Thresh part of his Corn for his own use During which time they took away all his Stock of Sheep Black Cattel and Horses and the Soldiers from Navan Commanded by one Captain Farrel fetcht away all his Corn and Hay Some of his Irish-Servants telling him It was not safe for him to come down or lye in his own House He lay in a Neighbours House This was on a Friday-Night and the next Day he went to Dublin On Sunday Night the 5th of May 1689. they came and set Fire to his House in several places and burnt it down and all his Goods believing he was in the House Afterwards giving out That he had order'd his own Servants to Burn it And soon after came up one William Carton his Shepherd who told him That the Fryar and Priests at Navan were very angry with him and Threatned him because he did not countenance that Report and also own that his Servants had Burnt his House by his Order All this was done by the Neighbourhood within 3 or 4 Miles about him A Brief of the Case of the Charter of Londonderry upon which Judgment was given against it Quo Warranto against the Corporation of Londonderry to shew why they Claim'd to be a Body Politick and to have and use certain other Priviledges THE Corporation pleaded their CHARTER whereby those Priviledges were granted to them eo Warranto they claim to have and use those Priviledges Tho King's Attorny Replies and saith That since their Charter the Act of Settlement impowers the Lord Lieutenant and Council to make Rules and Orders for the Regulating Corporations That accordingly such Rules were made for this Corporation among which One was That they were to Elect at a time different from that in the Charter and Return the Names of the Persons the Corporation should elect yearly to be Mayor and Sheriffs to the Lord Lieutenant and to be approved of unde ex quo that they did not so elect and send the Names of such elected to be so Approved they forfeited their Priviledges The Corporation in their Rejoynder gave a full Answer to this New Matter raised in Replication on these New Rules and set forth That they did all along yearly elect and send up the Names elected according to the Rules and that they were Approved c. But further insisted at the Bar That they needed not to have any further Rejoynder to the said Replication or given any Answer as to the Matter in the said Replication alledged because admitting the Allegations in the said Replication to be true yet the Replication assigns no breach by the Corporation For all that comes after the Unde ex quo is but a Conclusion and solely a Conclusion without any Premisses for tho' the New Rules be set forth yet 't is not said in all the Replication That the Corporation did not act pursuant thereto but only saith Unde ex quo they did not c. 1. The Court said The Answer given to the New Rules was a Departure from the Matter pleaded viz. They Justifie in the Plea by the Charter and in their Rejoynder they say They chuse according to the New Rules which is another Warrant to chuse and so the Plea vitious To which the Corporation Reply'd That a Departure is when a Party in a Rejoynder sets up a New Title to a thing or a New Justification not set up in the Plea But here they still Justifie by their Charter and the New Rules made subsequent is only to the Modus of Chusing in respect of Time c. but the Power of Chusing is still by the Charter 2. The Plea was not only a Plain Answer to a short Question demanded by the Quo Warranto viz by what Warrant they claimed their Priviledges and the Matter of the New Rules was set up by the King in his Replication to which they had no opportunity of Answering till they Rejoyn'd 3. If it had been material to be set forth in the Plea yet it being a Condition subsequent if any thing and going in destruction of the Corporation Priviledges they ought not first by the Rules of Law to set it forth but it ought first to come on the Adversaries part 4. The Corporation urged That the New Rules did not in Law work any Forfeiture of Priviledges in case they were not observed for they were in the Affirmative only and the Rule of Law is That Acts in the Affirmative take not away a former Power of doing a thing but the same may be done either the first way or the second Notwithstanding all which on the said pretended defect in Pleading the Merits of the Cause never coming in question the Court gave Judgment against the Corporation N o 8.

