PREFACE.

Lord Coke defines a record to be "an anthentic and uncon-
troulable testimony in vrriting, contained in rolls of parch-
ment, and preserved in conrts of record ;" and records are said
to be " ' ilonumeDta qnse nos recorda vocamus sunt veritatis
et vettistatis vestigia' — a. monument of so hish a nature as it
imports in itself such an absolute verity, as if it be pleaded,
' there is no such record,' it shall not receive trial bv wit-
ness, jury, or otherwise, but by itself; for, in evidence before
a jury, the copy of a record will be sufficient proof of its
existence and contents."

In every age, the records of a country have been esteemed
interesting to its inhabitants. They reveal the mysteries of
remote ages, minister to national importance, perhaps to
national vanity, and afford instructive contrast with modem
times. They invite a desire of inquiry, whether they be
regarded as serving to illustrate national history, or as
the expositors of individual rights ; treasures of which it is
difficult to decide whether they belong with a greater " em-
phasis of interest" to the civilian or to the sage ; and as thev
register the reminiscences either of prosperity or decay, an
acquaintance with them suggests admiration of deeds of illus-
trious note, or detestation of ignorance or iniquitv.

As has been well observed: " Science and literature have
many departments, not one of which is undeserving of our
regard, so long as it is cultivated in a liberal and philosophic
spirit ; but the history of our own country and of its language
has especial claims on our consideration. It is no morbid
feeling which leads us to turn with a longing and affectionate
interest to our ancient history and literature. It is no
fond national conceit which inspires us with the desire to

gather and preserve those of its scattered records which have
escaped the tooth of time or the ravages of barbarism."

The Grecians and the Romans were solicitous for the pre-
servation of their recortls; and in the hieroglyphics of the
Egyptians and the Assyrians we find imperishable memorials
of their history and habits.

In "cncral, histories show abundant marks of ignorance and
incorrectness with regard to the existence and contents of our
public records, a fact of which there is uniform testimony
from the daj-s of Lord Bacon and Lord Coke to our own
times. When a person engaged in historical or antiquarian
research wishes to build upon the evidence of public docu-
ments— the only sure foundation of historical truth — it ordi-
narilv hajipens that in the progress of Ids incjuiry he is obliged
to refer to many records, as it is obvious that the records of
nations must be a princijial source upon which the history of
those nations ought to be founded, and it is necessary for
literary men, for the establishment of truth, to verify the
authorities and references of early writers, yet how few have
considered the importance of them in this respect? Infinite
are the aids to be found in our record repositories, if they can
be but brought to light. How much of the' internal convul-
sions of Ireland and its position, may be ascribed to a conceal-
ment, mutilation, or destruction of legal and constitutional
evidences ? .Such was the opinion of the late Burton Conyng-
ham, who wished to have the records of Ireland explored,
authenticated and explained, after the manner of Ilymer, and
at the public expense; and many valuable remains of antiquity,
for want of an casj' and jiroper access to them, have long been
Avithheld from public notice.

Mr. Gilbert, the learned historian of the city of Dublin,
states, that " owing to the inaccuracy, neglect, and mcagre-
ness of previous \raters, the investigator is, at the present day,
in his researches among unpublished and unindexcd original
documents, obliged to encounter dilliculties and obstacles un-
known to those who are not conversant with the neglected state
of various departments of the historic literature of Ireland;"
and suggests, " that the Goverinnerit would adopt measures for

PREFACE. VU

tlie publication of the ancient unpublished Anglo-Irish public
records, numbers of which, containing important historic
materials, are now mouldering to decay ; while the unindexed
and unclassified condition of tliose in better preservation, ren-
ders their contents almost unavailable toliterary investigators.
These observations apply more especially to the statutes and
enactments of the early Anglo-Irish parliaments, upwards of
twelve hundred of which still remain unpublished, although
the ancient legal institutes of England, Scotland, and Wales,
have been long since printed at the public expense. The most
valuable illustrations of the history of the English ijovernment
in Ireland are derivable from these Anglo-Irish statutes." Mr.
Gilbert complains, that " while in other countries the publica-
tion of the national records, and the labours of previous dili-
gent investigators, have facilitated the inquiries of historians,
the total absence of such aids in this country, imposed upon
him the double task of deciphering and collating the ancient
documents in the various record repositories."

The venerable Bede informs us that " Irish academies were
numerous, and her schools full of all nations ;" historians have
transmitted to us accounts of the anxiety of the Irish for the
preservation of their records ; and we are informed that jjre-
vious to the introduction of Christianity, periodical assemblies
were ordered for the purpose of examining and regulating
their monuments of antiquity, genealogies and chronicles;
and whatever was approved of as authentic, was registered
or enrolled for the benefit of posterity.

Others incoi-rectly assert that the Irish, before the Engli.sh
Conquest, had not any regular system of laws or government,
or the benefit of offices of record for the custody of the material
transactions of the State ; and that possibly afforded a good rea-
son why the history of those remote times is so mysterious and
unsatisfactory. If so, the collections concerning Irish affairs
from the Tower of Loudon, contained in Rymer, Prynne, and a
few others, show a material improvement in this respect. What
the labom's of Mr. Rymer have accomplished, in an historical
way, is well known; and from the like fund of materials some
historian hereafter may be found to do credit to Ireland.

VIU PREFACE.

In tlie creat assemblies of civilized nations tlie rank of
Ireland was once recognised. We read in Lynch, that
after the re^^val of learning in Europe, when national preten-
sions had been duly investigated, and indeed more jealously
guarded, the antiquity of Ireland as a kingdom was dis-
cussed before a competent tribunal. On one of those im-
portant occasions, when the Kings and States of the Christian
world assembled for regulatinf; national rishts, as well as
other affairs of equal magnitude, and formed those great pub-
lic Councils called the " Parliaments of Christendom," or
" Senates of Europe," this point, as to Ireland's antiquity, was
brought to issue. It appears by the enrolments of the French
Rolls in the Tower, that a public Council was convoked in the
city of Constance, and Henry the Fifth, then King of England,
being unable to be personally jiresent, as he intended, at the
assembly, or, as he says, " quia taliter pra.'pcditi quod ibidem
juxta votura nostras mentis iiersonaliter interesse ncquimus,"
addressed royal letters to the other Kings of Eurojie requiring
protection and safe conduct for the Abbot of York and other
of his Abbots, then repairing to Constance, as also exemption
for them, their attendants and retinue, from the usual dues
payable while travelling through foreign dominions. Henry,
at the same time, executed royal instruments whcreliy he
made it known to the Council, that, being prevented from
attending in person, he had appointed as his " Ambassiatores,
Oratores, veros ct indubitatos, Procuratores, Actores, Fac-
tores et Nuncios speciales," the Bishops of ]?;ith and Wells and
St. David's, the Abbot of Westminster, the Earl of Warwick,
and others, to bo present at such general Council, and in his
name, and for him, to treat, discuss, and do all things neces-
sary; and the character of the men who sat in this assembly
as rejirescntatives of England, may be gathered from the
words of a cotemporary historian : — " Utquu de aliis tnceanms,
<le regno Anglias missi sunt ad concilium viri valde venera-
biles Salisburiensis, Bathoniensis, llerefordensis Episco]!!, et
cum his. Abbas Westmonastcrii, Prior Wigornia^ et plures alii
poUentes ingenio, religione fainosi : horuni ca3tum lionoravit
inultipliciter prajsentia Coniitis Warwceusis."

PREFACE. IX

" On tlie opening of this assembly, however, the rank and
precedency of Henry's ambassadors in the Conncil became a
subject of contention between them and the ambassadors of
France. In favoiu- of the latter country, while great learning
and ingenuity were displayed, the cause of England was
vigorously maintained, as might be expected from the rank
and talents of those who represented her; and pending this
contest, the affairs of Europe were laid aside, that the Council
might determine this arduous question. At length the
assemblv rave iudcment in favour of England, and one of
the principal and most cogent reasons for England having
thus obtained rank and precedency over her powerful rival
will be found in the following argument of the British
ambassadors : — ' Satis enim constat, secundum Albertum mag-
num et Bartholomeum de proprietatibus rerum, quod toto
mundo in tres partes diviso, viz., Asiam, Africam et Europam :
Europa in quatuor dividitur regna : — primum, viz., Romanum ;
secundum, Constantinopolitantim ; tertium, Regnum Hibei'-
nias, quod jam translatum est in Anglicos : et quartum, Reg-
num Hispanise ; ex quo patet quod Rex AngliiB et regnum
suum de eminentioribus antiquioribus regibus et regnis totius
EuropjB, quam prerogativam Regnum Franciaj non fertur
obtinere.' "

Our records contain much curious and valuable informa-
tion, and are calculated to throw great light upon many of
the principal events of the periods to which they relate, and
amongst those now remaining, none are more illustrative of
the time than an ancient Pipe Roll of the year 1171. By this
document we find that Henry H., when abou^t making a voy-
age royal into Ireland, in that year, "proclaimed scutage
throughout his dominions ; in consequence, all those hold-
ing in cajnte, by military service, were bound to accom-
pany the king in his expedition; and if not proceeding in
person, were allowed to send so many knights, or to make
pecuniary compensation, in proportion to the service due
out of the estates which they held under the Crown. The
purposes to which this money was applied by the king, or,
imder his orders, by Randulph de Glanville, are set forth

on tlie Roll, and tlie princijjal payments seem to liavc been
made for the equipment, provisions, and shipping of tlie army,
M'hich, numerically, from those payments we can perceive
far exceeded the foi'ce described by our historians ; some of
the smaller items are not undeserving of notice at this day.
Thus we find 26*. 2d. (or gilding the king's swords; £12 10a.
for 1,000 lbs. of wax; 118.s-. 7(/. for 59 lbs. of almonds sent to
the king in Ireland; 15s. lid., for five carts, to bring the
wardrobe of the king's household from Stafford to Chester, on
their way to Ireland; £10 7s. fur spices and electuaries for
Josephus i\Iedicus, his Majesty's doctor; £4 for a ship carry-
ing the armour of Robert Power; £29 Oa. 2d. for wine bought
at Waterfiiril ; Os. Sd. for the cari-iage of the treasure from
Oxford to Winton ; £333 Gn. Sd. to John, the jMarshall, to carry
over to the king in Ireland; and £200 to the king's chamber-
lain, to bring to his Majesty, on returning fi-om that
country."*

The legal proceedings of the Saxons were transacted at the
county court, and were sent to the chartulary of some
adjacent monastery to be registered. Richard the First pro-
jected a general register for the Jewish mortgages, and
Hovenden has preserved a copy of this register. Magna
Charta was intended to be perpetuated, by a copy being
sent to all the great monasteries for preservation and publicity.

