THE STATE OF THE IRISH AFFAIRS FOR THE Honourable Members OF THE HOUSES of PARLIAMENT As they lye represented before them from the Committee of Adventurers in London for Lands in Ireland sitting at Grocers-Hall for that Service LONDON Printed by G. Miller dwelling in the Black-Friers 1645. Reasons delivered by the Committee of Citizens Adventurers in London for Lands in Ireland to the Committee appointed by the Right Honourable the Lord Major Aldermen and Common Councell of the said City to be delivered to the said Court of their refusall to lend Monies upon security of the Ordinance of the 15th of August last made for raising Monies for Ireland to begin in November next and to continue for six Moneths THe Adventurers with their Monies raised upon their first Propositions were to have carried over a Brigade of 500 Horse and 5000 Foot into Munster in Ireland against those Rebels which businesse they were to have carried on by Officers chosen by themselves whereby they had the oversight of that businesse and laying out of their own Money for the best advantage of the Service When they had well nigh raised and armed all their Forces and made all other Provisions fit for transportation both their Money and Men and Provisions were upon an unavoidable occasion made use of by the State here upon a suddain and unexpected breaking forth of the distractions here at home and the remain of what was not thus imployed or that hath come into their Treasuries since have likewise been made use of by the State here wherewith to content the Irish Officers who have done very little or no service for all the Money that they had since These distractions increasing and thereupon when those Lords and Commons that were appointed by Commission under the great Seal of England by direction both of King and Parliament to manage the Irish affairs had withdrawn themselves from further medling in the businesse and when after that a Committe of the Honourable House of Commons made by order of the third of September 1642. for ordering of the Irish affairs had acted therein so long as that they had left no Cash in any Irish Treasury to answer their Orders and that a generall clamour of the Irish Souldiary was now upon them for pay and supplies which they could not remedy and a hard matter it was by reason of the use of Monies here to finde out a means to give them satisfaction when Bristol Chester and most of th' other parts of the West were possessed by the Enemy whereby all conveniencies for sending for Ireland were taken away then the Adventurers in London made more Propositions to raise more Money from among themselves without Tax or Assessement of the Subject to carry on that Warre That thereupon an Ordinance was made establishing those new Propositions and to secure all such as should adventure any Money thereupon and erecting and setling of a new Committee consisting of some of the Members of the Honourable House of Commons and of diverse Aldermen and Merchants of London Adventurers for Lands in Ireland chosen out by the Body of Adventurers to manage the Irish affairs And they were no sooner made a Committee but the Citizens of the Committee are perswaded to advance 10000lb or thereabouts worth of Arms Ammunition and victuals wherewith to furnish 500 Horse and 5000 Foot of the British Regiments in Vlster upon promise that they should being thus furnished march out of that Province against the Rebels into other parts of the Kingdom having no enemy near themselves which Goods were presently provided and delivered accordingly yet they never did service therewith nor at any time since that the Committee can understand That by the labour and industry of the Citizens of that Committee they have procured 30000lb worth of Provisions more to be sent to the Forces there out of Holland and the Low Countries which if they had not received they had disbanded and quit the Countrey to the Enemy or must have complied in the Cessation with the Rebels which had been as bad as some of the O●ficers confessed The said Committee of the Citizens also in this time have sent 5000lb worth more of Provisions thither which were bought with the Adventurers Money Yet they are now left in debt 5000lb or thereabout for part of those Provisions thus advanced and without means to give those satisfaction to whom they stand engaged Which have been thus occasioned For that it hath been publikely delivered to the Adventurers at a generall meeting of them as if the Parliament intend not to performe in that Ordinance with those that have or should bring in Money for an Adventure upon it since which time very little or nothing hath been brought into their Treasury and those that had subscribed upon that Ordinance do refuse to bring in their Subscriptions That the Irish affairs have been since carried on for a good time together by the Committe of the Honourable House of Commons of the third of September 1642. and afterwards by the Honourable Committee of both Kingdoms and now by the Honourable Committee of Lords and Commons for Propositions for Ireland which have cooled and withdrawn the zeal and affections of the Adventurers and others to bring in any more Money upon the said Ordinance of the 14th of July 1643. seeing their Committee set aside and to have no oversight or looking unto the managing of that businesse and the disposall of their Monies that great summe of 300000lb or thereabouts which they have formerly brought in having been imployed as aforesaid without adding to them the least hope to possesse their Adventures They have been imployed since as a Subcommittee to the Honourable Committee of both Kingdoms in which service they have faithfully performed their trust and have informed their Lordships of all those miscarriages and failings of the Officers in the Armies in Ireland then under the Parliaments power and otherwise concerning those affairs and how the States Treasure have been wasted and consumed and nothing done for it with their opinions of the remedies to prevent the like misdoings for the time to come which they having done in the birth of their imployments under their Lordships have not lately received more of their commands except in raising of Monies for the Service to which they have alwayes contributed to their powers when they have found certain wayes of reimbursement In this time they have offered their endeavours freely in making provisions for those Forces out of the Monies raised and to be raised upon that Ordinance of the 16th of October 1644. if to have been imployed in a Committee way upon accompt but the Officers of the Army in Vlster and one Mr Davis an Irish man and some Cheesemongers of this City joyning with them under hand obtained the imployments upon Contracts and bargains made to deliver those Provisions at certain rates when the Committee if to have done the same in a Committee way would have advanced the
