to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o estate_n abovementioned_a do_v not_o yield_v so_o much_o to_o the_o grantee_n as_o they_o be_v here_o value_v at_o for_o as_o most_o of_o they_o have_v abuse_v his_o

value_n 53._o we_o be_v further_a to_o take_v notice_n that_o most_o of_o the_o land_n in_o the_o several_a grant_n aforesaid_a be_v grant_v under_o the_o exchequer_n seal_v in_o custodium_fw-la for_o small_a number_n of_o year_n or_o during_o pleasure_n either_o to_o the_o present_a grantee_n or_o other_o person_n by_o which_o mean_v very_o little_a profit_n of_o they_o have_v accrue_v to_o his_o majesty_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o custodium_n be_v now_o expire_v but_o those_o few_o yet_o in_o be_v appear_v in_o a_o book_n at_o the_o low_a end_n of_o the_o grant_n n._n 6._o 54._o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o humble_o acquaint_v your_o honour_n with_o the_o several_a encumbrance_n that_o affect_v the_o estate_n forfeit_v and_o not_o restore_v and_o here_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o such_o only_a as_o be_v find_v by_o inquisition_n or_o have_v be_v allow_v by_o his_o majesty_n court_n of_o exchequer_n most_o of_o which_o last_o have_v be_v in_o pursuance_n of_o her_o late_a majesty_n letter_n date_v ______o to_o the_o lord_n justice_n of_o ireland_n which_o require_v that_o all_o protestant_n shall_v try_v the_o validity_n of_o their_o encumbrance_n in_o the_o most_o speedy_a manner_n without_o subject_v they_o to_o dilatory_a or_o chargeable_a method_n 55._o all_o the_o statute_n judgement_n mortgage_n or_o other_o debt_n which_o appear_v to_o we_o as_o aforesaid_a to_o affect_v the_o estate_n not_o restore_v amount_v to_o 161936_o l._n 15_o s._n 6_o d._n the_o particular_n whereof_o appear_v in_o a_o book_n deliver_v in_o with_o this_o report_n n._n 7._o the_o reality_n of_o the_o say_a encumbrance_n which_o of_o they_o have_v be_v make_v upon_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n and_o what_o have_v be_v since_o discharge_v by_o receipt_n of_o rent_n or_o otherwise_o we_o have_v have_v neither_o time_n nor_o opportunity_n due_o to_o examine_v but_o we_o humble_o conceive_v there_o be_v many_o deduction_n to_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o follow_a consideration_n 56._o in_o all_o judgement_n and_o statute_n we_o have_v set_v down_o the_o penal_a sum_n not_o be_v able_a to_o know_v what_o interest_n be_v due_a upon_o the_o several_a particular_n 57_o it_o appear_v probable_a to_o we_o that_o oftentimes_o the_o judgement_n and_o mortgage_n be_v for_o the_o same_o debt_n 58._o it_o be_v probable_a that_o many_o of_o the_o say_a judgement_n be_v only_o for_o performance_n of_o covenant_n and_o the_o defeazance_n remain_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o covenanter_n 59_o in_o many_o case_n protestant_n and_o papist_n have_v be_v equal_o bind_v and_o the_o whole_a debt_n be_v demand_v on_o the_o land_n of_o the_o forfeit_a person_n though_o there_o may_v be_v other_o security_n 60._o it_o do_v appear_v that_o many_o deed_n and_o copy_n of_o judgement_n be_v produce_v to_o the_o jury_n in_o several_a inquiry_n and_o find_v without_o any_o proof_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o such_o deed_n or_o the_o consideration_n therein_o express_v 61._o it_o be_v probable_a that_o in_o many_o case_n the_o statute_n and_o judgement_n have_v be_v satisfy_v and_o do_v not_o appear_v discharge_v upon_o record_n 62._o many_o encumbrance_n have_v be_v buy_v up_o by_o the_o grantee_n their_o agent_n and_o under-purchaser_n and_o oftentimes_o at_o small_a value_n and_o be_v keep_v on_o foot_n to_o cover_v the_o estate_n though_o probable_o they_o may_v have_v over-paid_a themselves_o by_o the_o preception_n of_o profit_n 63._o many_o person_n have_v be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o land_n encumber_v by_o virtue_n of_o her_o late_a majesty_n letter_n and_o have_v receive_v all_o or_o a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o debt_n 64._o it_o be_v probable_a that_o several_a of_o the_o encumbrance_n have_v be_v take_v in_o trust_n for_o forfeit_v person_n and_o many_o other_o be_v enter_v into_o covenous_o 65._o in_o conclusion_n it_o appear_v to_o we_o that_o all_o the_o contrivance_n possible_a be_v make_v
of_o discount_n on_o other_o particular_n and_o if_o all_o the_o unprofitable_a acre_n be_v cast_v in_o it_o may_v near_o answer_v the_o difference_n of_o value_n the_o now_o beneficial_a lease_n do_v make_v from_o the_o present_a intrinsic_a value_n exclusive_a of_o they_o 75._o and_o lest_o this_o allowance_n shall_v be_v think_v insufficient_a we_o humble_o conceive_v the_o wood_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o stand_v on_o the_o forfeit_v estate_n not_o restore_v may_v be_v worth_a sixty_o thousand_o pound_n which_o we_o believe_v if_o throw_v in_o will_v answer_v the_o difference_n provide_v some_o speedy_a care_n be_v take_v to_o prevent_v far_a waste_n 76._o but_o lest_o our_o allowance_n on_o the_o particular_n aforesaid_a shall_v not_o be_v esteem_v sufficient_a we_o throw_v in_o all_o denomination_n of_o land_n to_o which_o we_o can_v annex_v no_o number_n of_o acre_n not_o receive_v any_o light_n either_o by_o the_o survey_v commissioner_n book_n inquisition_n or_o our_o inquiry_n in_o the_o country_n and_o because_o they_o be_v quantity_n of_o land_n that_o vast_o differ_v from_o one_o another_o both_o in_o value_n and_o number_n of_o acre_n we_o make_v no_o certain_a estimate_n of_o they_o though_o it_o seem_v very_o probable_a to_o we_o that_o they_o amount_v to_o seventy_o or_o eighty_o thousand_o acre_n which_o we_o humble_o conceive_v will_n much_o more_o than_o answer_v all_o the_o deficiency_n before_o mention_v 77._o and_o here_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o general_a waste_n commit_v on_o the_o forfeit_v wood_n of_o this_o kingdom_n particular_o on_o the_o wood_n of_o sir_n valentine_n brown_n in_o the_o county_n of_o kerry_n where_o to_o the_o value_n of_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n have_v be_v cut_v down_o and_o destroy_v and_o the_o waste_n on_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o cl-nc-rtys_a estate_n now_o in_o grant_n to_o the_o lord_n w_n --_o dst-ck_a be_v compute_v at_o twenty_o seven_o thousand_o pound_n and_o indeed_o so_o hasty_a have_v several_a of_o the_o grantee_n or_o their_o agent_n be_v in_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o forfeit_v wood_n that_o vast_a number_n of_o tree_n have_v be_v cut_v and_o sell_v for_o not_o above_o six_o penny_n a_o piece_n and_o the_o like_a waste_n be_v still_o continue_v in_o many_o part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o particular_o at_o this_o instant_n the_o right_a honourable_a sir_n john_n hely_n lord_n chief_a justice_n of_o the_o court_n of_o common_a plea_n here_o and_o peter_n goodwin_n joint_a purchaser_n of_o the_o land_n of_o