In France, as early as the sixteenth century, it was
ordered that all wills and deeds, containing "substitutions"
of estates, should be i-cgistercd within a particular period of
time, under pain of being rendered disputable even to the
parties in whose favour those entails were made; but it was
decreed that they were inoperative against creditors or pur-

chasers.t

The most ancient institutes in this country are what are
called the " Brehon Laws;" they were compiled i)y learned
individuals, and, at a very remote age, were collected into a
great body of juris])rudenci"; and are still extant. The
Brehons were those legislators, who modelled the laws by
which our early provincial judges determined all controversies

submitted to judicial investigation ; and it is a source of
congratulation that tlioser venerable remnants of antiquity will
shortly be presented to the public; for the Government,
animated by an enlightened desire for the publication of the
ancient records of the empire, have intrusted their publication
to hands qualified for this uitei'esting duty.*

To the Brehon was allotted an estate of inheritance, and in
criminal cases he had the eleventh part of all fines ; and those
laws seem to have been in general use in this country until
the Statute of Kilkenny, 40° Edward III., which prohibited
the inhabitants of the Pale from submitting to trial bv Bi'ehon
Law. But, so late as the reign of Elizabeth, we find the
" Brehon" in the full plenitude of his authority, being recoe-
nised in that capacity in a judicial proceeding ; and, in the reign
of James I., that law "was in large operation in the kingdom."

It is a source of regret that we have not a perfect series of
records, from the commencement in this country of the Eng-
lish Government: occasioned by the decay of time; by the
negligence of ofiicers ; by the insecurity in which they were
kept ; and by casualties from fire. No public repository was
devoted to their safe custody, nor was proper care taken for
their preservation. The Talbots, Carews, Perrotts, and other
illustrious personages, the Secretaries, Presidents, and Lord
Lieutenants of Ireland, during their brief sojourn in this
country, appear to have collected all the valuable MSS.
within their reach ; and on the ex2:)iration of their office, and
return to their own more tranquil homes, to have carried with
them the most valuable and interesting records of the country
— some of which are now to be found in the State Paper
OfiSce, the Record Office, RoUs Chapel, the Museum, the
Lambeth, Cottonian, Harleian, Lansdown, and Bodleian Li-
braries, in the last of which are preserved the Perrott MSS.,
and amongst them the letters of Sir John Perrott to the Qusen
and her ministry, while he was Lord Deputy of Ireland, from

* On the SlLiiiorancla Roll of the 25" and 26° Edward III. we find " Ordinances"
of that King (not noticed in the statutes of the realm), reciting, "Whereas, heretofore,
by reason of debates between Encrlish and English, they have used to be governed
by the law of the MarchtiS and of tiie Brehon, which is not law, nor ought to be
law ; It is accordingly ordained, that neither be henceforth held between them."

July 2, 1584, to May 20, 1586. Amongst the MSS. Rawlin-
son is the " Statutum de llibei'iiiu ;" and Orders of Parliament,
transferred to the Select Committee, appointed to take care
of the affliirs of Ireland. We may thus account for the
wealth of the Cliandos Papers, and tliose in the possession,
more than a century since, of Sterne, then Bishop of Clogher,
so often mentioned in Nicholson's Historica Library. Of
these, Madden and Sterne's collections were given to the Col-
lege of T.C.D., where they now remain ; and hence we may
account for the Carew MS. at Lambeth, and those at Oxford,
brought there during the civil wars, when Charles the First
carried on the government, and held parliaments in that city,
and those contained in Lord Orrery's Library at Christ Church.
Indeed, almost every country in Europe abounds with Irish
documents.

In the reign of Edward I. an Inn was established in the
city of Dublin, called " Collett's Inn," which lay outside the
walls of the city, and here the superior courts of justice
were held. Soon an incident, natural to the then state
of Ireland, disturbed their tranquillity. A band of Irish
from the Wicklow mountains watched an oi)portunity,
whilst the Dej)uty and a greater part of the garrison were on
a military tour, and concealing themselves in thick woods to
the soutliward of Dublin, unexpectedly entered, plundered
the E.xchequer, burned the records, and slew the unarmed
and unprepared inhabitants. On this occasion the legal prac-
titioners were driven within the walls of the city, and the
superior courts of justice were afterwards held at the Castle,
and at Carlow, which was then considered an impregnable
fortress, on the southern frontier of the English P;Je.

In the reign of Edward II. almost all the early records of
the kingdom perished ; wiiich fiict wo find thus recorded on
the Patent Rolls: — "Be it remembered that all the Rolls
of the Chancery of Ireland were, in the time of Ma.stcr
Thomas Cantock, Chancellor of Irclan<l, to the 28th year
of King Edward, son to King Henry III., destroyed by
nn accidental fire, in the Abbey of the Blessed Virgin, near
Dublin, at the time wlicn the abbey was burnt down, except

two Rolls of the same year, which were delivered to Master
Walter de Thornhury by the king's writ." The two Rolls
here mentioned yet remain, and one, entitled " Antiquissimaj
LiterEB Patentes," contains several interesting charters and
muniments of an histoi'ical nature.

This loss is partly supplied by Cambrensis, Regan, and
the Abbot Benedict, writers contemporary with the actions
they relate ; but more amply by the collections from the
Tower Records, London, by Prynue, R ymer, and by Baluzius's
edition of the " Decretal Ejiistles of Pope Innocent III. ;" to
which may be added the " Crede Mihi," " Alan's Registry,"
the "Black Book of Christ Church," and the "Red Book
of the Exchequer," compiled in the reign of Edward I.,
entitled, " Status Scaccarii Dublin in Hibernia ;" which treats
of the officers of the Exchequer, their salaries and business,
of records; and mentions that a certain great book, called
" Doomsday," had, for want of care, been burnt with other
records. At Waterford there was an ancient treasury of
public records, of statutes sent from England, and exem-
plifications of State papers: on one occasion, when there
was a distress for rent, those records were tossed out of
the windows, into the street. Mr. Monk Mason informs us
that the Mayor made a bonfire of the Rolls and Records
which lumbered the Tholsel in that city ; and a fire at
Lismore Castle added yet further to the devastation. We
can trace several documents to this castle, but there we lose
sight of them altogether; and Nicholson mentions that be-
fore the time when Addison became keeper of the Tower
Records, many of these had been miserably neglected and
embezzled.

In the reign of Henry VII., Ireland was a scene of
tumult and violence. At this period, in the town of Trim,
in a strong castle, the records of the country, for security,
were deposited. They were seized on by O'Neill, and
utterly destroyed; and thus the documents, serving for
evidence to constitute the title of the Crown to property,
perished. To remedy as far as possible the inconvenience
to be apprehended from such a state of things, Henry VII.

XIV PREFACE.

procnreil an Act to be passed in tlie tenth year of his reign,
entitled, the " Statute of Resumption," by which tlie Crown
seized into its hands " all the castles, manors, and lordships
of ^larch, Ulster, Trim, and Connaught, which had been
annexed to our Sovereign Lord the King's Crown ; and that
all such records, it)11s, and inquisitions as were remaining of
record in the Treasury of Ti'im, and as should entitle our
Sovereign Lord to all such lordships and manors of late, were
taken and embezzled by divers persons of malice prepense."

This Act, and the state of things which it was intended to
remedy, as far as the interests of the Crown were affected by
it, clearly show how difficult it was for those deriving under
it to establish their title by muniments or documentary evi-
dence, which had been all stolen and dcstroj'ed ; and it was a
mere chance that suffered a few, such as the Patent, Plea,
Close, Statute, and Memoranda Rolls to escape.

This Statute is a parliamentary assertion of the rights of the
Crown; it sets forth that the records were stolen from Trim
and destroyed, and provides a remedy therefor ; but what pro-
vision was made for those holding immediately from the Crown
by patent? — who, in the absence of those records, could prove
a title to his ancestral possessions ? Was this the cause,
two centuries later, of Lord Strafford issuing that famous
"Commission for Defective Titles," by which every pro-
prietor in the West was dispossessed, unless he could show, in
writins:, a clear, indisputable, indefeasible title from the
Crown? Put how few records remained will be found in the
fact, that when the same I^ord Strafford sought to find the
title of his patron, Charles the First, to the entire province
of Connaught, upon an inquiry held at Galway, he ])ro-
duced in evidence this Statute of 10° Henry VH. to show
the loss of the records, and to maintiiin the title of the Crown
in their absence.

Henry VIIL, in the twentj'-fifth year of his reign, writing
to the Lord Deputy and Council, states, " We have, by
sundry means, perceived that oui' records in Ireland have
not been so well kept and jireservcd as a|ipertained, whereof
have ensued divers inconveniences ; our pleasure is, that you,

PREFACE. XV

our Deputy, take ordei- that no man be suffered to take a\vay
any of the same where they be kept, nor to search for tlieni
but in the presence of our trusty clerks, with such further
direction for tlie safe keeping of them as to your wisdom shall
be thought convenient."

In 1537 the Master of the Rolls informed the Commis-
sioners of Reformation, " that, if steps were not taken for re-
building the castle wall, where the law is kept, the majestie
and estimation of the lawe shall peryshe ; the Justices being
then enforced to minister the lawes upon hylles, as it were
Brehons or wild Irishmen on their Eriotts."

In the year 1551, the Lords of the Council stated, that they
were informed by the Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls
that " there was no place certain or convenient for the safe-
guard of the records and muniments of Chancery, other than
the tower within the Castle, which was both ruinous and far
distant from the cathedral, where the courts were held, being
not a place suitable for the daily resort of the officers and
others, his Majesty's subjects, having charge or occasion to
have sight or copies of them; and the Library of Saint
Patrick's Cathedral was considered a secure place for the safe-
guard and custody of the records and muniments, near unto
the Courts. It was accordingly ordered that the said library
should be the place for the safe-keeping of such of the records as
were to be kept out of the tower ; and that the Clerk of the
Hanaper should provide presses or stages, chests, door and
locks for the siu-e keeping and good ordering of the said
records."

On the 12tli June, 1559, Lord Deputy Sidney appointed
four persons to sort the records in Bermingliam Tower, and
for so doing they were to receive £2 each. In 1587, Lord
Deputy Perrott issued a warrant for Robert Legg to get £40,
for making calendars and repertories ; and on the occasion of
Sir Nicholas White, Master of the Rolls, being sent to the
Tower, "for abusing and non-using his office," by order dated
28th April, 1591, the records, rolls, and wi'itings belonging
to his office were committed to the care of Serjeant Fitz-
simons, who was nominated, in the place of Sir Nicholas, " to

Tiooshr to the king's demise, lodged the consideratjon moaer
reqnired bv the Commissioners, had not procured patents ; a
king's lerier was issued, fist Apri], in the first vear of the
ensuing reign, directing that the patents of all such as -were
so circumstanced should l>e completed. These eraiiis bans
subsequent to those of the Acts of Setilement and Exj^anation,
and appearing, to a certain extent, to have arisen out of them,
mar be considered as forming a sequd or appendage to the Acts
above referred to. and were, therefore, considered deerrinir bv
the late Clerk of Enrolments, to have their contents dirested
into a special abstract, of similar character to the abstracts of
the grants published by the directions of the late C<HnniissioaeTs
for arranging the public records, not onlv for the convenienoe
of oScial reference, but to :&cili3ate the lesearches made, and
every year increasing in number, relative to prc'pertv imder
those Acts.

