and freely supplied and entertained the Respondent with his Wife and children while as the Respondent was held a much inferiour man in qualitic and condition to Captain Atkinson whom the Respondent sent away amongst a Company of poor distressed Beggers with his Convoy to London-Derry where the Gentleman and his distressed Wife might have starved if upon the Repliants credit they had not been there relieved with five pounds to convoy them to Dublin where they hoped to have met with me Lord Lyle who was a neer Kinsman to this Gentlewoman and missing of him there this Repliant is informed That those two vertuous souls live still in great misery at Dublin by reason of the cruell barbarous and unneighbourly usage of the Respondent who might at first conveniently have inabled them to have made good their own house or otherwise to have helped them off with a great deal of their best Goods and Houshold-stuff which the Respondent for other base ends of his own exposed all to ruin much invying in time of Peace the worthy and good esteem which both the State and Neighbours in the Countrey had of Captain Atkinson and his vertuous Bedfellow for the free and charitable way of living to the comfort of all sorts of good people both of great and mean condition who used to travell in that Countrey As concerning the two Witherspins both father and son that they were Scotchmen it is confessed But so much the more unworthy to be of that Nation as they proved Traitours and Rebels against the King and Parliament concerning whose carriage it was in manner following That these men whom the Respondent pleaseth himself to give so much commendation as if naming such two Scotchmen should ingage the Nation to adhere to his poor Recriminating way of vindicating himself James Witherspin the Son being married to a meer Irish woman and known to be of a most wicked base disposition from his childhood and one who had been accused of Fellony and found guilty before the Rebellion and upon the first breaking out thereof soon after himself and his Wife joyned themselves with the Rebels leaving his Father and Mother two old people in the Repliants Garrison which the Repliant had just reason to suspect as Spies many times advising them to keep by themselves since their Son and Daughter had joyned themselves with the Rebels And about the moneth of February before the supposed first of July mentioned in the Respondents Answer alledgeing that old Witherspin to be taken in Sligoe and shot to death by this Repliants own hand in which moneth of February the said James Witherspin the son was then in actuall service and rebellion against the King and Parliament a Muskettier with the Rebels under the Command of Bryan Ballagh O Roirk who then lay incampt with a many others about this Repliants Castle and Garrison whereof this Respondent well knew and had strength enough to have relieved this Repliant and was many times importuned by Captain Cathcart and others of his Officers to have endeavoured the Repliants relief but the Respondent with frivolous excuses being desirous as since and now it doth appear to have the Repliant rather to be cut off did suffer him with his handfull of men to take their hazards envying the Repliants activenesse with so poor a handfull as may appear by his vindictive humour against this Repliant whom God Almighty prospered so well as with his own handfull one morning the rogues were surprized in their Camp their siege raised and a many of the Rebels killed the foresaid old John Wither spin taken prisoner amongst the Rebels who the night before had stoln out of the Repliants Garrison to meet with his son James Witherspin where that night he confessed to be much made off by the Colonell Bryan Ballagh O Roirk to whom he delivered twelve pounds sterlin in ready money which he intended for his son James Witherspin So that for this Treason upon his own confession the Father was undoubtedly hanged in February which the Repliant is ready to prove with sufficient witnesses now in Town How the Respondent shall prove that in July after the Repliant should meet with a man so many moneths dead before and ten miles distant from the place of his buriall let him prove his being there and the Repliant hopes to be excused for shooting such a one with his own hand Therefore desires no further vindication of his own honour from this scurrilous base Libelling way of recrimination of the Respondents then what credit this history brings him amongst all indifferent and impartiall readers And as for the said James Witherspin the son it is confessed that the first of July being the night the Repliant with his small handfull attempted the burning of that Town of Sligoe which then sheltered a many bloody Rebels who had murthered and massacred many poor Brittish in it which stuck much in the Repliants stomack whom God made his weak Instrument to revenge that night that innocent blood where amongst the rest of the Rebels the foresaid James Witherspin was taken prisoner and brought home to the Repliants Garrison where upon his own confession That he had served as a Muskettier amongst the Rebels and had done his best at severall times to endeavour the ruin and destruction of the Repliants Garrison upon which confession of the said Wither spin he was justly hanged as this Repliant concerveth and for no such cause as is falsly and scandalously alledged by the Respondent and how apt this Respondent is to take up any thing upon trust and credit of others that may vent his spleen against this Repliant doth easily appear though it be nothing materiall to this purpose for the vindicating of himself but rather of the Rebels and their treacherous adherents And this Repliant further saith That the Respondent faileth mightily in his Answers wherein he attributes it to the information of Witherspin and the assistance of Parck and his men That in this Repliants return from burning of Sligoe he escaped the surprize of the Rebels who was lying in waite for him with a great Body of men in his way homeward which was easily perceived by our Scouts that went before us to which we gave better credit then to Witherspins information And for Parck it is true This Repliant carried him along with him as a Prisoner and not to guard his person neither is it altogether unlikely but the said Parck had a hand in that meeting of the Rebels that day which was thought should have been the day the said Parck should have put himself and his Castle in the hands of the Rebels had not God put it in the heart and head of this Repliant to do as he did the night before in seizing upon the said Parck and his Castle and burning of the said Town of Sligoe which were the first actions that ever gave comfort or probable security to the Repliant and his handfull As for the

