against the Rebels from whom notwithstanding hee tooke the said Horse and Armes commanding him to be gone out of his Garrison and that if he did not hee would Hang him or if ever he got him againe he

with Treason and committed him close Prisoner where hee detained him in Durance the space of a Yeare and upwards without suffering any man except Serjeant Major Iames Galbraith to speake unto him which was but once and that upon much importunity whose extreame misery was lamentably bewayled by all the men that were in that Garrison And then hee not onely seized upon and kept his Castle of

had then aswell without as within Doores there not suffering his Souldiers to come out of Restraint or use their owne Armes untill hee had unlawfully compelled them to take an Oath to serve as Souldiers under his onely Command By reason whereof the said Mr. Parck was utterly disabled to performe farre greater and much more advantageous Services in every degree in that place for this honourable Parliament against the Rebels then ever the Informer did or could doe there as this Respondent hath been credibly informed aswell by the Testimony of sundry other honest men as by the said Mr. Parck himselfe Whereupon Sir Edward Povie Knight whose Daughter was the Wife of the said Mr. Parck together with others his Friends being advertised of his extreame hard usage Petitioned the Lords Iustices and Councell of Ireland for his removall to Dublin to answer such matters as the Informer had to lay to his charge and entred into Recognizance of 10000. l. for his appearance upon which their Lordships by Order dated in May 1643 or thereabouts required the Informer to set the said Parck at libertie to be sent either to Captaine Folliot to Ballyshannon or unto this Respondent to Jniskillin together with the matters that he had to object against him That so he might be conveighed by them or one of them to Londonderry to be sent from thence to Dublin But the Informer notwithstanding the said Order was shewed unto him denyed obedience thereunto And detained the said Parck still in durance untill his said friends procured severall Orders commanding his inlargement yet nothing would prevaile to that effect with him untill that about the beginng of September 1643 Captaine King comming with a Troope of horse from Conaght into Vlster about some businesse he had with Sir William Stuart and Sir Robert Stuart he came about the 13.th of that Moneth to Jniskillin unto this Respondent who sent his Ensigne with 50 Musquettiers to guard the said Troope to the Abbey of Boyle in Conaght which is about 40 myles from Iniskillin who were so farre from knowing or allowing of the said Cessation mentioned in the said fourth Article that they fought with and kild some Rebels in the passe of Ballinafadd and tooke a pr●y from thence to the Boyle whence upon returne of the said Ensigne he came to Mannor Hamillon in his way where he delivered a letter from this Respondent to Lieutenant Lesley the Informers Lievtenant it being direc●d to the Informer or in his absence to the Officer in chiefe at Mannor Hamilton with an Order of the Coppie of an Order which the Respondent received from the said Captaine Foliot in it directed also as aforesaid from the Lords Iustices and Councell of Jreland for the inlargement of the said Parck to be sent to Iniskilin or Ballyshannon which this Respondent left to his choise to doe or not to doe as best pleased the Informer or his said Officer who sent the said Parck along with the said Ensigne and because he was sensible of the great misery which he had wrongfully sustained by his Captaines severity he delivered to the said Master Parck two of his owne horses with some other little helpe toward his charges as the said Parck told this Respondent when he came to Iniskillin before which time this Respondent was never acquainted with him neither did this Respondent know or ever heard that he was affected to the Rebels neither did he know any manner of certainty of the concluding of the Cessation with the said Rebels untill he received advertizement together with a Proclamation to that effect from the Lords Iustices and Councell of Ireland the 23 of October 1643 or thereabouts nor did he or could he obey the said Cessation before or since that day neither did he take any notice whether the Informer or his wife and children were gone to London-derry Neither was the Marquesse of Ormond at that time Lord Iustice Lord Deputy or Lord Lieutenant of Ireland nor did this Respondent receive any such Commands from his Lordship to send to the Informer as in the said fourth Article is surmized neither did this Respondent looke for or expect any indirect corresponding from the Informers Lieutenant And this Respondent saith That as a Prisoner and poore distressed Englishman his Countryman being under bayle and mainprize as aforesaid he gave some entertainment unto the said Parck for some few weekes in his house farre short of feasting as the Informer tearmes it and not finding safety to convey him by the neerest way to Dublin He sent a guard together with one Henry Langford and other English and Scotchmen with him to Mannor Hamilton againe where he heard he was lodged for a Night and where the Informer or his Officer might have detained him if they pleased But from thence he was conveyed by the said Langford and others to the Abbey of Boyle whence after he recovered of a Feaver whereof he had almost dyed he repaired to Dublin and according to the condition of his said friends Recognizance appeared before the Lords Iustices and Councell at the Councell Board there where how he was proceeded withall this Respondent knowoth not Neither did this Respondent returne him back amongst the Rebels neither doth he know whether any of them did accompany him to Dublin neither doth this Respondent believe that the state there would grant him an Order for Restitution of his Castle with whatsoever Armes or Goods were in it unlesse it appeared to them that hee was wrongfully expulsed by the Informer And this