On the rebuilding of the Dublin law courts in 1d95, the
law offices of the various courts were removed to "Cock-
hiil," where the office of the Chief KemeiEbrancer was kept.
The insecurity and inconvenience of the offices there, occa-
sioned the Chief Remembrancer and the Clerk of the Pleas to
represent to the official anthoiities •• That the fomier patentees
of the offices were necessitated to remove their offices to
Cock-hfll; that the offices are in great danger of fire, bv
reason of the adjacent houses being timt-er work ; that the
offices are very inconvenient and extremely too narrow and
strait to lay up the records conveniently, and in order
as they should be kept : and hiunbly ofiered that they could
not find out any convenient and safe place to itmove their
offices to. nor indeed could there be any security -for the re-
cords until offices and repositories should be built, in some
secure and convenient place, for the preservation of the re-
cords, which were very numerous."

In 1697, after the Legislature had passed an enactment
aTiTmlling all the proceedings of the Irish Parliament of
James II. ; the Lord Deputy, Henry Lord Capel, and the
PrivT Council, assembled in the Council Chamber on the
2nd October, and the Act having been read, the Clerk of

papers in their custody relating to the Acts of James the
Second. The door of the Council Chandior was then set
open, and the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, SheriHs, and Commons
of the city of Dublin, with many other persons, being present,
the records, journals, and other papers Avere publicly cancelled
and burned.

In the year 1711 n number of the volumes of the maps of
the Down Survey, taken by Sir William Petty, in the years
16.55 and 1056, by order of Government, were totally de-
stroyed by a fire which took place in a house in Essex-street,
where the Surveyor-General's office was then kc]it. We must
re^rot the loss on that occasion of the petitions and proceed-
ings of the Court of Claims, and other records of great interest.

The Down Survey, before the fire, consisted of thirtj^-one
folio volumes, divided into baronial and parochial maps. At
present there remain in the office of the Surveyor-General
1,430 maps, of which 260 are of the baronies, and the remain-
ing 1,17U of the parishes. An original volume of the baro-
nial maps is at present preserved in the Quit Rent Office.

In order to supply the deficiencies occasioned by the fire
above-mentioned. General Vallancey, by coniuiand of George
III., and with the permission of the French King, was em-
ployed to take copies from a set of barony niajts of the Down
Survey, which had been captured by a French privateer, on
the passage from Ireland to England, and dej)osited in the
French king's library in Paris; which copies arc much more
explicit and compi-ehensive than the barony maps now in tiie
Surveyor-General'sOfficOjand annexed to those of the parishes ;
these containing but the parochial suli-divisionof the baronies,
whilst those copied from the set in Paris contain not only the
same, but also the boundaries and title of each denomination,
and other particulars, besides a reference by number, wiiicli
corresponds with the nund)er and particulars contained in
the books of survey and distribution preserved in the lato
Auditor-General's and Surveyor-General's Offices.

The manuscripts which Sir James Ware (author of (he

PREFACE. XIX

" Annals of Ireland") had collected with groat trouble and
expense, were brought to England by Lord Clarendon, in the
reign of James II., and afterwards sold to the Duke of Chan-
dos. On the Duke's death the documents passed to Dean
Milles, who bequeathed them to the British Museum, where
they now form the principal portion of the collection known
as the " Clarendon Manuscripts."

In the year 1730 the attention of Parliament was called to
the state of the public records, and a Committee of the Lords
was appointed to report thereon ; and, on the 30th November,
their report was printed, in which it is stated that " their Lord-
ships adjourned fu'st to the Rolls Office, in the King's Inns, in
■which were kept the enrolments of all grants, &c., and they
found several rooms, in two sides of the building, inhabited
by very low poor people. In these rooms were many fire-
places, the hearths of which were narrow and broken, and
some of them were raised above the floor; thei'e were also
there deal partitions, straw beds, and other combustible stuff.
If, through the carelessness or vdllainy of these people, a fire
should break out in any of their chambers, as there is a com-
munication between them and the office where the rolls and
pleadings were lodged, their Lordships thought they would
run a manifest hazard of being burnt to the ground, and this
hazard they apprehended to be greater because these Inns
were reported a privileged place, though in reality they were
not, and the inhabitants of these rooms were generally such
as drunkenness and other vices had made necessitous, who
fled thither for sanctuary."

The Pleas Office of the Exchequer, in the year 1732,
was in Castle-street, with houses close joining the office on
both sides, and on one side there was some of cage-work ; on
which account the Lords Committee " thought it too much
exposed to accidents from fire ; and as in this department, and
those of the King's Bench and Common Pleas, were the titles
of almost all the judgment creditors, the Lords Committee
observed, that judgments, being one of the common securities
of the kingdom, the destruction of the records of any one of

62

XX PREFACE.

these offices -woulcl leave a imiltitude of creditors at the
mercy of their debtors."

In the year 1739, the Lords Coniniittoe reported that
the Kind's Bench Office was in Schoolliousc-lniio. Tlie
clerk informed the Lords Connnittee tliat about two years
])reviously a fire broke out very near the office, whicli gave
them a great alarm ; and their lordships state that, "in this
office are kept the outlawries and attainders, those parti-
cularly of Papists, on account of the rebellions in 1641 and
1688 ; and if these should be burned, the Committee fear
that the Protestant successors would, at best, be exjioscd to
vexatious law suits, to defend and establish their titles to
many forfeited estates." Their lordships fiu-ther observe, " that
the public records which concern the jiroperty of the whole
kingdom, were liable to be distrained for rent; and that upon
the death of the officers, they must, for a time, be in the power
of their re]>rescntatives, who, should they prove corrupt or
ncrlio-ent, niiirht in a few hours destroy multitude's of them."

In 1760, the Deputy Keeper of the Rolls described the
record repository as in a very ruinous condition, though
much better, he states, than for many years past, being re-
paii'ed at great expense by Mr. Rigbj^ Master of the Rolls.

At this period tlie King's Bench Office was kept in School-
house-lane; the office of the Prothoiiotary of the Common
Pleas, in Winetavern-street ; Keeper of the Writs, in Bride-
street ; the Pleas Officer of tlie Exchequer, in Castle-street ;
and the Chief Remembrancer's Office, in Kennedy 's-lane,
not one being in a safe or commodious situation.

Although the Irish Parliament froiiucntly directed their
attention to the records of this country, and repeatedly
evinced their opinion of the imjiortance of the subject, yet
they a])pear to have i)rincipallj coiifmed their anxiety to pro-
viding buildings for their sale keei)ing, but to have taken no
steps towards affording information or facilitating inquiries
into the contents of those records; and although both houses
of the Irish Parliament, in the years 1721 and 17!tl, called
for such returns, yet the statements given pm'suaut to their

PEEFACE. XXI

oi'ders were defective and valueless, and the subject was soon
forgotten amidst the discussion of matters at that time consi-
dered of more vital consequence.

At length, in the year 1810, a Royal Commission issued for
the better regulation of the records in Ireland, which were then
"in a state of great confusion." By it the Commissioners wei'e
directed " to methodize, regulate, and digest the records,
rolls, books, and papers, in the public offices or repositories ;
to cause such of the records, rolls, instruments, or papers, as
were decayed and in danger of being destroyed, to be bound
and secured ; to make perfect calendars and indices thereof,
and to superintend the printing of such of the calendars, in-
dices, and original records, as they should cause to be
printed." The necessity for tliis proceeding will be found in
a report ordered by the House of Commons to be printed,
dated 7th July, 1830, where it is stated, that " in consequence
of the confusion and dispersion of the records through various
offices, it became necessary to undertake the laborious pri-
mary process of collecting and arranging them in the proper
repositories to which they belonged; as also of forming ab-
stracts in order to provide the materials of many works for
press or fair transcript, wherein several years were consumed
and considerable expense incurred." These obstacles and
difficulties, and the necessity of these preliminary proceedings,
were laid before Parliament in a report of the Commissioners,
in which it is also observed, " that with the exception of
Lodge's MS. works, there did not exist in any repository a
single calendar, repertory, index, or inventory, that the Com-
mission could avail itself of in the progress of its labours, or
by any correction render useful to the public ; aU was to be
done anew, and the pile raised from the foundation."

The Commissioners proceeded with their onerous task, but
the work was not in active operation until February, 1811;
the intermediate time having been occupied in ascertaining
the contents of the several record repositories, by means of
queries directed by the Board, and transmitted by their Secre-
tary to the officers and keepers of such repositories. In adopt-
ing this process, measures were taken, not only for ascertain-

XXU PREFACE.

iiig tlie contents of those repositories, but also for collecting
such local infoi'niation as might be useful in the progress of
the Commission. Tiie I'esnlt was laid before the Board at
their second meeting, on the 18th of February, 1811, in a
report made by the Secretary on the several answers returned
to the transmitted queries. Sub-Commissioners were then
appointed by the Board, to arrange, metliodi/.e, and to form
catalogues, repertories, and indices to the contents of the fol-
lowing repositories : viz., Bcrminghnm Tower, Parliamentary
Record OiKce, Rolls Office, Cliief Remembrancer's OlKce,and
Auditor-General's Office.

Sub-Commissioners were also appointed to prepare and
print an authentic edition of the luisii Statutes, according
to the plan adopted in England.

At this ])eriod it appears that considerable difficulties pi'e-
sented themselves, arising ])rincipully from the deranged st;ite
of the records, and the very imperfect knowledge of their
contents possessed by those pei'sons in whose custody they
had been placed, two or three only of whom had been found
competent to read the more ancient writings. Those inte-
resting memorials lay buried in se]iulchral vaults and cham-
bers of the Law Courts, the Tower, and the Castle. The
mouldering obscurity in whicli the most precious archives of
the kingdom had so long reposed, was not favourable to their
preservation, many decayed and perished in the catacombs in
which they were entombed, and no inconsiderable nundjcr
has been, doubtless, purloined. The dark cloud that so long
rested on those rej)ositones concealed the origin and early
progress of our early judicial institutions and Parliament, and
the most esteemed general and local histories aboun<led with
numerous and grievous errors. The state of disorder and
confusion into which the records of the princii)al repositories
had fallen is very fully detailed in Lord Chancellor Redes-
dale's report u))on the subject to the Earl of Ilardwicko, and
in the Reports of the English Sub-Connuissioners, who visitetl
Ireland in ]8()(> and 1812.

