than the said James Marquess of Ormond and his Heirs Provided that this shall not extend to any of the Lands held of James Marquess of Ormond or the Lady Marchioness his Wife as of any their Manors but that all such Lands shall be held of the said James and the Lady Marchioness and their Heirs by the same Tenure and at the same Rents and Services as heretofore any thing in this Our Declaration to the contrary contained notwithstanding And whereas the Earl of Inchequin hath been dispossessed of his Estate for his eminent Service and adhering unto Vs and is now by Act of Parliament ordered to be restored to his said Estate We are graciously pleased hereby further to Declare That he be accordingly restored to his said Estate and that such who shall thereby â—e removed and are justly capable of reprize that they shall be reprized as others in lâ—ke cases are to be reprised And whereas we understand that by the â—â—te usurped Powers during the Distempers of these Tiâ—â—â— several Irish Proprietors of the Popish Religion have been dispossessed of their Estates meerly for being Papists and have shed out Decrees and are possessed of Lands in the Province of Connaught and County of Clare in compensation of their former Estates which being an Act of their own We might without any injustice deny to relieve them in yet so willing We are that any Interest intituling in self to Equitable mercy mâ—ght not be disappointed that We declare That all innocent Papists being such as shall prove themselves to have been Faithful and Loyal unto and never acted against Our Royal Father or Our Self since the two and twentieth day of October One thousand six hundred forty one though they have sued out Decrees and are possessed of Lands in the Province of Connaught or County of Clare in lieu of their former Estates shall notwithstanding be restored to their said Estates by the second of May One thousand six hundred Sixty one Provided that the said Lands in Connaught and Clare so allotted to the said Papists be restored unto Vs to Reprise others or for satisfaction of such Irish Proprietors thereof so far as this Declaration excludes them not or if the said Lands in Connaught and Clare or any part thereof have been sold by any such Papist that the said Papist out of his Estate to which he is to be restored shall pay the Purchase-Money to the said Purchaser his Heirs or Assigns and whosoever either by Reprize or Restauration shall enjoy the said Lands shall make satisfaction to the said Purchaser for all necessary Reparations and Improvements upon the said Lands before he be admitted to the possession of them Provided also That whatsoever Adventurer or Souldier that shall be removed from his present possession to make room for any such Papist shall forthwith have a Reprize of equal value worth and purchase in other Forfeited Lands Provided alwayes That whereas the Corporations of Ireland are now planted with English who have considerably improved at their own Charges and brought Trade and Manufacture into that Our Kingdom and by their Settlment there do not a little contribute to the Peace and Settlement of that Country the disturbing or removal of which English would in many respects be very prejudicial That all such of the Popish Religion of any Corporations in Ireland
who have been for Publick security dispossessed of their Estates within any Corporation shall be forthwith Reprized in Forfeited Lands Tenements and Hereditaments neer the said Corporations to the full Value Worth and Purchase of such Estate as he was dispossest of within such Corporation And that particularly the Popish Inhabitants of Cork Youghall and Kingsale shall have undisposed Forfeited Lands set out to them in the Baronies of Barrimore and Muskerry in the County of Cork according to their respective Decrees past in that behalf Provided that in the case of innocent Papists within the said respective Corporations that were dispossessed as aforesaid it shall remain in His Majesties Power to grant restitution in like manner as is provided in the case of other innocent Papists We are also graciously pleased that the Lands and Houses set out to any person or persons for satisfaction of any Money lent or publick Debts incurred for Provisions Armes or Ammunition furnished for support of Our Army in Ireland in the beginning of the Rebellion shall be and remain disposeable for the satisfaction of such of the said Debts and Debentures for such Debts as upon examination of the respective Cases shall appear most deserving consideration and satisfaction in such proportions as shall be thought most equal and just We are likewise graciously pleased to declare That the Lands set out to George Duke of Albermarle Captain General of Our Armies of England Scotland and Ireland for his Arrears and Service in Ireland as also the Lands being for Arrears purchased by him and whereof he is now possessed and the Lands setled upon Roger Earl of Orrery Charles Earl of Mountrath Richard Lord Baron of Caloony Chidley Coote and Thomas Coote Esquires the Relict and Heirs of Sir Simon Harcourt Sir William Penn and the Relict and Children of Col. George Cook Sir Theophilus Jones Sir George Ayscough and the Orphans of Colonel Owen O Connelly for their Service and Sufferings in the War of Ireland As also the Lands set out to Richard Urial and Thomas Crostthwart of One hundred Pounds per annum As also all such Lands Tenements and Hereditaments as Arthur Lord Viscount of Valentia hath purchased from any persons in actual possession thereof by virtue of any Grant Order or disposition of the late Vsurped Powers or any of them shall be setled and confirmed unto them their Heirs and Assigns respectively And also that Lands be set out to Major George Rawdoh in satisfaction of Debentures due to him for Arrears and Provisions furnished for Ireland Provided alwayes and We do hereby declare that it is not Our intention thereby to weaken or avoid the Iust and Legal Citie of any Person that is restoreable by this Our Declaration But that if any of the said Estates shall be accordingly restored to the former Proprietor that then a Reprize of equal Value Worth and Purchase shall forthwith be assigned in lieu thereof And as We cannot but with extraordinary sadness of heart remember and even at present behold the desolate and distracted condition that Our Kingdome of Ireland hath been and is reduced unto by the unnatural Insurrection begun in the Year One thousand