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

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

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

himself_o according_o and_o so_o no_o verdict_n be_v give_v on_o the_o say_a mr._n kirevan_n who_o be_v thereupon_o bind_v over_o to_o appear_v the_o next_o assize_n at_o gallway_n to_o take_v his_o trial_n 82._o the_o house_n of_o clanrickard_n have_v a_o vast_a territory_n within_o that_o province_n with_o few_o or_o no_o protestant_a tenant_n thereon_o the_o great_a part_n whereof_o by_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 advance_v the_o protestant_a interest_n of_o that_o province_n 83._o and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o do_v humble_o acquaint_v your_o honour_n that_o several_a of_o the_o grantee_n have_v raise_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n by_o sale_n of_o their_o land_n and_o estate_n in_o the_o whole_a amount_v to_o 68155_o l._n 3_o s._n 1_o d._n as_o do_v hereafter_o more_o particular_o appear_v viz._n the_o right_a honourable_a the_o earl_n of_o athl-ne_a have_v sell_v so_o much_o of_o his_o grant_n as_o amount_n to_o the_o sum_n of_o 17684_o l_o 12_o s._n and_o here_o we_o think_v we_o ought_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o lord_n athl-ne's_a grant_n be_v confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n the_o right_a honourable_a the_o earl_n of_o r-mn-y_a have_v sell_v so_o much_o of_o his_o grant_n as_o amount_n to_o 30147_o l._n 11_o s._n 1_o d._n of_o which_o 5323_o l._n 14_o s._n 7_o d._n remain_v unpaid_a in_o the_o purchaser_n hand_n the_o right_a honourable_a the_o

use_n of_o by_o some_o of_o the_o grantee_n or_o their_o agent_n to_o make_v the_o encumbrance_n appear_v great_a though_o we_o believe_v if_o they_o be_v due_o inquire_v into_o they_o will_v be_v find_v considerable_a but_o that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o they_o may_v have_v be_v pay_v off_o by_o the_o preception_n of_o profit_n before_o this_o time_n however_o we_o humble_o conceive_v that_o at_o present_a they_o will_v be_v much_o more_o than_o discharge_v by_o the_o personal_a and_o other_o forfeiture_n not_o before_o value_v which_o we_o now_o humble_o lay_v before_o your_o honour_n 66._o as_o we_o inform_v your_o honour_n before_o soon_o after_o the_o battle_n of_o the_o boyne_n commissioner_n under_o the_o great_a seal_n of_o ireland_n be_v appoint_v who_o have_v power_n to_o

possession_n who_o make_v return_n of_o great_a quantity_n of_o good_n and_o chattel_n which_o they_o value_v at_o 13552_o l._n but_o at_o so_o moderate_a computation_n that_o every_o horse_n be_v value_v at_o twenty_o shilling_n every_o cow_n or_o ox_n at_o fifteen_o shilling_n sheep_n at_o half_a a_o crown_n a_o piece_n and_o other_o thing_n proportionable_o so_o that_o it_o appear_v very_o probable_a to_o we_o that_o if_o the_o say_v good_n have_v be_v dispose_v of_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n they_o may_v have_v yield_v between_o two_o and_o three_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n but_o before_o that_o can_v be_v do_v upon_o representation_n of_o the_o then_o commissioner_n of_o the_o revenue_n the_o power_n of_o dispose_n by_o the_o say_a commissioner_n of_o forfeiture_n be_v supersede_v by_o a_o letter_n from_o his_o majesty_n within_o nine_o day_n after_o the_o grant_v their_o commission_n and_o place_v in_o the_o commissioner_n of_o the_o revenue_n by_o this_o mean_n so_o much_o time_n be_v lose_v before_o their_o book_n and_o good_n seize_v by_o the_o sub-commissioner_n can_v be_v transfer_v to_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o revenue_n that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v either_o embezele_v by_o the_o sub-commissioner_n of_o forfeiture_n or_o the_o commissioner_n of_o the_o revenue_n or_o else_o plunder_v by_o the_o army_n at_o their_o return_n into_o winter_n quarter_n so_o that_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v ever_o account_v for_o to_o his_o majesty_n above_o the_o value_n of_o 44000_o l._n beside_o these_o there_o be_v great_a quantity_n of_o other_o good_n in_o the_o inquisition_n which_o we_o do_v not_o find_v ever_o come_v to_o his_o majesty_n use_n and_o many_o more_o be_v seize_v by_o private_a men._n indeed_o the_o plunder_n at_o that_o time_n be_v so_o general_a that_o some_o man_n in_o considerable_a employment_n be_v not_o free_a from_o it_o which_o seem_v to_o we_o a_o very_a great_a reason_n why_o this_o matter_n have_v not_o be_v more_o narrow_o search_v into_o particular_o the_o lord_n c-n-ngsby_a seize_v a_o great_a many_o black_a cattle_n to_o the_o number_n of_o three_o hundred_o or_o thereabouts_o beside_o horse_n that_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o park_n after_o the_o battle_n of_o the_o boyne_n and_o which_o we_o do_v not_o find_v ever_o be_v account_v for_o to_o his_o majesty_n he_o also_o seize_v all_o the_o plate_n and_o good_n in_o the_o house_n of_o sir_n michael_n creagh_n lord_n mayor_n of_o the_o city_n of_o dublin_n for_o the_o year_n 1689_o which_o be_v general_o think_v to_o amount_v to_o a_o great_a value_n but_o this_o last_o be_v say_v to_o be_v by_o grant_n from_o his_o majesty_n there_o be_v several_a rich_a good_n and_o other_o household-stuff_n deliver_v by_o the_o commissioner_n of_o the_o revenue_n to_o the_o then_o lord_n justice_n the_o lord_n s-dn-y_a and_o lord_n c-n-ngsby_a which_o we_o do_v not_o find_v be_v ever_o return_v account_v