In the year 1812, returns having been obtained from all
the record repositories, Sub-Commissioners were appointed

PEEFACE. XXlll

for arranging and methodizing the contents of the State
Papers, and of the Prerogative and First Fruits Offices. At
the same time the subject of schedules and inventories of the
books and papers in the Surveyor-General's Office, and of the
maps of the Down Survey, appears also to have engaged the
attention of the Board ; and, accordingly, a Committee from
their body investigated and reported upon various important
matters connected with that valuable record. Tlie attention
of the Commissioners appears further to have been directed
to that part of the late Mr. Lodge's MSS., containing a list of
patentee offices, which they directed to be prepared for pub-
lication. In the following year they ordered one of their Sub-
Commissioners to complete the Catalogue of the MSS. of
Trinity College, for printing; and in 1814, when some pro-
gress had been made in the principal offices and repositories,
Sub-Commissioners were appointed to complete the "Ac/a
Reffia lliheniicd ;" a work that had been commenced by Mr.
Lodge and found amongst his manuscripts.

The Commissioners, by their report of the year 1819, re-
viewing the proceedings which had been taken by the Com-
mission since its commencement, state that their attention had
been directed, in conformity with the powers vested in them,
not only to the arrangement, preservation, and more conve-
nient use of the contents of the principal record repositories
in Ii-eland, but also to such works as would bring to light and
pi'eserve the authentic memorials of the property, laws, and
government of this part of the United Kingdom. The Dio-
cesan and County Records, and the necessity of their com-
plete security and preservation, also came under the consider-
ation of the Board ; but measures respecting them were neces-
sarily ~ postpioned until some progress should be made in
investigating the j^rincipal repositories, in Dublin.

In Bermingham Tower a large quantity of mutilated and
injured records was found, which, until that time, lay un-
explored; and it was exj^ected that amongst them would
be found some of a date more ancient than the oldest known
to be preserved in the department, particularly those during
the reigns of Henry II. and King John. But such hopes were

XXIV PREFACE.

found delusive, altliough in a manuscript preserved in the
Library of Trinity College, Dublin (Class F, Shelf 3, No. 13),
it is stated that, before the year 1680, there was amongst those
records a Roll of the Pipe of the 13th and 14th years of King
John: "/// codem archiro .sire tiirri, cut iiiuis rutulus pi]ia;,
an 13 d- 14 E. Jolni^' ibidem etiam sunt diversi Rotuli Pipae
quidam Rot' comun' placitor' tempore Hen. HI." No Roll
of the reign of King John was found in that repository ; but
there was discovered a fragment of a Pipe Roll of the 13° &
14° Henry IH., which happened to begin with the word
"Johannes" (being the Christian name of the first person
occurring on it), and which, from that circumstance, was mis-
taken for a Roll of King John.

The Commissioners on Municipal Corporations acknow-
ledge they were unable to discover certain collections, made
by the late Record Commissioners, from the records between
the 18th of Richard II. and 1st of James I. (a period of about
200 years); but that they had endeavoured to supply the
deficiencies by reference to the original records within their
reach. They state, in a note, " they have reason to believe
that early records of the Irish Corporations were to be found
in the Tower of London and other repositories in England,
to which they had not the o])portunity of referring."

In the year 1815 the first volume of the reports of the
Commissioners was presented to the public: it contains the
first, second, thu'd, fourth, and fifth Annual Reports, with Sup-
plements, and the returns from the several record offices, and
the state of the records in each. The second volume appeai'ed
in 1820, and contains the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and
tenth Annual Reports, and, in addition, comprises Catalogues
and Inventories of tiie Contents of the Bermingbam Tower
Record Room, the Parliamentary Record Office, the State
Paper Room in the Record Tower, the Surveyor-General's
and Auditor-General's Office, the Rolls, the Chief Remem-
brancer's Offices, the Quit-Rent Office, and the Prerogative
Office. The tliird volume appeared in 182."), and contains
an abstract and reference to tlic principal records and ])ub-
lic documents connected witii tiie Acts of Settlement and

Explanation, preserved in the Rolls and Chief Remembrancer's
Offices.

In the year 1812 an incomjilete work, entitled, " Liber
Munerum Publicorum Hibernite, or the Establishments of
Ireland," was undertaken to be printed under the direction of
the Record Commissioners, from a collection of MS. books,
formed by Mr. Lodge (Deputy Keeper of the Rolls and of the
Records in Bermingham Tower) from the Patent and Close
Rolls. Mr. Duhigg, of the King's Inns, who had collected
further materials for extending the subjects of Mi-. Lodge's
volumes, was appointed a Sub-Commissioner, and directed to
complete two volumes (part of those collections) of patentee
offices for publication. In the Third Report of the Commis-
sioners, vol. i., pp. 481 and 486, it is stated that a plan for an
edition of Lodge's list of patentee offices was laid before the
Board by INIr. Duhigg, but not adopted : and the printing of
the work was suspended until progress should be made with
the Repertory to the Patent Rolls ; and Mr. Rowley Lascelles,
in 181 3, was appointed a Sub-Commissioner, and Mr. Duliiggs
coadjutor ; and they were appointed to prepare a plan of the
woi-k, confining their attention to the documents from wliich
Mr. Lodge had formed his lists. The plan having been laid be-
fore the Commissioners, Mr. Lascelles was directed to carry it
into execution without illustration.

"In consequence of some disagreement with the Irish Record
Commissioners, Mr. Lascelles returned to England about the
year 1820, and agreed with the Government, in 1822, to com-
pile and edit the work, unconnected with the Irish Record
Commission. This agreement was made with the Right Hon-
ourable Henry Goulbourn, then Secretary for Ireland ; and
Mr. Lascelles was engaged on the work until the year 1830,
when it was determined, upon certain representations, not to
proceed with the work, and it was suspended, in January,
1830, by an order of the Irish Secretary, Lord Francis
Egerton. On the 1st November, 1831, Mr. Stewart, the
Secretary of the Treasury, addressed a letter to the Commis-
sioners of Records for England, requesting them to examine,
the work. Their report was made in February, 1832, to the

XXVI PREFACE.

Treasury; and from the representations contained in tliat
report of its incompleteness, imperfections, and improper in-
troduction of irrelevant matter, and the great expense in re-
vising and remodelling it, the work, consisting of seven parts,
was not then proceeded with. Considering, however, that
the work had been found useful by many persons, and that
great expense had been incurred, it was at length determined
to allow the work to appear without incurring further expense
in comjileting it; and although the Commissioners recom-
mended that tlie supplement to the " Historj' of England,''
or " Res Gestaj A nglorum in Hibernia," should be suppressed,
as well as other matters, for introducing which Mr. Ijascelles
liad no authority ; but as the expense of printing had been
incurred, it was thought better to publish it as Mr. Lascelles
left it, " the merits or demerits of the work belonging to that
gentleman." Accordingly, in 1852, two large folio volumes
were published ; but it is to be regretted, as Mr. Lascelles him-
.self acknowledged, various portions are given in an imperfect
and unmethodical form. Lists have been printed, with
notices at the end that they would be vci'ificd at a future time,
and corrected in a subsequent sheet. Besides this, there is a
want of system in the arrangement ; the different lists are often
separated instead of being amalgamated, occasioning rej)eti-
tions and confusion. Chronological order has not been duly
observed ; in some instances the series which ought to precede
in chronological order is made to follow a list of later date.
Illustrative matter not strictly in keeping with the character
of the work is introduced, such as biographical sketches, anec-
dotes, and epitaphs ; yet, with every defect and irregularity,
the collection constitutes a storehouse of information relating
to the official history of Ireland.

In the year 182<j the Commissioners published a volume,
entitled " Inquisitionum in Otticio Rotulorum' Cancellariae
asservatorum repcrtorium ;" and, in the year 1M29, a
second volume. Tiie first, contiiining a rejK.'rt((ry to
the Inquisitions in the Rolls Offices, and comprising the
several counties -rt-ithin the province of Leinster; the second
volume, those of Ulster. The imiuisitions jmsl mortem were

PREFACE. XXVll

taken under Commissions, directed to the esclieators of each
province, finding by the oath of a jury what lands any person
died seized of, by what rents and services they were held,
who was the next lieir, and his age ; by which the right of
the Crown to escheat or wardship was ascertained.

In the meantime, in 1828, was published the first part of
the first volume, entitled " Rotulorum Patentium et Clau-
sorum Canccllarite HibernicC Calendarium," fi-om the reign of
Henry II. to the reign of Heni'y VII. ; but this Calendar, hke
its predecessor, the Calendar to the Inquisitions, being printed
in the abbreviated, antiquated Latin of the period, has been to
the public, for all jjractical purposes, almost useless. The
Commissioners proceeded so far as having piit to press a
Calendar to the Rolls of James I., to the 15th year of his reign,
in English, when the sudden suspension of the Record Com-
mission, in 1830, put an end to their labours ; leaving incom-
plete the Inquisitions of Munster and Connaught, the Patent
Rolls of Hemy VIII., Edward VI., Mary, Elizabeth, a large
portion of the reign of James I., the Memoranda, Com-
munia, Plea, Statute, Pipe Rolls, and other records of the
subsequent reigns.

It is a source of great regret that the Irish Record Com-
mission, so ably conducted and so laboriously pursued, was
thus unexpectedly suspended in the midst of its labours ; what
they were able to accomplish, was, if necessary, an additional
proof of the imperative necessity for the completion of the
duties they were prevented from performing.

In the arrangement and classification of the records in the
public archives, much good was effected by the Commissioners,
by means of which research has been facilitated, and the in-
■ quirer directed in his pursuits, by the publication of descrip-
tive catalogues and repertories. However, just at the period
when the public were about to reap the benefit of the great
expenditure that had been incurred, the labours of the
Commission in this country were abruptly terminated ; inso-
much that some works pnrtly printed, and several prepared
for publication, were all abandoned and left in a crude and
xmfinished state.

XXviii PREFACE.

"WTiat furtlier measures the Commissioners contemplated
we have now no means of ascertaining : the sudden revocation
of the Commission paralyzed the works they had in process of
publication ; and the records of the country from that period
were suffered to relapse into their accustomed oblivion.

The late John Caillard Erck had in contemplation the pub-
lication of a Calendar to the Patent Rolls of James I., and
had proceeded as far as the seventh year of the reign of
that king (forming a very valuable volume), when his
death put an end to a work which he performed with credit-
able fidelity and talent. Since that period nothing whatever
has been done in relation to the publication of the Irish
records, or any assistance afforded the public, notwithstanding
the obvious necessity of a clue through a labyrinth so exten-
sive and so intricate, if we may except a valuable auxiliary
for the investigation of records of antiquity, of interest and
importance, connected with this country, namely, the volume
compiled by the ofHcers of the Trigonometrical Survey.
Although only one volume has been published, and that in
relation to a single parish, yet fi'om the sample it affords, that
work would probably have opened a mine of wealth, not only
to the anticjuary or investigator, but to the nation at large.

