further_o we_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o inform_v your_o honour_n that_o the_o fee_n in_o the_o say_a court_n be_v so_o extravagant_a that_o mr._n palmer_n who_o act_v as_o register_n in_o the_o right_n of_o mr._n poultney_n and_o divide_v the_o profit_n with_o he_o demand_v of_o mr._n luke_n dillon_n for_o the_o fee_n of_o his_o father_n adjudication_n eighty_o six_o pound_n and_o mr._n

in_o ready_a money_n to_o mr._n palmer_n and_o give_v he_o his_o bond_n for_o fourteen_o pound_n more_o and_o have_v pay_v mr._n steel_n five_o pound_n beside_o ten_o pound_n which_o he_o have_v pay_v mr._n palmer_n for_o order_n the_o cause_n be_v continue_v in_o the_o court_n near_o two_o year_n nor_o be_v this_o a_o single_a case_n for_o many_o more_o have_v pay_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n on_o the_o like_a account_n the_o charge_n of_o enter_v a_o claim_n only_o before_o we_o act_v in_o our_o commission_n be_v near_o five_o pound_n though_o by_o express_a word_n in_o the_o article_n of_o limerick_n no_o person_n ought_v to_o pay_v any_o fee_n but_o to_o write_v clerk_n 21._o we_o may_v add_v to_o this_o that_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o court_n of_o claim_n be_v almost_o universal_o complain_v of_o and_o we_o fear_v with_o too_o much_o reason_n some_o person_n have_v be_v adjudge_v without_o post_v their_o claim_n other_o within_o a_o day_n or_o two_o after_o before_o the_o king_n council_n or_o witness_n can_v be_v ready_a which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o court_n itself_o that_o require_v fourteen_o day_n between_o the_o post_a every_o claim_n and_o the_o adjudication_n it_o be_v also_o observable_a that_o if_o any_o person_n will_v disclaim_v his_o estate_n he_o meet_v with_o very_o little_a difficulty_n in_o be_v adjudge_v though_o afterward_o there_o can_v be_v no_o obstacle_n in_o the_o reverse_v his_o outlawry_n and_o consequent_o to_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o estate_n in_o general_n it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o there_o have_v be_v great_a miscarriage_n in_o the_o say_a court_n and_o that_o in_o many_o case_n the_o article_n of_o limerick_n and_o gallway_n have_v be_v expound_v too_o beneficial_o in_o favour_n of_o person_n outlaw_v and_o often_o on_o the_o oath_n of_o one_o witness_n who_o we_o humble_o conceive_v can_v not_o be_v convict_v of_o perjury_n either_o by_o common_a or_o statute_n law_n by_o this_o mean_n we_o apprehend_v a_o great_a many_o person_n have_v be_v restore_v to_o their_o estate_n that_o upon_o review_n will_v be_v find_v to_o belong_v to_o his_o majesty_n to_o come_v to_o a_o more_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o which_o we_o send_v to_o the_o say_a mr._n palmer_n for_o the_o minute_n of_o the_o adjudication_n but_o he_o have_v take_v they_o in_o shorthand_n only_o and_o never_o since_o transcribe_v they_o we_o can_v not_o get_v such_o a_o account_n as_o be_v sit_v to_o lay_v before_o your_o honour_n we_o shall_v only_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o we_o very_o extraordinary_a that_o more_o

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

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

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

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