which_o it_o be_v say_v his_o majesty_n have_v since_o discharge_v 68_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o general_a report_n of_o the_o country_n very_o many_o person_n have_v make_v their_o advantage_n of_o these_o forfeiture_n but_o the_o time_n be_v so_o distant_a the_o proof_n so_o difficult_a and_o withal_o the_o hope_n of_o get_v any_o part_n of_o they_o back_o again_o so_o remote_a that_o we_o rather_o choose_v to_o prosecute_v more_o material_a inquiry_n and_o therefore_o can_v give_v your_o honour_n no_o far_o information_n concern_v they_o 69._o but_o since_o the_o value_n of_o the_o before_o mention_v good_n and_o chattel_n be_v so_o uncertain_a we_o make_v no_o estimate_n of_o they_o but_o will_v proceed_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o debt_n due_a by_o judgement_n and_o statute_n and_o a_o few_o mortgage_n due_a to_o forfeit_v person_n not_o restore_v which_o amount_v to_o 120013_o l._n 13_o s._n 10_o d._n as_o appear_v in_o a_o book_n deliver_v in_o with_o this_o report_n n._n 8._o 70._o and_o here_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o these_o debt_n be_v liable_a to_o all_o the_o objection_n make_v against_o the_o encumbrance_n before_o mention_v only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o as_o the_o encumbrance_n may_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n satisfy_v by_o the_o preception_n of_o profit_n the_o creditor_n be_v many_o of_o they_o in_o possession_n by_o her_o late_a majesty_n letter_n in_o favour_n of_o protestant_a creditor_n or_o at_o least_o that_o the_o full_a interest_n have_v be_v pay_v out_o of_o the_o rent_n so_o in_o the_o other_o the_o full_a penalty_n be_v due_a no_o interest_n appear_v to_o be_v pay_v since_o the_o forfeiture_n and_o therefore_o we_o humble_o conceive_v may_v be_v take_v as_o so_o much_o in_o discount_n against_o encumbrance_n 71._o and_o here_o we_o crave_v leave_v further_o to_o observe_v that_o almost_o all_o the_o say_a judgement_n be_v find_v in_o the_o court_n of_o exchequer_n only_o and_o from_o a_o mistake_n of_o our_o order_n no_o return_n have_v be_v make_v from_o either_o of_o the_o court_n of_o law_n by_o which_o mean_n we_o believe_v many_o more_o debt_n appear_v upon_o

add_v the_o debt_n due_a to_o forfeit_v person_n as_o we_o humble_o conceive_v we_o shall_v full_o discharge_v the_o encumbrance_n aforesaid_a and_o if_o there_o be_v room_n to_o apprehend_v any_o

the_o country_n that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o land_n call_v unprofitable_a in_o the_o survey_n except_o those_o in_o kerry_n which_o we_o account_v as_o nothing_o be_v now_o profitable_a acre_n

we_o have_v compute_v the_o forfeit_a estate_n according_a to_o the_o present_a value_n and_o the_o current_a price_n of_o coin_n here_o be_v they_o now_o to_o be_v set_v without_o any_o regard_n to_o

which_o be_v real_a and_o fraudulent_o set_v up_o we_o think_v it_o most_o proper_a to_o make_v a_o general_a allowance_n for_o the_o same_o by_o way_n