Amongst the most important of the Irish records are the
Plea Rolls. They comprise 593 Rolls, fi'om the year 1220
to the reign of Charles I. ; they afford valuable information,
relating to the country in general, and form an interesting
monument of English jurisprudence in its earliest age in this
country. They consist of Pleas of the Crown, Assize of novel
disseisin, mort d'auncestor, inquisitions, ])leadings in real
actions, respecting manors, lands, and hereditaments, many
of them anciently the property of the Crown and Church;
prosecutions for trcspa.sses in royal forests; actions of dower;
waste ; writs of right of advowsons, Darrien presentment, qnare
impedit, and certiorari from inferior courts. They also con-
tain enrolments of ajjpointments of the Justices and Othcci-s
of the Courts; charters, patents, and deeds; with many sub-
jects of a miscellaneous nature, which may be attributed to tlie
practice that prevailed at an early period of making such

PREFACE. XXIX

records, in a great measure, journals of all proceedings in the
Courts.

The Pipe Rolls comprise 184 rolls. They are principally
composed of the returns of the receipt and expenditure of the
royal revenue, contained in escheators' and sheriffs' accounts ;
among which are found references to grants of lands and
money made by different monarchs ; the value of ecclesiastical
livings seized into the king's hands, by vacancy of sees or
otherwise; exemplifications of the Statute of Westminster
against absentees, tempore Henry VI. ; accounts of laymen's
lands seized into the king's hands, and very frequently curious
topographical information, prisage of wines, king's customs
and revenues, quit rents, wardships, and escheats : in addition
to this general information, both the Plea and Pipe Kolls throw
great light on the title to private property, and the gene-
alogy of the principal persons in the kingdom, and are inter-
esting as pourtraying the progress and development of the
Anglo-Norman jurisjirudence in this country, containing, as
they do, most valuable information respecting its history,
laws, and antiquities.

But the want of calendars or repertories to our records has
been severely felt. The public, uninstructed, come to the
offices in the feeble hope of getting some information from
records likely to assist them, and have wholly to rely on the
activity or talent of the officer in charge for success. It may
be mentioned here, in illustration of how our ancient J\ISS.
have been appreciated, that on a late inquiry at the office of
that most efficient and accomplished officer, the Ulster Ivino--
at-Arms, in relation to a legal question of great importance
then pending, I Avas informed that the repertory and indices
to the Plea and Pipe Rolls were in the hands of a private indi-
vidual; and, although subsequently every exertion was made
to procure those invaluable calendars, for the benefit of the
public, they were publicly sold by auction by Messrs. Sotheby
and Wilkinson, in London, a few months since.

The various ancient Rolls of the Exchequer comprise a
series of important and interesting legal information ; valuable
for the lawyer and the historian. They begin in the 6°

XXX PREFACE.

Edward I., and continue to the present tiinc, during which
jicriod tliev luivo been kept in an uninterrupted series, with
tlie exception of some few chasms, the most considerable of
wliich occur during the reign of Edward I.

The Memoranda Rolls, properly so called, appear to com-
mence in the 1st Edward II., and comprise 393 Rolls, up to
the 12° Anne. To these an incomplete index, which was
afterwards sold to Sir William Botham, was jireparetl by the
late William Lynch (author of the Feudal Dignities). Some
few years since, anxiety to acquire a knowledge of those valu-
able records induced me, in the intervals of professional relaxa-
tion, to undertake the difficult task of preparing four volumes
of indices to those interesting muniments ; by which means I
became familiar with them, and was thus enabled, on many
occasions, to refer the professional and literary inquirer to
their invaluable contents.

The Patent Rolls of Chancery commence in the reign of
Edward I., and are continued down to the present time. Upon
these Rolls are contained the enrolments of gi'ants in fee or
perpetuity, for lives and years; of Crown lands, abbey lands,
and escheated lands; patents of creations of honour; grants
of charters of incorporation and liberties; grants of offices,
denizations, ferries, and fisheries ; patents for inventions,
and specifications; licences and pardons of alienation ; pre-
sentations; promotions to bishoi)rics and deaneries; special
licences; grants of wardships; commissions; inquisitions ^w.«/
iniirtim and on attainder; orders of Council; depositions of
witness in jwrjirltKim iri memorium; deeds; conveyances;
grants in aistodiain ; grants of manors and all their np]iur-
teuanccs, and of fairs and markets ; surrenders of lands and
offices to the Crown ; summonses to Parliament ; bonds ;
obligations; rej)levins; pardons; letters of attorney ; licences
for officers to treat with the Irish; treaties; Papal bulls;
proclamations; letters of jfrotection; writs of iimoniis munus
of possessions taken by the Crown ; writs of ouster It main ,-
deeds and conveyances; King's letters; wills; commissions
for the survey, a]iportionnu'nt, and erection of counties; for
remedy of defective titles; for the ni>poiutment of Justices and

PREFACE. XXXI

Commissioners, as well civil as niilitaiy ; for the conversion
of lands held by the Irish custom of tanistry into the English
custom of tenure ; and on various other subjects.

The next class of records preserved in this office are the
Close Rolls. The oldest is one of the 20° Edward II. It
contains liberates, writs of various kinds, pardons of aliena-
tion, recognizances, deeds, and an article entitled " Staliiltim
de Ilihcniiar Those Rolls do not appear to have been con-
tinued in regular succession ; some occnr in the reigns of
Richard 11., Henry IV., Henry VI., Edward IV., Henry VII.,
Edward VI., Elizabeth, and Charles I. It is observable that
any distinction which might originally have existed between
the Close and Patent Rolls was discontinued in course of
time, although the name of the former was still preserved ; for
both species of Rolls contain matters of a similar kind, and
in no instance is there a Close and Patent Roll for the
same year, which, if they were meant to be distinct in their
nature, could not but in some instance have been the case ;
and as f;xr back as the books of reference to the Rolls extend,
the Close Rolls are referred to without any distinction between
the Patent Rolls and them.

The Statute Rolls, comprising both the public and private
Statutes passed in the Irish Parliament, commence in the
reign of Henry VI. They include the reigns of Henry VI.,
Edward IV., Richard HI., Henry VII., Henry VIII., Philip
and Mary, Elizabeth, and James I., and comprise forty-five
Rolls. They are without any calendar or index to the 11°
James I. From this period to 1715, the public and private
Acts being promiscuously enrolled together on the same
series of Rolls, an imperfect calendar was at that time made,
of both kinds of Acts; but from 1715 to 1800, inclusive,
when our Parliament ceased, the private Acts being enrolled
separately, there was a regular catalogue and index made to
those private Acts (but to the entire exclusion of all the
public Acts), which is in good order. The Statute Rolls,
prior to 10° Henry VII., are all in Norman-French, the then
legal as well as general language of the Court ; and as there
are printed Statutes long prior to the oldest Parliamentary

XXXU PREFACE.

Roll appearing here, some of the more ancient of those Rolls
must liave been lost. The late Record Commissioners stated
in their report, that they met with a MS. note, written about
the year lOS-l, in one of the old reference books in the office,
by which it appeared that a Parliamentary Roll of Edward
III., was then in the possession of the Lord Primate, Arch-
bishop Usher.

The Recognizance Rolls commence in the reign of Henry
VIII.; the latest is one of the 10° Charles I. They are about
twenty in number, and are, in general, in good preseryation ;
but as there is no index of any kind to them in the office, no
reference has been made to them for many years, and their
contents are almost entirely unknown.

The Rolls of Cromwell commence in 1653, and end in
1659. Tiiey contain some grants and charters, but mostly
deeds and other memoranda. They form 2)art of the series of
Patent Rolls,

The Decrees of the Court of Chancery, preserved here,
commence in the 24° Ilem-y VIII. There is a chasm in
those Rolls, from 1643 to 1655, owing to the suspension of
business by the dis.sensions in this kingdom during that
period. Thence, until the Restoration, there are Rolls of the
decrees and adjudications of the Commissioners for the ad-
ministration of Justice in Ireland. The decrees or certifi-
cates of the Commissioners appointed for executing the Acts
of Settlement and Explanation are separately preserved, and
are in very good condition.

The Convert Rolls connnence in 1703, and contain the enrol-
ments of bishops' and ministers' certificates to such persons as
had conformed to the Protestant religion. The bishops' certi-
ficates end in 1782, and the ministers' then begin, and continue
in regular succession to a late period. The bundles contain cer-
tificates from the Prothonotaries of the Superior Courts of Law,
and from other officers, before whom affidavits were made,
staling that every such person so confoi'ming had, within a
limited time (six months), received the Sacrament, and per-
formed the other legal requisites. Tiiose certificates commoiico
ill 170i), and end in 1781, and were filed in the Rolls" Office,

where tliey are now conveniently arranged and preserved, as
also the bishops' and ministers' certificates, which are likewise
kept in bundles.

The Roman Catholic Rolls, commencing in 1778, contain
the qualifications of Roman Catholics, and were made up and
prejmred by certain oflicers in the Courts of Exchequer, Queen's
Bench, and Common Pleas, and by the Clerks of the Peace,
who occasionally, as it suited their convenience, returned
them into this office, many of them in a state so obliterated,
obscure, and incorrect, that it is difficult to decipher the
names on them; here also are preserved the Rolls of qualifica-
tion of the forty-shilling freeholders, and Rolls of a similar
nature, pursuant to 10° George IV.

The Rolls and Pleadings of the Palatine Court of Tip-
perary contain leases of hinds from the Duke of Ormond, to
several lessees, commencing in 1703, and ending in 1714.
The pleadings contain bills and answers, filed in the Court
Palatine, commencing in 1662, and ending in 1714. Those
documents were deposited in this office pui'suant to an Act
of Parliament, passed in the 2° George I.

The Letters of Guardianship and Committeeship of Luna-
tics, under the present arrangement, commence in 1796, and
are kept in bundles, or upon files, and have an alphabetical
book of reference made to them, which is in good order.

The Fiats ai'e next in point of number and importance.
They comprise the original instruments under the Privy
Seal, directing Lettei's Paterit to he passed, and are authen-
ticated by the signature either of the Sovereign or of the
Lords Justices or Lord Deputy of the time. They com-
mence in the 21st year of Henry VIIL, and are continued
to the present time. They were all supposed to be enrolled
on the Patent Rolls, hut numerous instances occur where the
]iatent not being found on the Rolls, reference must be made
to the original Fiat, or in the event of the Roll being lost,
or in any portion illegible, the examination of the Fiat
serves to supply the deficiency ; those I'ecords, in consequence,
have always been considered of great value. They are pre-
served in large bundles, generally arranged according to the

years of the reign. To the reign of Elizabeth and James I.
there is an index noniinum, but none to tliose subsequent to
the latter date. Tliese instruments are of tlie more value,
considering that if aeeident liai)pen to an^' of the Patent
liolls, they can he replaced, in a great nieasui'e, by the Fiats.

