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

give unto them others for the remaining part not satisfied the which Debentures so delivered upon the said Purchase shall at the making of the Contract be fairly entred in books for that purpose to be kept And if any such Purchaser or Purchasers shall fail so to deliver up Debentures according to his Purchase as aforesaid such Sale or Purchase shall not be good or allowed unto such Purchaser or Purchasers nor such Officers Debentures admitted in any other Purchase Provided alwayes That where any Purchaser shall purchase with Money he shall pay down one fifth part of the Money at the making the said Contract and the remaining part within Eight and twenty dayes and failing of the said payment within Eight and twenty dayes he shall forfeit the said Fifth part paid and the Purchase shall be void and the Money so paid in Purchase shall be towards satisfaction of the Arrears of the said Officers The said Purchase being fully perfected in manner as aforesaid you are to give unto such purchaser or purchasers a Certificate of the particulars thereof which Certificate such persons shall forthwith Record in Our Surveyor Generals Office whereupon Our Court of Exchequer shall forthwith grant an Order for the quiet possession of the Premisses For your more full information as well of the particulars aforesaid as in the Value Worth Quantity Quality Scituation of such Houses Lands Tenements and Hereditaments so to be sold you are to have recourse to the Surveyes taken of them and where you shall suspect such Surveys faulty you are to appoint fit persons to Re-survey and Certifie the same unto you Whereas the Corporation of Bandon-Bridge having formerly issued several sums of Money and Provisions for the Pay and Support of the Army in Ireland to whom in consideration of the said Moneys and Provisions Lands have been assigned and set out upon the Receipt of which Lands they have delivered up their Vouchers you are therefore to examine what Lands have been assigned and set out to them and to settle so much thereof upon the said Corporation as shall amount unto the clear yearly value of One hundred pound by the year You are also to take care that the Lands set out to Susanna Bastick and her Children be accordingly confirmed to them And whereas We have by Our said Declaration assigned the benefit arising from the Redemption of Mortgages Statute Staples and Iudgements where the Lands are not already disposed of to Adventurers or Souldiers for and towards the satisfaction of such Officers who received no satisfaction for their Arrears before the Fifth day of June One thousand Six hundred Forty nine you are therein to observe these following Directions You are to have recourse to the Records of the late Court of Claimes and Our Court of Exchequer or other Courts the better to ascertain your knowledge what Lands were so incumbred as also if you shall see cause you are to make inquiry in all places within Our Kingdom of Ireland for the Discovery of such Mortgages Statute Staples Iudgments and other Incumbrances And after such particular knowledge of the premises obtained on the remaining term you are to make a just Estimate according to the Rates currant of what the Fee-simple of such Lands Tenements and Hereditaments lying under the said Incumbrances are worth alwayes deducting the Moneys to be paid in order to discharge the said Incumbrance and the same particularly and distinctly to enter into one or more Books fitted for that purpose and if the person Entituled to the Incumbrance will pay what the Land amounts to in value above the Moneys payable in discharge of the said Incumbrance then such person is to have the absolute Estate of the said Lands legally setled to him and his Heirs But if such person shall refuse to pay the said Over-plus then if any Officer interested in the said Security will purchase any part thereof he shall after discharge of the Incumbrance out of the common Stock of the said Security enjoy the same as far as his Debenture or so much thereof as he shall place thereupon shall reach And for such part of the benefit arising out of such Incumbred Lands which shall not be purchased by any Officer as aforesaid it shall be put to Sale and the Moneyes by such Sales shall be for the satisfaction as is in Our Declaration expressed And whereas We have assigned a years Rent and a year and a halfs Rent payable by the Souldiery in Ireland towards the satisfaction of such as in our said Declaration are expressed you are therefore to take care that the said Moneys and Rents be paid unto such persons as We shall particularly appoint to receive the same who are hereby Authorized and impowered from time to time by Proclamation or otherwise to cause publick notice to be given to the respective Adventurers Souldiers and others who are to pay the said moneys of the manner place for payment thereof And if any Adventurer Souldier or other person shall refuse or neglect to pay his or their moneys in way or manner and at the place so to be appointed the Lands Tenements and Hereditaments of such person so failing shall be seized into Our Hands and so continue for Security and Satisfaction of the said several Rents And the said Souldiers are to pay the said moneys unto such persons as We shall appoint to collect and receive the same who are to pay over the same unto Our Right Trusty and well Beloved Cousin and Councellour Arthur Lord Viscount Valentia Our Vice-Treasurer of that Our Kingdom who is hereby required to issue forth the same according to such Warrants or Orders as he shall from time to time receive from any five or more of You as aforesaid for and towards the Satisfaction of the aforesaid Arrears And to the end Our said Vice-Treasurer may know what sums of Money he is to receive all Acquittances given by those appointed to collect and receive as aforesaid are to be entered and signed by the several Officers of the Exchequer in the accustomed manner for Acquittances You are also from time to time to take a perfect Accompt from such persons so to be imployed of all the particular Receipts payments relating to the premisses which Accompts so taken are to be kept in a fair Book and returned into Our Court of Exchequer that so they may be ready to be produced for the Satisfaction of such as may be concerned therein Before you admit any Deventure of any Officer who hath Arrears satisfied since June One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine You shall satisfie such whose Arrears You shall state and such whose arrears are stated and have not
