some of their respective Assigns may prove to be refractory in paying and allowing their just proportions of money for the said ends and for defraying of the publique charge there about it being

or to their use were at any time before the two and twentieth of October One thousand six hundred forty one Lawfully seized or possessed upon which words Seized or possessed some doubt or question in

may be intiled or presented to be intitled to the whole Territory of Upper Ossery within which place the Lands intended to be restored to the said Colonel John Fitz Patrick do lye and so by consequence the seizin and possession thereof which was in the said Colonel John Fitz Patricks Grandfather at the time of the said Office or Inquisition found may be from the said nineteenth year of King James conceived to have been in the Kings Majestie and not not in the said Colonel Fitz Patricks Grandfather or any other in trust for him although he or some of them were then in the Actual possession and occupation thereof and received the profits Be it therefore Enacted and explained by the Authority aforesaid that the said Colonel John Fitz Patrick shall hold and enjoy to him and his

the said former Act partly by reason of some doubt conceived that the said Company was not upon the establishment of the Ulster Army Whereas in truth the said Company was received into the said establishment though the Order whereby the same should be made appear could not then be produced and partly by reason of other accidents Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid That the Commissioners for Execution of this Act shall forthwith and before any distribution made of the Houses lands Tenements Hereditaments or summs of money herein before appointed for the security and satisfaction of such Commissioned Officers as served before the fifth of June One thousand six hundred forty nine cast up and state the arrears which were due to the said Henry Finch Deceased for the

was adjudged innocent His Majestie after much time spent in the examination of the case declared that he saw no cause why the said Marquess should be adjudged innocent much less that the Commissioners not at all considering the proofs which they heard against the said Marquess should lay the whole weight of their judgement upon His Majesties Certificate the said Certificate being onely to declare that the Marquess was imployed into Ireland to procure what Forces he could from thence to be transported into Scotland for his late Majesties service under the late Marquess of Montross To the end that the conversation of the said Marquess of Antrim in the Rebells quarters which was necessary for that service might not according to the letter of the former Act render him criminal if that had
