Gregory who had made them understand by the daily Out-rages of himself and appendix page 40 his Men that he govern'd indeed with no less Arbitrariness than the high Sh. and as Despotical appendix page 41 as he for his Life entertain'd them with his Military Rhetorick hovv absolute he vvas in all matters of Government and Command Yet that himself and the high Sh. vvere but as one Man vvho being a person vvell practic'd in Controversies could either raise or depress them as he pleased and advised them to quit all others and stick to the Sh. One Horse Nabs another and People of a sort soon agree The high Sh. the Cap. the Master Jacob Myars and Peter Row sprung presently as a sworn Covey and Mr. Orpen was no more to be consulted with but look'd upon as a Person qualified to ruine their Councils and Designs From hence forth Cap. Gregory the high Sh. and Mr Bl. being well sweetned with some of the best Sugars became Patrons to the Master and these Passengers by the frequent incursions of the first That part of the Country about Killmare was harass'd as though it had been the Enemyes Quarters for he had always a ravenous pack at his heels who prey'd upon the Country day and night without paying for the Provisions which they exacted from the poor People in their continual marches under the notion of searching for the Ships Goods Tumbling and tossing all their little housholdry and janting it in that manner from house to house they beat and wounded the Men Ravish'd Women and Maids and set Houses afire But when they had Forced the People to give them all their mony they put out the fire again These doings past under the notion of serving the Owners who have also paid dearly for their Services and had they thought fit to have consulted Mr. Orpen he had made appear the many havocks which were commited by the Master Passengers the high Sh. Cap. Gregory and Mr Bl. and they should find at what rate the Master and Passengers have bought the patronages of those three Gentlemen which began more openly upon the 12 of February and on the 13th the Sh. fram'd an advantageous Narrative by his Letter to the Government in the behalf of his Sweet Clyents and becomes Merchant for great part of the Goods and waited at Killmare for an order in answer to his Letter to Seiz both Ship and Goods into his own possession and so by his power of Shrievalty Replevins c. to wrest from Mr. Orpen and the rest of the English of those parts what was due to them for Salvage and by his merit of that kind to win the Owners favour into some great Presents for his good services whom the Master and Passengers in the mean time visited by their Letters Setting forth the worthyness of the Sh. as the only persen fit to be trusted in the whole concerns of the Ship and Goods and how highly he had appeared against Mr. Orpen and the rest of their Enemies But Mr. Orpen and the English Petitioned to the Government against the proceedings of the Sh. who waited big with expectation of a power to seize c. But no such thing appearing nor finding the success he wisht for and that his Letter was not so taking as expected Mr. Myars hastens away to Dublin well trained to every particular requisite to back the Letter of the 13th who arrived there about the 5th of March and on the 6th made his examination ready and on the 7th was examined before the honble Sr. Henry Ecclin one of the Barrons of the Exchequer which Examination scream'd so loudly against the behavior of Mr. Orpen and the English that the Government conceiving it necessary to take cognizance thereof sent to the Right Honourable Sir Rich. Pyne Lord Chief Justice of their Majesties Court of Common Pleas then upon the Munster Circuit to inquire into the whole matter and to report the same and Colonel Denny and Col. Hasset two of the Deputy-Governours and Justices of the peace for the County of Kerry were required to have Mr. Orpen and Mr. Crump apprehended and thereupon they issued their Warrant to the H. Sh. to that purpose who was overjoyed to see the growth of his labour and wit arrive to that perfection and put the Warrant in execution after a strange manner Not by himself or any of his under-Officers but employ'd Serjeant Fullerton brother in law to Capt. Gregory who with ten Musquetteers came to Mr. Orpens house and took him prisoner without letting him know upon what account other then that their Capt. had commanded them to do it He askt them was it by warrant or by order The Serjeant told him that he had a warrant But would not be prevailed upon to shew it or to give the least hint of the purport thereof But at length he said that it was for Harbouring of Toryes and gave out to the neighbourhood inter alia that 't was for supplying the Torys with ten quarts of Powder Notwithstanding that Mr. Orpen seemed unconcerned at these proceedings Yet the new English Collony which he brought into that Country began to repine at their misfortune and wisht that they had never come out of England And finding him thus troubled on account of appendix page 33 Toryes whom they knew to be one of the greatest suppressors of Malefactors throwout the appendix page 34 Province and well assured in their consciences that appendix page 39 he was no way guilty of such a crime they concluded that the Sh. Ca. Gregory and Mr. Bl. would soon have them all accused and prosecuted upon the like account and thereupon resolved to be gone bag and baggage as fast as they could out of their reach The Serjeant and party took away Mr. Orp. out of his house in great hurry not affording him time to put on his cloaths to the great glory of the high Sh. to see his prisoner carry'd thro' the Towns with ten Musquetteers a very unpracticable way of executing the warrant of the Civil Magistrates But Mr. Orpen is now Prisoner at Tralee and by the 23th of March was Examined and Bail'd to appear the 26th being the day that my Lord Chief Justice had appointed for the Tryal which was bu● very short time to provide