house_n great_a waste_n have_v be_v make_v and_o yet_o be_v commit_v on_o the_o wood_n of_o oshaghnessy_n in_o the_o county_n of_o gallway_n purchase_v by_o toby_n butler_n esquire_n for_o about_o 2500_o l._n which_o be_v value_v to_o above_o 12000_o l._n and_o when_o we_o appoint_v some_o person_n to_o view_v and_o value_v the_o say_a wood_n the_o say_a toby_n butler_n do_v prosecute_v they_o by_o indictment_n for_o so_o do_v 78._o beside_o all_o the_o forfeiture_n before_o mention_v there_o be_v great_a number_n of_o person_n guilty_a of_o the_o late_a rebellion_n and_o within_o no_o article_n and_o never_o prosecute_v and_o many_o have_v appear_v on_o the_o exigent_n which_o to_o this_o day_n be_v continue_v under_o bail_n and_o some_o of_o they_o be_v this_o last_o summer_n assizes_n try_v and_o acquit_v and_o indeed_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o we_o that_o the_o freeholder_n of_o this_o kingdom_n through_o length_n of_o time_n and_o by_o contract_v new_a friendship_n with_o the_o irish_a or_o by_o interpurchase_v with_o one_o another_o but_o chief_o through_o a_o general_a dislike_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o forfeiture_n be_v scarce_o willing_a to_o find_v any_o person_n guilty_a of_o the_o late_a rebellion_n even_o upon_o full_a evidence_n 79._o by_o reason_n of_o this_o delay_n of_o prosecution_n many_o good_a estate_n by_o the_o death_n of_o party_n have_v be_v lose_v to_o his_o majesty_n 80._o and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o it_o seem_v probable_a by_o the_o multitude_n of_o discovery_n offer_v we_o that_o if_o right_a method_n be_v take_v and_o proper_a encouragement_n give_v a_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n may_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o forfeiture_n that_o lie_v conceal_v 81._o there_o have_v be_v so_o great_a a_o neglect_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o his_o majesty_n title_n that_o no_o inquisition_n go_v into_o connaught_n till_o the_o year_n 1695_o which_o give_v the_o forfeit_v person_n time_n and_o leisure_n to_o set_v up_o what_o encumbrance_n they_o please_v and_o when_o they_o be_v issue_v the_o finding_n be_v almost_o as_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o forfeit_v person_n think_v fit_a and_o indeed_o by_o the_o great_a disproportion_n of_o protestant_n to_o papist_n which_o be_v compute_v at_o not_o one_o to_o fifty_o and_o so_o very_a few_o protestant_a freeholder_n be_v within_o most_o county_n of_o that_o province_n so_o little_a justice_n be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o that_o the_o province_n itself_o seem_v scarce_o reduce_v to_o his_o majesty_n obedience_n a_o late_a instance_n may_v be_v give_v at_o the_o last_o assize_n for_o the_o county_n of_o gallway_n where_o near_o forty_o person_n be_v bring_v on_o their_o trial_n for_o the_o late_a rebellion_n and_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o

all_o acquit_v though_o by_o accident_n it_o be_v discover_v that_o one_o kirevan_n one_o of_o the_o person_n then_o on_o trial_n be_v in_o actual_a rebellion_n and_o a_o officer_n under_o the_o

the_o say_a estate_n to_o protestant_a tenant_n by_o lease_n for_o life_n renewable_a for_o ever_o it_o will_v great_o increase_v the_o freeholder_n and_o thereby_o secure_a the_o property_n and_o