An Address to King James in Behalf of the Purchasers under the Act of Settlement by Judge Keating THis humble Representation made unto your Sacred Majesty is in the Behalf of many Thousands of your Majesties dutiful and obedient Subjects of all Degrees Sexes and Ages The Design and Intention of it is to prevent the Ruine and Desolation which a Bill now under Consideration in order to be made a Law will bring upon them and their Families in case your Majesty doth not interpose and by your Moderation and Justice protect them so far as the known Laws of the Kingdom and Equity and good Conscience will warrant and require It is in the Behalf of Purchasers who for great and valuable Considerations have acquired Lands and Tenements in this Kingdon by laying out not only their Portions and Provisions made for them by their Parents but also the whole Product of all their own Industry and the Labour of their Youth together with what could be saved by a frugal Management in order to make some certain Provision for Old Age and their Families in Purchasing Lands and Tenements under the Security of divers Acts of Parliament Publick Declarations from the late King And all these accompanied with a Possession of Twenty five Years Divine Providence hath appointed us our Dwelling in an Island and consequently we must Trade or live in Penury and at the mercy of our Neighbours This necessitates a Transmutation of Possessions by Purchase from one hand to another of Mortgaging and Pledging Lands for great and Considerable Sums of Money by charging them with Judgments and indeed gives Name to one of the greatest Securities made use of in this Kingdom Statutes Merchant and of the Staple and very many especially Widows and Orphans have their whose Estates and Portions secured by Mortgages Bond of the Staple and Judgments Where or when shall a Man Purchase in this Kingdom Under what Title or on what Security shall he lay out his Money or secure the Portions he designs for his Children If he may not do it under divers Acts of Parliament the solemn and reiterated Declarations of his Prince and a quiet and uncontroverted Possession of Twenty Years together And this is the Case of thousands of Families who are Purchasers under the Acts of Settlement and Explanation It were a hard task to justifie those Acts in every Particular contained in them I will not undertake it but if it be consider'd that from 23. October 1641. until 29. May 1660. the time of his Majesties Restauration the Kingdom was upon the matter in one continued Storm That the alterations of Possessions was so universal and Properties so blended and mixt by Allotments and Dispositions made by the then Usurping Powers It may be well concluded that they must be somewhat more then Men that could or can frame a Law to take in every particular Case though it should have swoln to many Volumes and Laws which are to be of such universal Consequence as this was are to have a Regard to the Generality of a Kingdom or People though possibly some particular Person may have some hardship in his private Concern But if we may judge by general Laws by the produce and effect of them and at the same time have a Prospect to the Estate and Condition of this Kingdom from 1640. and as far backwards as you please until the time of his late Majesties happy Restauration and at the same time take into Consideration what the Kingdom became in few years after the Commission for the Execution of those Acts were at an end the Buildings and other Improvements the Trade and Commerce the vast Heads of Cattel and Flocks of Sheep equal to those of England together with great Sums of money brought over by our Fellow-Subjects of England who came to Purchase and Plant in this Kingdom The Manufactures set on foot in divers parts whereby the meanest Inhabitants were
By the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Kildare and one of His MAJESTIES most Honourable Privy Council Note The Copy of the First Order for Garrisoning the House of Ballisannan could not be gotten WHereas I have been informed That Ballysannan now belonging to Mr. Annesley was a House of Strength and therefore fit to have a Garrison and now being convinc'd of the contrary These are therefore in His Majesties Name to require you forthwith to remove your Men to their former Garrison out of the said House Given under my Hand this First day of April 1690. Charles White For Captain Patrick Nugent or the Officer in Chief Commanding the Troop at Kildare SIR THIS is to let you understand that I am Authoriz'd to give the Proprietor possession of the Lands of Ballysannan c. according to the Act of Parliament and that you may not be surpriz'd therein I give you this Notice from Sir Your Loving Friend and Servant Charles White Naas the 8th of April 1690. For John Annesly Esquire or in his Absence to Francis Annesly Esq These Second Order for Ballysannan WHereas Luke Fitzgerald Esquire has proved himself before me to be the Ancient Proprietor of the Town and Lands of Ballysannan and that his Ancestors were Posses'd of their Mansion-house there in the Year 1641. I do therefore in pursuance of His Majesties Orders unto me appoint the under-named Persons to give possession of the Mansion-house there to Luke Fitzgerald Esquire And for so doing this shall be your Warrant Given under my Hand and Seal this 6th day of May 1690. Charles White I do