbly acquaint your Honours with the several Incumbrances that affect the Estates forfeited and not restored and here we shall take notice of such only as are found by Inquisition or have been allowed by his Majesty's Court of Exchequer most of which last have been in pursuance of her late Majesty's Letter dated _____ to the Lords Justices of Ireland which required that all Protestants should try the validity of their Incumbrances in the most speedy manner without subjecting them to dilatory or chargeable methods 55. All the Statutes Judgments Mortgages or other Debts which appear to us as aforesaid to affect the Estates not restored amount to 161936 l. 15 s. 6 d. the particulars whereof appear in a Book delivered in with this Report N. 7. The reality of the said incumbrances which of them have been made upon a valuable consideration and what have been since discharged by Receipt of Rents or otherwise we have had neither time nor opportunity duly to examine but we humbly conceive there are many deductions to be made upon the following considerations 56. In all Judgments and Statutes we have set down the Penal Sums not being able to know what Interest is due upon the several particulars 57. It appears probable to us that oftentimes the Judgment and Mortgage is for the same Debt 58. It is probable that many of the said Judgments are only for performance of Covenants and the defeazances remain in the hands of the Covenanters 59. In many cases Protestants and Papists have been equally bound and the whole Debt is demanded on the Lands of the forfeited persons tho there may be other security 60. It does appear that many Deeds and Copies of Judgments were produced to the Juries in several Enquiries and found without any proof of the execution of such Deeds or the considerations therein expressed 61. It is probable that in many cases the Statutes and Judgments have been satisfied and do not appear discharged upon Record 62. Many incumbrances have been bought up by the Grantees their Agents and Under-purchasers and oftentimes at small values and are kept on foot to cover the Estates tho probably they might have over-paid themselves by the Preception of Profits 63. Many persons have been put in possession of the Lands incumbred by virtue of her late Majesty's Letter and have received all or a great part of their Debts 64. It is probable that several of the Incumbrances have been taken in trust for forfeiting persons and many others were entred into covenously 65. In conclusion it appears to us that all the contrivances possible were made