And after he delivered this Letter unto the Messenger he hanged the chief of the Prisoners being brother to Colonell O Roirke who was desired by this exchange in the sight of the Messenger before he would permit him to depart upon whose return to the Rebels they in revenge thereof murthered about ten or eleven of the said Protestants whereof two were godly Ministers and yet if their mercy and compassion in the midst of their Barbaritie had not far transcended Sir Frederick Hammiltons they had likewise put Sir Robert Hannay and his Lady and Children and all the rest to death And that his ill disposition may the more fully appear he hath with striking and other ill usage so behaved himself toward his Officers that his Lievtenant Ensigne Minister and one of his Serjeants have all forsaken him so that he hath now no Officers but one Serjeant to command his Company at Mannor-Hammilton consisting of seventy men or thereabouts And not withstanding all this The said Informer is labouring for the Government of London-Derry and because he conceived he might prevail in that suit if his miscarriages were not discovered he moved this Respondent that all the differences betwixt them might be composed by the order of friends which motion if this Respondent would then have accepted he conceives this Information had never been heard of And as touching the Government of London-Derry aforesaid this Respondent humbly desires leave to declare that once it was conferred upon Sir George Pawlet a man whose temper in some things was not much unlike this of the Informers whose passionate demeanour in his Office was not onely the occasion of the losse of his own life but of the losse also of the lives of many of this Nation there and the burning of that Town with the kindling of a violent though as it hapned but a short Rebellion in the Countrey thereabouts which did put the State then to much unnecessary expences in the suppressing of it All which together with the premisses this Respondent humbly representeth as pertinent instances and reasons to induce the honourable Parliament not to put the Government thereof into the power of the Informer whose demeanour will never be brooked by those good people that now inhabit there upon whom all the aspersions that are laid by any late reports or Printed Letters this Respondent beleeves were invented and contrived by the Informer or his Instruments of purpose to make them detestable to this Honourable Parliament whom this Respondent is confident are as loyall and wel-wishing to the Parliament as can be expected and will really witnesse the same by their ready and joyfull receiving and obeying of any Governour except Sir Frederick Hammilton that the Parliament will be pleased to appoint over them But his conditions are so well known unto them that they will quit their fortunes and stations there which they have hither to preserved with so much expence and hazard rather then submit unto his Command And this Respondent most humbly desires this honourable Committee would be pleased to pardon him if he have trespassed upon your Patience in answer to the Charge given in by the Informer being necessitated thereunto for his more ample Vindication by laying open the disposition of the Informer which he hath most unnecessary drawn upon himself without any provocations given to him by this Respondent And humbly prayes such reparations as in your Wisdoms shall be thought fit Exhibited 11. of January 1644. Signed William Cole The Replication of Sir Frederick Hammilton Knight and Colonell To the Scandalous Recriminating Answer of Sir William Cole Given in to the Information of the said Sir Frederick Exhibited against him to the Honourable Committee of both Kingdoms the 26. of December 1644. THe said Sir William Cole confesseth the first charge and for his defence pretendeth That he gave advertisement of the said intended Rebellion by his Letters to the then Lords Justices and Councell with all possible speed with advice That their Lordships would strictly examine the Lord Mac Gwire and others his Complices concerning the same But if his notice given to the Lords Justices had been so timely as his Information was seasonable by him confessed to have been twelve dayes before the breaking out of the said Rebellion without all peradventure the Lords Justices and Councell would not have neglected the opportunity of preventing so great a mischief which had not been easily done if to have understood thereof so long before nor can it be credited for tructh that the Respondent gave them any such timely notice when it is manifest That the discovery thereof unto the Lords Justices and Councell by Captain O Connelly was with much difficulty to his person very late in the night immediately before the same day it was to have been acted at Dublin And the Respondent being a Justice of the Peace and Corum and a man invested with great power and authority in his Countrey and of great credit amongst the people by the duty of his place should as very easily he might and ought to have apprehended the Conspirators the said Lord Mac Gwire and the rest of the chief of them being his neer neighbours whose persons if he had secured in so long time before the Tragedie was to have been acted would