Six hundred Forty one and consequently abhor and detest the Contrivers and obstinate Promoters of the same against Vs Our Crown and Dignity So We cannot upon the considerations formerly exprest in this Our Declaration deny all Iust and Reasonable Provision that may stand with the present Iuncture of Our Affairs unto such of the Irish Nation who not onely gave early Evidences of their Repentance for their Crimes but also persevered in their Loyalty to Vs and Our Commands And that as near as We can Our Iustice and Our Mercy in accommodating this Interest might not justle each other We are in a different manner to consider of such of them as are justly Entituled to the Benefit of those Articles of Peace formerly mentioned and such who did not submit unto the same or after a submission made a departue from the same which two latter sorts have justly forfeited that Favour which otherwise they might have received We are also further to consider of those who embraced the said Articles and submitted to the said Peace without any Apostacy in a different notion as of those who remained in that Our Kingdome who sued out Decrees and received Lands in satisfaction of their ancient Estates and those who being Transported into Forreign parts through many difficulties Vnited Rendevouzed and served under Our Obedience So that upon these considerations We think fit and declare and accordingly do declare That as to those who imbraced the said Articles and submitted to the said Peace and constantly adhered thereunto and remaining at home sued out Decrees and obtained possession of Lands in the Province of Connaught or County of Clare that they are to stand bound by them and not to be relieved against their own Act who contented themselves to enjoy a part of satisfaction for their own rather than to attend our Restitution or submit themselves to Our Command in Forreign parts as others did And yet if the conditions of those seem hard they can no more reasonably expect that We should further relieve them than Our friends in England and Ireland can expect that we should pay back to them all the Moneys they were compelled in the evil Times to pay for their Compositions which they would have avoided had it been in their power And in case any justly Entituled to the said Peace have obtained Decrees for Lands in the Province of Connaught or County of Clare in lieu of their former Estateâ— and have not been possest of lands according to such their respective Decrees We further declare That if by the First day of November One thousand Six hundred Sixty one they shall not be possest of such Decreed lands they shall immediately after the said day he otherwise satisfied for the same And as to those who continued with Vs or served faithfully under Our Ensignes beyond the Seas We think fit and accordingly declare That they shall be restored to their former Estates if they by themselves or Agents Authorised by them have not prosecuted and obtained Decrees and lands in the Province of Connaught or County of Clare in compensation of their former Estates a Reprize being first assigned and legally set out of the remaining Forfeited lands undisposed of to such Adventurer or Souldier or other person before named of equal Value Worth and Purchase to the Estate out of which such Adventurer or Souldier or other person aforesaid shall be so removed Yet so that if any Charge Debt or other legal incumbrance have been due upon or out of any such lands so to be restored which by law or good Conscience ought to be discharged by the party so to be restored And that the said Charges Debts or Incumbrances have been discharged or satisfied by the party his Heirs or Assigns from whom such lands are now to be Reprized
that such persons their Heirs or Assignes may and shall hold the said lands until they are satisfied and contented of and for the same And that none of the persons so to be removed shall be accountable for the Rents or Profits of the Estates out of which they shall be so removed which Rents and Profits and Arrears of Rents they are respectively to receive until they are possest of other Estates as aforesaid as also reasonable consideration for reparations of Houses and other necessary improvements made and to be seen upon the premisses wherein like regard is to be had to the respective Tenants and Lessees for their Improvements but where the Landlord took Fine he is to be accountable for the same towards satisfaction for their Improvements who paid the said Fine And lest such Restorations and Reprizes if not speedily effected might be attended with many prejudices to all parties concerned therein We declare that the farthest time for accomplishing thereof shall be by the Three and Twentieth day of October One thousand Six hundred Sixty and one And whereas divers persons for most of whom a general provision is made by this Our Declaration have for Reasons known unto Vs in an especial manner merited Our Grace and Favour particularly the Earl of Clanricard the Earl of Westmeath the Earl of Fingal the Earl of Clancartie the Lord Viscount Gormanstown the Lord Viscount Mountgarret the Lord Viscount Dillon the Lord Viscount Taaffe the Lord Viscount Ikerryn the Lord Viscount Nettervill the Lord Viscount Galmoy the Lord Viscount Mayo the Lord Baron of Dunboyn the Lord Baron of Trimletstown the Lord Baron of Dunsany the Lord Baron of Vpper Ossory the Lord Bermingham Baron of Arthunry the Lord Baron of Strabane Colonel Richard Butler Sir George Hamilton Knight and Baronet Sir Richard Barnewel Baronet Sir Redmund Everard Baronet Sir Valentine Brown Knight Sir Thomas Sherlock Knight Sir Dermot O Shaghnussey Knight Sir Daniel O Bryon Knight Colonel Christopher O Bryan Mr. Richard Belling Son to Sir Henry Belling Knight Righard Lane of Tulske Esquire Mr. Edmund Fitzgerald of Balymalo Mr. Thomas Butler of Kilconnel Mr. _____ Macnemarra of Creevagh Mr. David Powre of Kilbolane Mr. Donnogh O Calaghane of Clonmeen Mr. James Copinger of Cloghane in the County of Cork Mr. George Fitgerrald of Ticrochane Mr. Barnard Talbot of Rathdown and Conly Geoghegan of Donore We do hereby declare That they and every of them without being put to any further proof shall be restored to their former Estates according to the Rules and Directions in the last fore-going Clause of this Our Declaration concerning such as continued with Vs or served faithfully under Our Ensigns beyond the Seas many of whose Names hereafter follow viz.