hereby appoint Captain Walter Archbold or Captain John Dillon of Athy to give possession of the Mansion-house of Ballysannan to Luke Fitzgerald Esquire An Account of Absentees Goods and how they were imbezelled THE beginning of March 1688. or before several Persons Officers of the Army who were impowered or pretended to be impowered by my Lord Deputy seized on the Goods of Absentees in most Counties of the Kingdom except the City of Dublin May 7th 1689. A Warrant comes to the Commissioners of His Majesties Revenue under His Majesties Privy Signet and Sign Manual dated April 29th 1689. to impower the Commissioners of the Revenue to call all such Persons to Account that had seiz'd any Goods or Chattels of Absentees May 9th 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue issued out Instructions to several Persons in the respective Counties pursuant to His Majesties said Warrant As to the Country it must be observed That betwixt the 1st of March 1688. being the Time of seizing by the Officers of the Army and 9th of May 1689. when the Commissioners were impowered a great part of the Goods of Absentees were stolen or disposed The Officers that seiz'd were at the Camp at Denry and if any Accounts were return'd by them to the Lord Deputy the same never came to the Commissioners though they often endeavoured with the Secretary to find any such Accounts The Commissioners of the Revenue thereupon sollicited a Bill to pass in Parliament to vest the Goods of all Absentees in the King with some fitting Power to the Commissioners of the Revenue for the more easie and expeditious bringing all Persons to Account that had formerly seiz'd But this met with much delay and alterations At last the Bill pass'd the 18th of July 1689. and the Scope of it amounts to no more than to vest in His Majesty the Goods of such Persons only as are declared Forfeiting Persons by the Act of Attainder or Persons absent who abet or assist the Prince of Orange with exception of Minors and some Proviso's by the Act of Attainder most had time to return till the First of September and the general Clause of all Persons that have aided or abetted the Prince of Orange does not intitle the King without an Office found that such Persons did aid or abet and this requiring Proof and a Great Charge there did not appear sufficient profit to arise to answer the Charge Upon the whole Matter this Bill seemed rather to lessen the Zeal of those employed to seize Absentees Goods than otherwise when they consider'd that upon debate in Parliament it was denyed to pass a Law that should indemnifie them for more than half their Seizures even in the City of Dublin half the Persons whose Goods were there seized not being named in the Bill of Attainder However Aug. 9th 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue having appointed four Provincial Surveyors gave them Instructions that the Surveyor General and the Collectors should dispose of the Stocks of Absentees whereby it appears that instead of neglecting that Matter of the Goods of Absentees they seemed rather to have given Order for the disposal of them before they were forfeited Septemb. 14th 1689. The Commissioners finding no satisfactory Returns from the Commissioners employed by them most of the Commissioners being in the Army or neglecting the Matter or applying the Goods to their own Use they superseded those Commissioners and lest the whole Matter to their Collectors which if done at first some profit might have redounded to His Majesty 2. The Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin were not ordered by the Lord Deputy to be seized but the people observing what was done in the Country and there being free Transportation for England in March the Custom-house-Key became like a Fair and the most of Absentees Goods were then sent for England scarce any thing valuable was then left unless by the Carelesness of the persons employed by the Absentees The said 9th of August 1689. the Commissioners impowered several persons to seize the Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin with like directions as the Lord Deputy gave formerly in other Counties viz. To inventory and take security for the forth-coming of these Goods and not to strip the Houses or hinder Trade for many Brewers Ale-sellers and other Handy-Crafts and Traders though absent yet had left behind them Servants Friends and sometimes their Wives to manage their Trade and to have strip't those Houses had but added to the Number of Wast Houses and lessened His Majesties Revenue some Ale-houses not having the Value of Forty Shillings of Absentees Goods draw three or four Barrels of Drink per Week besides their Quartering of Souldiers which has cost the Inhabitants more generally by far than the Goods could be sold for these Times And this Matter ought at present to be well considered for though now the Goods are vested in the King by Law and the best of them is to be made for the King's advantage yet Rotten Hangings will sell only to those that have the House No. 25. Albavilles Instructions to the Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer Gentlemen THE many Robberies Oppressions and Outrages committed through all parts of the Kingdom to the utter Ruine thereof and to the great Scandal of the Government as well is of Christianity forces his Majesty to a great resentment against those that prove
