CERTAINE INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND Worthy Sir I Having not Intelligence of this Bearers going for England untill this very instant doe hope that you will excuse my Brevity to give you an account of the Passages and occurrences of these parts answerable to that short tract of time which I have allotted to expatiate my selfe in It is like to be a most miscrable time with us here if that we should not be speedily relieved with more force out of England My Lord of Muskrey exspecteth to be King of Munster and intendeth to beleaguer Corke and this Fort But we care not a louse for him nor for all his Forces All the Papists in Jreland are up in Rebellion and have sworne and articled to dye in this quarrell There is not an Enghlish man in all Ireland that hath a Cow Sheepe or Chick left but what they keepe under the command of a Castle or walled Towne and by reason of words made knowne to me that some of my houschold did heare some of my Tennants say I was willing to withdraw my Estace and Goods from my House at Ballinrea for some of my Household asking some of them what they would doe now in respect of that rebellion that now ●●s in Ireland they answered them they did intend to joyne themselves to the strongest side After which Information given unto me of such speeches falling from their mouthes I had taken all that I had from Ballinrea and intended to quit the Castle but that I was betrayed by my owne Tenants and lost my Wayne and Oxen and other things but to no great value But they are taken by such neighbours of mine as I wisht might take them because I hope to have their Lands for it To morrow I intend to ride out and to carry a Troops of Horse to Ballinrea where I intend to hang and burne most part of my Tenants and I intend before I returne to have a flirt at Carby of Balea The next weeke my Lord President will plant a Piece of Battery against his Castle which Piece I am now making ready to that purpose thus time calling me off for the present I am constrained to forbeare any further Recitall of what is here Novall I rest Your assured Lordships Friend A. M. from the fort of Corke March 11th 1641. NEWES FROM ABOUT DVBLIN TREDAM AND KILKENNY WE have 4000. men and 500 horse that are now marching up to a place caled Jallow-Hill where the Rebels do make us beleeve that they wil bid us a battell But we can scarse credit it that they will be as good as their words wee rather think they will not abide the shocke when it comes to triall For they are very much afraid of our great Gunnes We have six small peices of Ordinance and 2. great Peeces and they doe not love to heare the roaring of the Cannons our Cannoneers playing upon them with our great Gunnes is a dismall sight to them There hath arrived here from Bristow 500. Men and 1000. Men are come over from Minyard and my Lord President of Munster came downe to meet them and went along with them up to a place called Killkenny which was in the hands of the Rebels and he with his forces set upon them and forced them out of it and the English and Protestant forces have slaine of the Rebels nigh 2000. and taken 60. Prisoners of good Ranke and Qualitie Also within 5. Miles of Tredah or thereabout our forces set upon the Rebels and slew many took my Lord Netters-feild and Colonell Reade which Reade perceiving how hard it was like to goe on their side seeing his men drop downe so fast in earnest thought it good policy for him to drop down amongst the slaine in jest and thereupon he fell downe and did lie still among the Souldiers that were dead that so they might thinke him to be dead also and passe him by and thereby he thought when he had opportunity to make use of his leggs to save himselfe But one Souldier among the rest of our Souldiers seeing so goodly a fine Belt upon a Gentlemans shoulders lying on the ground and probably thinking that the Belt might be his as well as anothers if he were dead he did make triall whether he was dead or no and gave him a good kicke with his foote on the hinder parts the Gentleman having his sense of feeling quicke lying downe rather upon policy then impotency got him up and away he ran with all the speed he could but all to little purpose for he was quickly taken and is now fast Also Philom Oneale was put to his shifts and necessitated to escape over into a feild of furses and it being knowne that he had made an escape that way they set the feild of furses an fire and so they ferrited him out but he did steal away in the smoke and whether he is yet taken or no we have no certaine Intelligence FINIS