An interesting and numerous class of records here ai"e the
Inquisitions //o.s/ murtim. Those records, which are very nume-
rous, and hi'ddv vaUiahlo in many respects, commence in the
reitrn of Elizabeth and extend to tiie Restoration, soon after
which they ceased. They were Uiken under Connnissions,
directed to the Escheators of each Province, and fonn<l on the
oaths of a jury what lands any person died seized of, by what
rentsand services they were held, who was the next lieir,and his
a^e, by which the right of the Crown to escheat or wardshij)
was ascertained. They are the best evidence of descents and
property, and the rights and privileges appendant to property,
during the period they embrace, and their findings often cou-
tMW transcripts of deeds, wills, and other legal instruments of
which there may be no other evidence existing. They thus
became the means, in many instances, of registering or per-
petuating deeds and other evidences anterior to the institu-
tion of the General Registry in 1708.

In<(uisitions on Att;iinder commence in the reign iif Eliza-
beth, and continue to the reign of William III., very few
being subseciuent thereto. They were hohlen under Connnis-
sions directeil like the former, and show whetlier any person
was attainted, in which case his lamls, wiiit-h also were found,
were seizeil into the King's hands.

Those Ini|uisiti<>ns are first cla.ssed into four provinces, and
then subdivideil into counties. They are carefully an<I cou-
veiiientlv preserved in suitable portfolios, and are ea.sy of
acces.s. Previous to their present arrangement they suHi-red
nnich from damp and want ol proper care, but further injury
from decay has been etlectually arrested by the means at pre-
sent adopted for their preservation. To illustrate the great
value of the.sc iin|><irt4int documents, inde|x>ndent of their
legal and historical value, it fremiently occurs that wlu-re.

a jiarticular patent, we can gonerallj- satisfy the inquiry
suggested, hv ret'erring to the Inquisitions of that particular
county, and to this extent tliey sup[)ly tlie want of the patent.

Here are also preserved the celebrated Inquisitions find-
ing the title of Charles I. to the province of Connaught;
they are called " Stratford's Inquisitions," having been taken
before that nobleman in the years 1636 and 1637. They
include all the lands in the province, and the names of the
teuant.s and holders thereof at the time, with the exception of
the county of Leitrim, of which county no Inquisition appears
to have been taken.

The oldest Transmiss of Public and Private Acts of Parlia-
ment preserved in this office is in the reign of Henry VII.
Thence they continue until the time of the Union. One
in the rei^n of Henry VIII. iirants the title of King of
Ireland to that Monarch. They are in good preservation,
but there is no list of them, or index of any kind. These
records, which had been previously preserved in the Parlia-
menfciry Office, were transferred to this office for preservation
at the time of the Union, by the directions of the late Lord
Chancellor Clare.

There are also remaining in the Rolls' Office sundry original
records, called " Miscellanea," which cannot be classed under
any of tlie previous heads. Tliey consist of surveys, charters,
rentals, patents, and other instruments, which may not now
be necessary to detail, but they are all, in common with the
Rolls and other records of the office, of value and interest,
and mv experience enables me, on all occasions, to consult
them without much difficulty.

Another class of interesting records here preserved are
roval presentations to ecclesiastical benefices, many of which
devolved to the Crown, by the 32° Henry VIII., many by
forfeiture, and many stated to be " per lapsum temporis,"
" devoluto jure," " vel quocunque alio modo," manifesting that
the Crown was anxious to perpetuate its title and to establish
proofs for succeeding genei"ations.

The MS. Book of Common Prayer, to which reference is
made by the Statute of Uniformity, was, before the Union,

XXXVI PREFACE.

jireservcd in tlie Irisli Parliament Office, and is now deposited
ill the Kolls Office; it is a folio vohunc containing 283
leaves. As doubts liave lieen expressed whether this manu-
script book is the one originally annexed to the Statute of
Uniformity, 17° & 18° Car. II., c. 6, it may be useful to ex-
j)lain that, in the reign of Charles II., the mode pursued for
enacting a Statute for Ireland was as follows : — the Bill passed
the Irish Parliament and was transmitted by the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland to England, in order to receive the assent
of the Lords and Commons in England, and then it was re-
turned by the King to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who,
upon its receipt, in consecjucnce of a writ to that etlect, went
down to the House of Lords and gave the royal assent. The
Statute was then de])osited in the Irish Parliament Office and
a copy sent to the RkIIs.

It is, however, extraordinary, that no copy cither of the
Rook of Common Praver belonging to the Enirlish Act of
Uniformity, or of that belonging to the Irish Act of Uni-
foriiiitv, was forwarded to the Rolls Chai)el in England, or to
the UdIIs OfKce in Ireland ; and it may also be remarked, that
of the calendar and tables annexed to Statute 24° George II.,
c. 23, no trace is to be found amongst the ]{olls at the Rolls
C'ha])el.

This MS. volume, which is attached U> the Act of Uni-
fiirmity, is the only original in existence, the MS. which was
attached to the English Act of Uniformity having been long
since lost. The English Prayer Books have been tjiken from
what were called " Sealed Rooks," that is, certitied copies of
the original. But in these sealed books were several uiistiikcs,
as appears by the original in the Rolls Office.

This MS. hits been printcl by the l-lcclesiastical History
Society ; and the editor (Archibald .lohn Stephens, Esij.,) con-
ceived that the only ]>rnpcr ]>lan for him to adopt was to give,
a.-! near as possible, a facsimile of the original, and thus not
to take upon him.self to ilecitle whether the alterations were
made before or after the enactment of the Statute, or lo sjiecu-
lato upon the words, letters, or punctuation which have been
oblitemted.

PREFACE. XXXVII

Auiiil tlie \-;ist accumulation of I'ecords and muniments
wliicli is to bo found in tlie archives of tliis country, none
justly stand in higher estimation than the Patent Rolls of
Cliancery, whether considered in respect to tlie antiquity,
utihty, or variety of tlie documents with which they abound.

To give effect to the royal j)leasure, when signiiied under
the sign manual, or by priv}- signet, in favour of any indivi-
dual or body politic or corj)orate, letters patent, specifying
the inducement, and defining the nature, extent, and tenure
of the grant, with the conditions and penalties annexed, were
directed to issue under the great seal of the kingdom.

The Patent Rolls (patentes) were those open grants from
the Crown, for they were open to the inspection of all, and so
called patent. The Close Rolls (clauses) were so called, because
they contained writs from the Crown, sealed and directed to
the officers by whom they were received, and to whom alone
they were open ; as also royal letters, obligations, recogni-
zances, deeds ; but it is to be observed, that any differences
which might have originally existed between the Close and
Patent Rolls was discontinued in the reign of Charles I.

The enrolment of these instruments was not reqiured by
law until the Statute of Chai'les rendered it imperative ; yet,
in times antecedent thereto, it was no unusual thing to insert
in the patent, a clause nullifying the grant, unless enrolled
within a given time; and, even in the absence of such provi-
sion, the patentees themselves had recourse, in most instances,
to this precaution, for their own security, and to avoid the
inconvenience, if not loss, resulting from neglect; for it some-
times occurred that the king was deceived in granting to one
subject what had been previously passed away from the
Crown in favour of another, no record existing of the previous
grant.

The Patent Rolls, although commencing with a Roll of
the tenth year of King Edward L, contain grants made by
King Henry II., by John, as well when Earl of Morton as
when king; by King Henry III. and King Edward I. With
the exception of the reigns of the first three Edwards, in
which some chasms exist, and a chasm in the reign of Henry

are pretty accurately written by Sir James Ware, and
some interesting evidences relating to it will be tiiund in
Kynier; and copious materials connected willi this i)eriod
of the English history of Ireland will be found in Lambeth
Library, in which are preser\ed the indentures and treaties
of peace between the Chief Governor and the Irish chief-
tains, letters, petitions, orders, instructions, journal-:, acts |of
council, submissions, imjuisitions, and other I\LSS., to the reign
of James I. Those records cover a period C)f time which,
of itself, speaks their autiiiuity; and, as regards the utility
and variety of them, whether the labours of the anti<|uary,
the objects of the historian, the pursuits of the legal jmicti-
tioncr, or the purposes of general inquiry are to be served ;
they may be best ex]ilained by the enumeration of the cha-
racter of the documents which have been previously det^jiled.
To explore these stores of information and unfold their
contents is the object, as far as it extends, of the jireseiit
work. Here the historian ami antiquary will find the letters
ami corresj)ondence of Henry VII I., Edward VI., Mary, and
Eli/jibeth with tlie Lord Deputy and the Irish Executive,
commending their zeal, summoning parlianu»nts, jiarcelling
out entire territories, incorporating towns, and eiuKibling the
meritorifius; conciliating the Irish chieftains, or, as tlu'v were
calleil, " Ca])tains of their nations," negociating with them for
tlie surrender of their territories, and enjoining their dtie
(ilK'dience and submission to the English rule, lauiruage, and
coslunie; treaties of peace and sidmiissions of the Irish chief-
tains. Tile great M'Carthy More, after ravaging the south,
comes "sans protection," before the Lord Depot v, describing

been most unworthily called unto, far greater tlian ever he, a
cursed creature, could have deserved, with bitter tears and
great compunction of mind, most humbly confesses, wliich the
more aggravates the enormity of his offences, and heaps upon
liim more abundantly her iMajesty's most just indignation,
tliat, being seduced by that pernicious rebel, Fitz-Maurice
and the Geraldines, forgetting his duty to God and lier
Majesty, he was, by subtle enticements and most wicked per-
suasions, induced to take a rash oath, which done, he entered
into that fuiy and madness of rebellion against his sovereign,
confederating with Butler and the rest of the rebels, whereby,
he swerved from his allegiance, by ti'aitorously raising her
Majesty's subjects, burning houses and castles, and -sundry
other grievous offences and heinous and detestable treasons
deserving extreme punishment and sharp correction ; which
as he could not justify or defend, so he, prostrate before the
Deputy and Council, with most penitent and humble mind,
freely submitted his life, goods, and lands to the disposition
of her Majesty, beseeching their lordships to have compassion
on him and intercede with her Majesty, that she would
vouchsafe to receive him, the most vile and unworthy wretch
of the creation, to her clemency and mercy ; and he under-
takes to pray to God to grant her Highness a most prosperous
and ha|>py reign, and that it would please Him to unveil his
eyes and grant him gi-ace to remain in her dutiful service,
which he now dedicates to her Majesty, to the last drop of
his blood."

Cavanagli undertakes to maintain the accustomed fiiirs in
his territory; and not permit any wicked, nefarious, or plun-
dering act to be committed at the pass, either by land or water ;
and will banish and repudiate all their idle men ; none of them
will ride armed, save the Captain ; and will not exact, beyond
the bounds of their own country, any exactions, " coyne,

favour and friendship, 100 fat cows, one good horse, or fifteen

The lawyer will find the economy of judicial proceedings
of Chancery at this remote period — the bill, answer, replica-
tion, rejoinder, decree, mandamus, and injunction, and, what
is indicative of the temper of the times, the removal of
suits to the decision of the Lord De]nity and Council, when
the petitioner was a))prehensive of a failure of justice in the
regions " without the Pale."

