this Informant being an Eye Witness how the Two hundred pound was secured to be payed to Sir VVilliam Davis and being satisfyed on what account the rest of the forementioned Summs were payed to the

at a high rate and asked him how he durst come upon his Land that the said Mr. Butler gave his Pistols to one George Lee with a design to Kill this Informant who narrowly escaped with his Life Soon after this Informant came to Dublin and applyed himself to his Grace the Duke of Ormond and informed him of that horrid and wicked design of the Papists who promised this Informant a Protection And though this Informant Petitioned often for the same yet he was refused insomuch that he was necessitated to go disguised in a beggars habit to the North of Ireland for the safety of his life but being pursued by Sir VVilliam Davis Plunket and Arch-bishop of Cashel to all Parrish Priests for to make a diligent inquiry after this Informant who finding him at Carrigfergus above Fourscore Miles distant from Dublin he was there committed to Goal by one Captain Davis a Justice of the peace where he remained for three weeks until this Informant sent him the said Davis word that he was taking the advice of the Fryer that was in his House for to destroy the Kings Evidence Upon which he discharged this Informant And this Informant coming at least Eighty Miles distant an other way backwards for to shelter himself to one Esquire Lamberts in the County of Meath where he worked for his living about a Months time and understanding the design of the Papists going on apace went to one Serjeant Osborne one of the Kings Council and discovered to him a great deal of the said Plot but instead of acting as the Kings Council or Loyal Subject he to the contrary sent this Informant to the Goal of Trinn in the County of Meath where he remained for 3 weeks in a starving condition in Irons until he was removed from thence to Dublin and his Leggs tied under the Horses belly and then was brought before Sir John Davis Secretary of State who at the first sight called this Informant a Rogue and said that he was in Prison at Carrickfergus this Informant replied that it was by the unjust means of his Brother for discovering the Truth against him This Informant being brought to the Council Board the Lord Chancellor and Sir John Davis came to examine this Informant who told them he was not willing to be examined by them by reason the one was Sir William Davis his Brother and the other his Father in Law yet however to avoid all that they should pretend this Informant told and discovered more to them than they were willing to hear for which they returned this Informant to Prison who was discharged the next day but by whose means he cannot tell neither could he get any protection or safety but exposed to the Malice of his Enemies this Informant went to another remote part of the Kingdom in the County of Limerick with an intent to take Shipping and to come for England for to discover all their villanie but being there discovered was apprehended and brought to Justice Crocker who sent this Informant to Sir William King who committed him to the Marshalsea at Limerick until such time as he would send to Dublin to know how he was discharged there But Sir William Davis coming Judge of that Circuit and coming to Limerick Ordered this Informant to be sent to the Dungeon where he continued for Eight Months in a perishing condition until such time as the Lord Chief Baron Hinne came that Circuit and coming to Limerick this Informant could not get a Petition delivered to him but was forced to tie it on the top of a staff and as the Judge was passing by reached it to him out of a window and the Judge having perused it and understanding the cause of his Commitment was to suppress his Evidence which this Informant declared often that would sooner suffer Death than conceal such a bloody design though he was often tempted by offering him great Sums of Money to conceal what he knew The Popish partie to prosecute their bloody intent did most barbarously Murther the said Keadagh Meagher who was their Treasurer when they understood he detested their design and turned Protestant and was resolved to discover all their horrid and bloody designs This Informant hath more to discover but first humbly desires that he may have his Pardon and Security EVSTACE COMYNE FINIS
