to prevent that by having an Embargo put on Shipping that none can come from thence to help them so that we shall be twelve to one and leave them neither root nor branch nor spare them as in their former Rising Whereto this Informant and his said Father answered and said This is strange news indeed whereupon the said Allen askt this Informant's said Father thus Why did not you hear what was spoken at Mass yesterday being Easter-Munday And the said Thomas Allen still continued to declare to the effect aforesaid furthermore cursing the English in a most horrid manner declaring their wicked and bloody designs against them And this Informant saith that upon his return from Portumna to Dublin aforesaid through his duty and allegiance to his Majesty and natural affection to his Country-men the Protestants of that Kingdom resolving to reveal and make known such the Treasonable and dangerous words of the said Thomas Allen did immediately repair to one Dr. Topham a Master in Chancery before whom the Informant did upon his corporal Oath declare and make the same known and saith that presently after this Informant was sent for and did accordingly appear before the Lord Berkley his Majesties then Lord Lieftenant and the Council at Dublin and by them examined touching the Premises which this Informant again confirmed upon three several Examinations before the said Lord Lieftenant and Council and after that this Informant was sent for before Sir Robert Booth Lord Chief Justice of the common-Common-Pleas at Dublin and by him ingaged to prosecute the said Thomas Allen for the said Treasonable and dangerous words And this Informant saith that soon after this Examination aforesaid a certain English man who as this Informant was informed had been an old Souldier or Officer and lived in or about the County of Wicklow in Ireland whose name this Informant hath forgot came also before the said Lord Lieftenant and Council and there upon his corporal Oath declared that there were some certain Irish-men about the time of the said Thomas Allen's Speeches offered him a Commission to raise men and also to impower him to give Commissions for that purpose to whom he should think fit and advised him to get all the assistance he could and told him he should be supplied with money to carry on the business and they should be in a readiness within twelve days then next following for that they expected about that time to rise and be up in Arms against the Protestants in Ireland and saith that about three Weeks or a Month after all the said English-mans Stock Cattle Goods and Substance were taken from him whereby he was ruined and quite undone And although the said English-man Petitioned the Lord Lieftenant and Council for relief in such his distressed condition yet could he not obtain any relief as the said English-man declared and told this Informant who since that time could never see him or hear any thing of him And this Informant saith that being as aforefaid engaged by the said Lord Chief Justice Booth to prosecute the said Thomas Allen a Pursevant was accordingly sent for the said Thomas Allen but he could not be found and immediately after this Informant saw the said Allen and the Earl of Clanrickard together in the said Earls Coach come into Dublin where the said Earl appeared with the said Allen as his assistant and the said Allen together with this Informant presently appeared before the said Lord Lieftenant and Council and by them was examined concerning the said Treasonable words and Speeches so by the said Allen spoken as aforesaid all which the said Allen denied and also denied that this Informant or his said Father was or were at the house of him the said Thomas Allen or in Portumna at the time aforesaid whereupon this Informant being again examined in the said Thomas Allen's presence did again confirm the truth of the Premises and then also proved that this Informant and his said Father were the 12th of April in the house of the said Thomas Allen in the Town of Portumna And this Informant the better remembers it to be on the day and year aforesaid for that he had a Bond which was then and there sealed and delivered to this Informants use where Simon Allen a Brother to the said Thomas Allen had set his name as a witness And upon this Informants then producing the said Bond and shewing the same to the said Thomas Allen he could not deny the hand-writing of his said brother Thereupon the said Lord Lieutenant and Council declaring they were very well satisfied of the truth of this Informants evidence did press and importune the said Thomas Allen to make an open and ingenuous confession of the whole truth of the matter telling him if he did not confess it would be worse for him But the said Thomas Allen notwithstanding obstinately persisting in his said denial was by the Lord Lieutenant and Council ordered to stand committed close prisoner without Bail or Mainprise and so commanded the Gaoler to take him away Nevertheless the said Thomas Allen was the very same day by the prevalency interest means and procurement of the said Earl of Clanrickard or otherwise set at liberty upon his giving his own security of One-hundred pounds penalty personally to appear within ten days next after notice should be given for that purpose to be left at the house of one Thomas Lowe scituate in St. Thomas Street in Dublin before the Lord Lieutenant and Council and not to depart without license And this Informant further saith That some short time after this Informant and his said Father having further occasion to travel in the said County of Galway they came to the River Shannan where the wind being very high it was late before the Ferry-boat could pass them over to the said Town of Portumna where