The defeat in the north of the chieftiiins, Shane O'Neil,
O'Donnell, O'Dogherty, and Maguire, in the reign of Eliza-
beth, allonled an opportunity of ))lantiiig that portion of the
country; Dcsmoml, in the south, liaviiig rushed to arms, was
overthrown, and his vast territoryconfiscated. In conse(|uence,
we find the patents rapiilly increasing, and assuming, for the
first time, a character of onler and precision commensurate
with the imi>rovemcnt of the jicriod, the facilities of English
communication, and the ilesire, by express and definite pro-
visions, to extir]>ate tlie ])re-exi.sting tenures of the Irish: lor-

and enjoining the inhabitants, in all modes and on all occa-
sions, to adopt the English habits, language, government,
rules and costume.

The inquirer into the state of the Chui'ch will find the
nomination of the bishops and clergy, the removal of the in-
competent, the establishment of the reformed faith, and the pro-
ceedings of the historian Bale, of whom the Queen, writing (after
his flight from his bishoprick) to Sentleger, says, " send over
the books and writings of Bale, a man that hath byn studious
in the serche for the history and antiquities of this our realme,
which he left behind him, in the tyme of our late sister Queue
Mary, when he was occasioned to depart out of Ireland, for
the illustration and setting forth of the ' stori/e' of this our
realme by him the said Bale."

In addition to all that had been done in relation to the pub-
lication of the English records, on the 26th of January, 1857,
the Master of the Rolls of England submitted to the Trea-
sury a proposal for the publication of materials for the history
of England from the Invasion of the Romans to the reign of
Henry VIII.

His Honor suggested that these materials should be selected
for publication under competent editors, without reference to
periodical or chronological arrangement, without mutilation
or abridgement ; preference being given, in the fii'st instance,
to such materials as were most scarce and valuable.

He proposed that each chronicle or historical document
to be edited should be treated in the same way as if the
editor were engaged on an editio princeps; and for this pur-
pose the most correct test should be formed from an accurate
collation of the best MSS.

To render the work more generally useful, the Master of
the Rolls suggested that the editor should give an account of
the MSS. in question ; that he should add to the work a brief
account of the life and times of the author, and any remarks
necessary to explain the clu^onology ; but no other note or
comment was to be allowed, except what might be necessary
to establish the correctness of the text.

The works to be published in octavo, separately, as they

d

xlii PREFACE.

were finished; the wliolo responsibility of the task resting
upon the editors, who were to be chosen by the Master oi
tlie Rolls, witli the sanction of tlie Treasury.

The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, after a careful con-
sideratitin of the subject, expressed their opinion in a Trea-
sury Minute, dated February 0, 18'>7, that the plan recom-
mended by the Master of the Rolls " was well calculated for
the acconi])lislMncnt of this national object, in an effectual and
satisfactory manner, within a reasonable time, and ])rovi(led
proper attention be paid to economy, in making the detailed
arrangements, without unnecessary expense."

They expressed their ajiprobation of the proposal that each
chronicle and historical document should be edited in such a
manner as to represent, with all possible correctness, the text
of each writer, derived from a collation of the best manuscripts.
They suggested, however, that the preface to each work
should contain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the
^Master of the Rolls, a biographical account of the autlior, so
far as authentic materials existed for that purpose, and an
estimate of his historical credibility and value.

In consequence of this decision, several most interesting
volumes have been already given to the public ; amongst
them, " Ro^-al and Historical Letters during the Reign
of Henry IV. ;" " Ilistoria Regis Ilenrici Sej>tinii a Ber-
narilo Andrea Theolosato Conscrij)ta, necnon alia quajdam
ad eundem Regem Spectantia ;" " Munimenta Gildhaliaj
Londoniensis ;" "Liber albiis, liber custumarum ot liber

relating to Ireland " dui-ing the period embraced by the fol-
lowing work, and to which it affords, in many instances, an
admirable clue and interpretation.

The Master of the Rolls of Ireland, solicitous for the publi-
cation of the Irish Records, following the example so success-
fully presented in the sister country, recommended to the
Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury the propriety
of printing and publishing calendars or repertories to the Patent,
Close, and Statute Rolls, and other important legal muniments
of this country, and their Lordships willingly acceded to his
Honor's suggestion. This work, therefore, undertaken by
their Lordships' authority, under the direction of the Master
of the Rolls, has for its object to rescue some part of the
most important of our national muniments from the com-
parative oblivion and obscurity in which, by reason of the diffi-
culty of access and the labour of research, they now lie in-
volved ; to facilitate the researches of persons engaged in his-
torical investigation and inquiry, and whatever light it may
throw on our public records, in directing either the pursuits
of the historian, the antiquary, or of the legal practitioner,
it is to the Government they must feel themselves indebted
for the encouragement afforded in exti'icating and evolving
their contents from technical phrases, wordy parentheses, and
legal forms of diction. It pui-ports to contain an abstract of
every instrument on the Rolls; condensed and translated into
English ; all abbreviations and contractions have been rejected;
all technical phraseology discarded. The purport of each docu-
ment has been minutely and accurately analyzed ; the sub-
stance of every important clause and provision extracted, and
the names of every person and place in each accurateh^ speci-
fied, with a view of rendering accessible to the public the
original MSS., obscured as they now are in obsolete languages
and modes of expression ; written in antiquated and nearly
unknown character, obscure and frequently illegible, rendered
more embarrassing by abbreviations, which frequently leave
the number, gender, or tense of a word difficult of ascer-
tainment; and which might, if not in time rescued fi-om obli-
vion, ultimately share the fate of the memorials of Babylon

xliv PREFACE.

01- Nincvcli, and like the Rosetta stone, depend for interpre-
fcition upon the chance discovery of some inffenious student.

The decayed state of many of these rolls interposed diffi-
culties in the execution of the work, but coiTesponding exer-
tion has been made, as it was thought desirable to rescue as
much as possible of these our early records from oblivion —
Si successus sajpe, labor certe nunquam, deficit.

In extenuation of the faults, from which I dare not hope
this work is free, I would plead, that in the performance of
this task, I have had to rely solely on my own resources,
at intervals snatched from the labours of official duties ; that
I have, to the best of my ability, faithfully rendered the
translation; and, grateful for the important trust reposed in
me, I have sought to compensate for my conscious imperfec-
tions by untiring zeal and industry.

commonly called the Cavenaghs. — Anthony St. Leger, scilicet.

"First, it is covenanted, ordained, and agreed to, that as the

Hen. VIII. territories of the manors au<l castles aforesai<l, so assigneJ, or who

had tlieni heretofore in possession, may he recompensed by the same,

as to the said commissioners may seem exi)edient.

" In like manner it is agreed that all those who have any
lands vacant and waste, and at present uncultivated, shall cultivate
and till the .simo lands within the space of a year, under jienalty of
forfeiting all said lanils for ever to the King.

"And lest any obstacle shall prevent the inhabiting and culti-
vating such land.s, on account of the poverty of the Lords of these
waste lands, our Lord the King will accommodate the needy with
certain moneys for buying horses and other necessary instruments
of culture, until such time as by the more abundant produce of their
lands they may be able to repay the same, provided they ple<lgc a
third part of their .said lands to the King's Majesty in security of
said repayment, as the custom of warranty runs, and is practised in
that country.

" It is agreed that after the Cavenaghs have made the I'.artitions
and divisions of lands amongst themselves, and eacli shall have been
im])artiallv apportioned to its possessor, then the Ue])uty and Council
shall, to the utmost of their power, endeavour to procure royal
letters patent to ccmtirm to each, and to their heirs, the said lands
for ever, after the custom of the English.

"It is agreed that all waste and unfruitful lamls shall bo exo-
nerated for three years from the impositions called " coyne and
ly verve," carriage, and such like exactions, for the better occupation
and cultivation of those lands.

" Further it is agreed that the lardshijis of St. M<dyns shall
be committed to the custody and care of Caher, son of Art, to bo
held without any division or partition to be made therein between
liis kinsmen, these conditions being added, namely : That he shall
reasonably maintain the accustomed fairs there, and build himself
a house or mansion there, and inhabit it. And he shall not jier-
mit any wicked, nefarious, or plundering act to be committed at
the j)ass there, or in other parts adjacent thereto, neither by land
or by water, under penalty of forfeiture of the Lordship to our
Lord the King for ever.

" It is agreed that the King shall have the particular land
called '■'■ le (JiKirlyllj^ a.nt\ all the lands lying between Carlow and
Leighlin, with a castle there in Idrone, as the said commissioners
may limit, bound, and assign.

" Further it is agreed that the Cavenaghs shall banish, repudiate,
and excluile all their i<llc men. And that no one of them for the
future shall ride armed, save only any captain or oflicer of the
<?npwn fur the time beintr, undi'r penally of fnrfeiting the arms.
And thai it shall be lawful a.s well fur the captain of <iiir Lord the

those which each of them may keep in their own houses.

" For the performance of these articles on the part of the Cavc-
nairhs the said Cahir son of Art gave a pledge, until his son Gerald
shall be given as a hostage. And Cahir M'Innycrosse and Gerald
Sutton are similarly bound to performance of the premises under
penalty of forfeiting their lands, together with Art M'Donnogh.

"And thereupon the Lord Deputy and Council promise for the
performance of these articles to intercede with the King; so that if
it shall be his Majesty's will, these premises shall then be ratified.

apparent that the monasteries, abbies, priories, and other places
of religious or regulars in Ireland, are at present in such a state
that in them the praise of God and the welfare of man are next to
nothing regarded ; the regulars and nuns dwelling there being
so addicted, partly to their own superstitious ceremonies, partly to
the pernicious worship of idols, and to the pestiferous doctrines of
the Romish pontifl', that, unless an effectual remedy be promptly
provided, not only the weak lower order, but the whole Irish people,
may be speedily infected, to their total destruction, by the example
of these persons ;" to prevent, therefore, the longer continuance of
such religious men and nuns in so damnable a state, the King, (having
resolved to resume into his hands all the monasteries and religious
houses, for their better reformation, to remove from them the
religious men and women, and to cause them to return to some
honest mode of living, and to the true religion,) directs the commis-
sioners to signify this his intention to the heads of the religious
houses; to receive their resignations and surrenders willingly ten-
dei-ed ; to grant to those tendering it liberty of exchanging their
habit and of accepting benefices under the King's authority, to
apprehend and punish such as adhere to the usurped authority
of the Romish pontiff, and contumaciously refuse to surrender their
houses : to take charge, for the King's use, of the possessions of

willingly surrender. — April 7, 30°.

