the Parliaments Commissioners then sent to treat with the Marquesse of Ormond but delivered them no Message or Letter though he met them at the Harbours mouth returning after the treaty was broke off yet went he then into Dublin and continued there about a fort night for which he was never questioned 8. That upon a discourse betwixt his Lordship and one Collonel Pollard about the King and his Lordship delivering up the Garrisons of that Province to the Parliament his Lordship said these words viz. If the King had dealt by me as he might have done things had not beene here as now they are 9. That their hath beene great abuses in the stores of Victualls by his Lordship 10. That there hath beene divers Priests Souldiers in Command some of the Rebells supreame Councell and some of their generall Assembly protected by his Lordship 11. That publique Masse hath beene frequently said in Corke and in Kinsale since his Lordship being made of the Province by the Parliament 12. That his Lordship going to besiege a Castle called Ballimartire belonging to one Edmund Fitz Gerrald a notorious bloudy Rebell and his Lordships Uncle gave order to an Officer of the Army to goe into the Castle and there to signify to the Priests and Religious men that his Lordship was content they should have free liberty to bee Provided they went away before the Gunnes were planted which Sir Arthur Loftus having told his Lordship that if the Parliament should know of such actions that they would desert us Whereupon the Message was forborne We whose names are subscribed doe undertake to have all these above mentioned Articles sufficiently proved Broghill Arthur Loftus The answer to the said Articles To the First 1. THat Custodiums according to the Lord Presidents Instructions were imployed to the publique use or for reward of well deserving Officers and for the contentment of the Officers generally when meanes was short or rather when there was no meanes at all stirring and for the incouragement of such as did both raise and reinforce their Troopes and Companies at their owne costs and charge and by their owne Industry without having any advance from the State That no Custodium hath been conferred on any Officer that hath served under the King untill he had actually served the Parliament nor upon his meniall Servants but such as were Members of the Army or where the Proprieter had made over some precedent interest or ingagement unto them upon the expelling the Irish out of Corke and other Garrisons it was of good advantage to the State That his Lordship should place any persons in the severall Messuages and Tenements in the Townes and Lands in the Country on condition to repaire and uphold the housing which otherwise being wast and uninhabited would have fallen to the ground and to incourage tillage about the Garrisons or otherwise the Lands would have layen wast and the Souldiers have wanted quarters to lodge in both in Towne and Countrie neither were they then of any yearely value and if the Lord President had not so granted them they were no Tennants or under takers that were able to stocke or manure them or to give any considerable Rent out of them which yet the Officers did pay to the publique by Takes Rates and impositions layd as occasion and the necessity of the Army required And the Lord President hath beene induced to offer houses to severall persons on condition only to keepe them up with promise that if they were not allowed to hold them a considerable time they should be reimbursed their charges and though by that meanes many of the bonies were preserved yet for want of Inhabitants and more such undertakers about 3000. good houses in Corke and neere as many in Yoghall have beene demolished by the Souldiers finding them empty and for want of fireing on their guards and in case the Lord President wanting meanes to maintaine his Servants had assigned them Custodiums or some profit out of their estates which by his industry were subject to Custodiums it is conceived to be without prejudice and to the advantage of the publike service his Lordship having taken care that an exact accompt upon oath should be kept of all profits of Custodiums to the end the State might be answered for the same out of the pay of the Officers or otherwise and if the profits and values of those Custodiums granted to his meniall Servants as Grooms and Barbers c. Who are not Officers of the Army were computed they would not amount unto 40. l. per annum at that time and the same may be charged on the Lord Presidents accompt and so no disservice to the State can arise As for the imputation that his Servants lived in greater plenty then others of their quality it is but a bitter insinnuation or if they did live so it was by their owne industry and if others of better merrit were in want 40. l. per annum would have afforded them but little releife and it was so little the Lord Presidents desire the States Interest should want improvement That he hath often importuned and desired by his severall addresses hither to the House and to the severall Committees that a Committee might be sent over for the setling and taking of accompts of Custodiums and for leasing out Houses and Lands for some such terme as might induce Tenants to give a certaine Rent after the Officers had improved them and drawne in Tenants upon them and such a Committee his Lordship was promised and an Order was made for sending them away in September 1645. which occasioned that his Lordship in expectation of them did nothing of himselfe in order to the recalling of the Custodiums And further assoone as the Lord President did arrive the Commissioners appointed long before did deliver in a Booke at the Councell table of the Custodiums their values according to their returnes made unto them upon oath of which Custodiums divers were granted by the Lord Broghill during the Lord Presidents being in England his Lordship having then left him his Vice President To the second 2. That many Officers who had served against the Parliament in England were placed in Commands there is true And it is as true and well knowne to the Lord of Broghill and Sir Arthur Loftus that the most part of them were not of his Lordships placeing therein as the Regiment which upon surrender of Wareham to the Parliament conditioned to be recruited to receive a months meanes and to be sent for Munster and the Regiment sent over with Sir Arthur Loftus consisting for the most part both Officers and Souldiers of such as had served the King against the Parliament and were taken Prisoners at Nazeby Besides the Officers and Souldiers that were at severall times sent over by the Parliaments Generalls out of Wales Cornewall and other parts and were enlarged and sent into that service by order of the Parliament or of the Committees of the House and
