A Letter of the Earle of Corke to the State at Dublin and sent over from thence by the Governour to his LADY in London THe Earle of Barrimoore making a visit here to mee to see his Lady and Children had ten of his horse and ten of his foot all proper men and English surprised in the night time at Coole by the Condons Who set Mr. Baynards house afire wherin they were which they defended and killed severall of the Rebels till the house began to fall down about their eares The Rebels seeing their resolution offered them quarter which they accepted upon promise to depart with their horses and Armes But the English Souldiers no sooner came forth but they contrary to their promise disarmed and stripped them the Rebels being three hundred in number of which the principall Leaders were Richard and Iohn Condon two Sons of David Condon who is now in custody in Dublin I pray therefore move the Lords Justices that he may be committed to the Castle for those two wicked bloody sons of his their Followers after they had disarmed and stripped the Soulders and possessed themselves of their Armes and their 〈◊〉 horses they most savagely hacked and hewed them in peeces cutting out their tongues and their privie members and killed and spoyled all the rest of the English in that my Towne neither age nor sex exempted any For they killed old women blind men and such women as were with child and ripped the children out of their bellies and left them lying dead together The newes whereof being brought to the Earle of Barrimore he presently posted home and with his Forces burned and spoyled their whole Country killing all hee could light upon giving them no other quarter than the Condons gave his men at Coole Sir Robert Trevers his Castles of Rochfords Towne neere Corke was the rendevouz of the Lord of Muskery and for all the prime Gentlemen that were Rebels in the Werstern parts which they termed the Catholike Camp and fortified it by the directions of old Colonell Garret Barry who with the Lord of Muskery was a little before retyred to Kinsale which unhappy Town is revolted and given up unto them So as we have no Towns in Munster holds good for the Crown but Cork this Town Youghall and Bandanbridge For Limrick hath taken of the Wards of the Castle imprisoned them and M. Courtney Constable of the Castle This City entertaines all Rebels that come to them and therefore it is easie to be judged what their inclinations are The eleventh of this Month Muskery employed a strong party of men to take the prey that was under the walls of Cork whereof they being possessed and the Lord President being sick within the walls the Lord of Insequine and Sir Charles Vavisor the one with the horse and the other with the foot sallyed out but the nimble foot kerns got such a start of them as our foot were not able to overtake them whereupon the horse galloped after them and entertained them in fight till our foot recovered up who with great courage set upon them recovered the prey and killed so many of them as they could serve upon for the bog that was neere them With which good successe they being fleshed they resolved in their return to attempt their best upon the Fortification and Castle of Rochfords Town Whereunto they gave a great and fierce assault and Captaine Seogave Master Finunis Brother having chiefe command there made a strong defence so long as his Powder lasted for thanks be to God with that commodity they are sparingly furnished which is a great part of our happinesse But in in the end our mens courage overcame all opposition So as they entred and gave them Condons quarter at Coole for they killed their Captain and all the rest that were in it being about foure hundred except three Pipers whom they caused to play before their Captaines head which they brought upon a Pole to Cork and there they were put out of tune and their musick ended for they were all hanged up They found in the Castle very good booty and provision and amongst the rest choice Armor of the Lord of Muskeries M. Carty Teaghe and Swallirant and all the choyce of them are retired into their sevetal Countries expecting to bee supplied with Powder by some shipping to come into the West and have left the Lord Roach in great discontent and distresse to shelter himselfe in an open Champion Countrey where I hope we shall give him work enough If we had more men and money of which two principall materials we are very defective and are likely to be till God sends my sonne Dungarven backe who was employed by the Parliament to the King at Tork which will retard his return with such aydes as hinders many of our attempts The day following this defeat given to the Lord Muskery my Castle of Rathgogg●● wherein Sir Pierce Smiths Father-in-law M. Robert Mend is my Constable and wherein I keep a strong Ward being besieged and distressed for want of fuell only was relieved by Captain William Ieps●● and Lievtenant Downing and their Forces which being done they burned and preyed the Countrey and in their return Sir Edward Fitz-Harris Bartonet with some five hundred of the Lord Roaches tatter demallians intended to intercept them and their prey but they politikely drew them from their strength till they got them into plaine ground where their horses might charge them which they did so furiously as they killed their Captaine tooke the Lievtenant with the Ensigne and his Colours and killed above two hundred and fourtie of them and so returned without any great losse Goggans Castle of Barnhely which stands upon the Sea in the Barrony of Kerry-wherry was the Magazine of store for the Rebels in that Barrony On Friday last Sir Charles Vavisor boated from Cork two Pieces of Ordnance with a party of Musketiers and failed thither and landed one of his Pieces of Ordnance The Lord Insequine with his horse went by land and met him there And upon discharging of the first Piece the Ward desired quarter which was given them to depart with their swords and skeins only The Castle being surrendred they found in it above one thousand Barrels of wheat with other provision and vittuals wherein they placed a Ward of fourty men and returned to Corke unfought withall Thus you see how God in his mercy after the severe punishment hee hath laid upon us for our sins turnes his favourable countenance upon us and goes out with our Armies which I hope his grace and power will strengthen and defend with like good successe If we might be supplied with more men and money hither before they receive more Powder and Munition When the Lord of Muskery and Chieftaines in Carburry and the rest after their losse had separated themselves as M. Carty Teagues people were marching neere Bandon Bridge my Sonne Kinnalmeck with his Forces of horse and foot sallied out of the Town and set upon them and as I heare had a very good day but the certainty therof is not yet come unto me for the wayes are so blockt up with numerous Rebels that I have not since heard from him but what I have by flying reports which I dare not certifie without better assurance although God be praysed in all his attemps hitherto he hath had good successe My Sonne Broghill hath drawn out all the Musketiers that can be spared out of my Wards of the severall Castles which I keep in those part Mocollop Connyge Castle Mogally Bally●●● Castle 〈◊〉 and Lisinny with two Companies which hee takes with him from Lismoore and 〈◊〉 and two troops of horse with two Companies that I meane to send over this night by boat from hence to meet him about 〈◊〉 hath a designe tomorrow before day God blesse him to scoure all the Country to 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 and to try his best upon Sir Nicholas Welsh Captain 〈◊〉 Captain Fitz-Gerrald and the rest that with their Banners dispayed daily affront us in the sight of this Town the good successe I hope shortly to relate to the Lords Iustices and Counsell Signed Cork From Youghall the 20 of April Badmily writ this later part My Lord Broghils troop and my Lord Dungarvens with some foot from Lismore and Capoquin and Captain Thornton out of this Town with a hundred and fifty foot went over the water and have burned Antony Russels house and all the houses for the most part there abouts and have killed three hundred of the Rebels already and still are in pursuite of them and have pillaged all the Countrey Die Martis 3 Maii 1642.
