or to their use were at any time before the two and twentieth of October One thousand six hundred forty one Lawfully seized or possessed upon which words Seized or possessed some doubt or question in

may be intiled or presented to be intitled to the whole Territory of Upper Ossery within which place the Lands intended to be restored to the said Colonel John Fitz Patrick do lye and so by consequence the seizin and possession thereof which was in the said Colonel John Fitz Patricks Grandfather at the time of the said Office or Inquisition found may be from the said nineteenth year of King James conceived to have been in the Kings Majestie and not not in the said Colonel Fitz Patricks Grandfather or any other in trust for him although he or some of them were then in the Actual possession and occupation thereof and received the profits Be it therefore Enacted and explained by the Authority aforesaid that the said Colonel John Fitz Patrick shall hold and enjoy to him and his Heirs the full benefit of the clause and provisoe in the said former Act contained the said Office of Inquisition or any other matter or thing in the said former Act or this present Act to the contrary notwithstanding And it is hereby declared and Enacted that all and every the Adventurers and Souldiers their Heirs and Assigns to whom any Lands or Tenements in the Queens County were set out

advantage can or may accrue unto the said Earl of Carlingford shall be and are hereby again confirmed and shall be enioyed by the said Earl of Carlingford in as full and ample manner as in the said

contained to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding Provided alwaies and it is hereby declared and Enacted That Sir Richard Ingoldsby Knight of the Bath and Sir Henry Ingoldsby Baronet shall hold enjoy to them and their Heirs all and singular the Lands within and contiguous to the Mileline in the County of Clare which were set out to them or either of them in satisfaction of fifteen

their Tenants the seventh of May One thousand six hundred fifty and nine such part of the Premisses onely excepted as have been Decreed away by the Commissioners for Execution of the said former Act any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding And Whereas Captain Henry Finch late of Londonderry Deceased in pursuance of a Commission from Sir William Parsons and Sir John Birlacy sometimes Lords Iustices of Ireland did in the moneth of November One thousand six hundred forty one levy and Arm a Company of Foot consisting of One hundred Men besides Officers in the County of the City of Londonderry and maintained the said Company for three years at his own charges and continued in the command of the said Company against the Rebels from the moneth of November One thousand six hundred forty one until the moneth of October One thousand six hundred forty and eight and was then disbanded without receiving any the least satisfaction and yet nevertheless the arrears due to the said Henry Finch for his service before the fifth of June One thousand six hundred forty nine have not been cast up nor stated by the Commissioners for Execution of the said former Act partly by reason of some doubt conceived that the said Company was not upon the establishment of the Ulster Army Whereas in truth the said Company was received into the said establishment though the Order whereby the same should be made appear could not then be produced and partly by reason of other accidents Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid That the Commissioners for Execution of this Act shall forthwith and before any distribution made of the Houses lands Tenements Hereditaments or summs of money herein before appointed for the security and satisfaction of such Commissioned Officers as served before the fifth of June One thousand six hundred forty nine cast up and state the arrears which were due to the said Henry Finch Deceased for the service aforesaid and that after the arrears so stated William Finch and Henry Finch Sonns and Administrators of the said Henry Finch Deceased shall be satisfied and paid and are hereby Enabled to demand and receive satisfaction equally and proportionably having respect to the arrears stated and in like manner as any other Commissioned Officer who served before the fifth of June One thousand