Henry VIII., by Thomas Fitz-William, of Baggotratb, respecting
the title of tbe lands which the Lady Margaret Jenyco, late wife of
John Dowdall, possessed in Ireland, of whom tbe said Thomas claims
to be heir. Sir Walter being sworn, states " that be thought it meri-
torious to tell tbe whole truth in tbe matter, whereby tbe right and
title in that behalf might come to light; that at a certain time Sir
Maurice Eustace, Dame Joban, his wife ; Sir John Pluuket, and
Dame Maude, bis wife ; the said Sir Walter, and Dame Janet, bis
wife ; daughters of Dame Margaret Jenico ; and Thomas Fitz-
William, of Baggotratb, repaired together to tbe bouse of one
William Godynge, to search up certain evidences concerning Dame

II

34 Margaret Jcnico's laiuls ; and after tliey had searched a -while, Sir
Hen. VIII. Maurice Eustace, being practised and Icrned in the law, perceiving

a certain suit of deeds, whereby the said Danio Margaret made a

Buertie of all her said lands to herself and John Dowdall, he secretly
conveyed the said suit of deeds with him, and so iinnictliately all
they departed ; and forthwith they went together to Sir Walter's
chamber, in the Gray Friers, besides the city of Dublin ; and as
goon as they came there, Sir Maurice said that he had found a thing
in the chest that did make very much for their purpose; and asking
him what it was, he replied, "a suit of deeds," whereby Dame
Margaret Jenico made a suertie of all her lands to herself and her
heirs, which deeds if the said Thomas Fitz-Williani had, he would,
in right of Elenor, his wife, take all the said lands from them.
Whereupon Dame Johan answering, said it were better, they all
being sisters, should inherit and have the lands as heirs to Dame
Margaret, their mother, than that Elenor, their sister, should have
them; whereupon they concluded forthwith to burn the suit of
deeds ; and Sir Walter would not in anywise consent thereto, but
desired them to keep the deeds secret ; and so upon this communica-
tion betwixt them, the bell in the church began to knoll to " sacryng"
of mass, and Sir Walter departed, and went to byre masse ; and so he
being absent, Sir Maurice, Dame Johan, S. John, Dame Maude, and
Dame Jenet, immediately called for a fagot to the chimney, and being
brought unto them, was put afyrc; and forthwith, according to their
conclusion, burnt all the deeds, lest they at any time might come to
light, of which the said Dame Jenet informed Sir Walter imme-
diately after he heard mass and came to his chamber, wherewith he
expressed great sorrow and discontentment ; and the next Lent Sii
Walter and his wife, being sore moved in their conscience, went to
a Frier of the house of Gray Friers to shryfte, and declared the
whole matter to him, who required and counsailed Sir Walter and
Dame Jenet, in discharge of their conscience afore God, to manifest
and declare the truth unto them that rightfully was entitled and
ought to have the said evidence and land. Whereupon Sir Walter,
being in estimation and favor with the Erie of Kildare, perceiving
that Richard Fitz-William was his kinsman and servant, moved him
of the circumstance, and desired him to sj)eak to Fitz William to
bring the matter to pass after such sortc that he Richard should
make Sir Walter and Dame Jenet sure of the saiil lands. Where-
upon the Earl, Sir Walter, and Dame Jenet, handled the matter of
the embezzling and burning of the deeds, so that the said Richard
made a surety unto Sir Walter, and wife, of such portion of Danio
Margaret's lands, which was at that time in Sir Walter's j)ossession ;
and Sir Walter further deposed that Dame Jenet, his wife, long
afore this time, in presence of the said Earl, did on oath depose and
testify the full effect and force of the contents of the testimonial to
bo true. Whereupon there was an instrument maile thereof, sub-
scribed by the said Earl, his hand ; all which Sir Walter, in dis-
charge of his conscience before God, <leposes and testifies to bo true
by the holy contents of his oath ." — No date.

73. King's letter addressed to the Lord Deputy and Council, in
which the King disapproves of the view of the revenue and charges
transmitted to him as imperfect, and requires another more full and
accurate ; complains that although the Vice-Treasurer could not
certainly affirm what should grow yearly out of the liveries and
wards, of first-fruits, of tho profits of the Hanaper, and of tributes
and fines, yet he might have declared what grew of the same last
year and the year before, so that his Grace might have given some
guess what might have been hoped and looked for hereafter, and what
miglit be done concerning those lands, of which his Majesty has as
yet received little profit ; for if any profit at all had been taken, the
same might have been entered for a year, two, or three, that he might
have seen how it had been from year to year augmented or when
lightened; informs them that he sends by the bearer, George Cariey,
£2461 I2S. towards the payment of the garrison ; prays the Deputy
to have regard to the employment thereof, and when the " view"
should be received "his Grace would provide such further furniture
of money as should be requisite; inquires what is the value of the
lands of Claneboye, and whether it would be expedient to grant them
to Neill Connelaghe, nephew of the Earl of Tyrone, agreeably to the
petition of the said Neill ; and instructs the Lord Deputy to assure
Neyle that, doing his duty as be hath done, the King would extend
his grace and favour in such sort towards him as should be both to
his honor and profit ; specifies the wages of George Carey, and that
he should have two horsemen able to serve, and ready at the com-
mandment of the Deputy ; orders that special regard be had, not
only to the port towns of Ulster, but to all other port towns and
good havens in the kingdome, in whose hands soever they be, and
that the Deputy should do what he could to get them into his Ma-
jesty's hands, for it was not convenient for any one to keep the ports
but the King ; and as for the charges, he doubts not but with good
foresight and husband they would not be so great but they might
be borne ; and as his Grace held this matter much to heart, he
directs the Deputy substantially to consider what the charges would
be to put and keep all the principal ports in the King's hands
and custody ; and directs some " platts" of all the principal ports,
and that his Grace may see their form, with a special advertisement,
what strangers trade there, and at what time and seasons of the year
they haunt the same, which point must be handled most secretly.
His Grace sends the Act for the subsidy and for his Majesty's

Goldsmith should have the room of Clerk of the Council, and at the
suit of the Karl of Tyrone he pardons Nicholas Bagnold, not doubt-
ing but that he would hereafter use himself as appertaineth. Finally,
the Lord Deputy should understand that his Majesty had licensed
John Brereton, one of his Captains, to repair to England for two
months, and that a jjrojior person should have the charge of the men
under him during his absence, and pay his wages notwithstanding
Lis absence. His Majesty also sends two seals, graven willi his full

that you being always ready to aiil and assist our Deputy with 3'onr
advices and outlier ways, and agreeing all in one concorde, all pri-

and see done what may tend to Goddo's honour, and to the surety

please God, but also minister unto us gooil occasion not to forget
your good services; and, besides, by your examjile, encourage outliers
to lyve in the more cpiiet and conformyty.

with all fees, profits, and commodities thereunto belonging ; which

office of Master of the Rolls our pleasure is, that you, our Deputy,
shall cause to be made in due form, and our Chancellor for the time
shall by warrant hereof seall, or cause to be sealed under our greate
seall of that realme.

" Likewise, having had veraye good report of the good discretion,
gravitye, and learninge of John Bath, we have appointed him to be
our Sergeant-at-Law in that our realm ; To have and to hold to him
in lyke sorte, and with lyke fees, commodities, and assurance as
others our Sergeants-at-Law have had the same in times past.

" And where certain forts be all ready begon in som towardes forti-
fication in our countries of Lex and Offixly, our pleasure is that you,
our Deputy, shall boeth cause the same surely to be guarded and also

to eate fleshe at all times forbidden : any statute, lawe, or custome
to the contrary notwithstanding.

their owne wages than outhers the capitains of our olde garrisons
have or do receive, but also have sondry double paies for drums,
fyphes, and outher officers, otherwise than the said ordinary gar-
risons have been wont to have; and considering that these diversi-
ties of paies to men of equal sorts and havior is occasion of much
strife and contention, our pleasure is that you shall travaill by all
such good and quiet means as you may, to reduce all the double
paies to that onely order that ys and hath byn used among men of
warr of our old garrison there, forseinge that to som such capitains,
as for their well-doings you shall think good, the same entertain-
ment be continued for their own times only that they have custora-
ably received sithens their placing there.

" We think also expedient that you, with the advice of our Coun-
seill, cause a Parliament of the Lords and Comons to be summoned
againste such time as you shall think good, wherein you may de-
liberately consult with them upon such weaghty affaires of that our
realm as to you may seem requisite."

" We have likewise been informed that ourderest father did appoint
an yearly living by the weke for 13 poor men such as shall be Lamed
or made unable to worke in his service, that the same sithens the
death of our father ys discontinued ; wherefore we, minding that

Church is a meet and sure place for the safe guard and custody of
said records and muniments near unto said courts, whereunto his
Majesty's said officers having charge, and others, his Highness'
subjects, upon honest occasion, may from time to time conveniently
resort ; we order and appoint that the said late library be the place
for the safe keeping of such of the said records and muniments as
shall be kept out of the said tower of his Highness's said Castle of
Dublin ; and all such of the said records and muniments as shall be
out of the said tower shall be put and safely kept in the said librai-y ;
and that you, the Clerk of the Hanaper of his Majesty's Chancery

vided, furnished, and made, as well in and for said library as the

ordering of the said records and muniments from time to time.
And this our order, with your account of your disbursements about
the same, upon your account of revenues and profits coming and
growing of his Highness' said Hanaper, to be made before the

sufficient warrant and discharge in that behalf."

A contemporary historian thus describes the Irish troops: —
" The Irish observe divers degrees, according to which each man is regarded ;
the basest sort amoni^t tliem are little young wags, called Diilthis: these are
lackevs, and are scrvii-cable to the grooms or horseboys, who are a degree above
the Ualtins. Of the thinl degree is the Kern, who is an ordinary soldier, using
for weapon his sword and target, and sometimes his piece, being commonly so good
marksmen as tbey will come within a score of a great castle; Kent signitieth, as
noblemen i^f great judgment infnrmed n\e, a shower of hell, because they are taken
for no better than Unkehdls, or the Devil's blaguards. The fourth degree is tho
Galloglass. tising a kind of pidlard for his weapon ; these men are commonly way-
ward, rathi-r l)v professinn than by nature; grim of coimtenanee, tall of stature,
big of limb, burly nf bmly, well and strongly linibiTi'il, i-hielly feeding on beef,
pork, ami butter. The fifth degree is to be an h'lrseman, which is the chiefe.st
next the Lord and Captain ; these horsemen, when they have no stay of their own,
gad and range from bousi' to himse, like errant Knights of the liound Table, and
they never dismount 'till they ride into the hall and as far as the t.ilile. There is

among them a brulberl d of Kiirrour.i, that jjroll'er to |i|ay at cards all the year

long, anil make it their mily occupation; they play away mantle and all to the
bare skin, ami then Iru^s tliemselvi's in straw or leaves; they wait for passengers
on the bighwav. invite tln'in to game upon the green, and ask no more than com-
panion) to make them s|iorl ; for default of other stuff they pawn their glib.s,
their fiiigt'rs and tiies, which they lose or redeem at the courtesy of the winner.
One ollico in the house of a nobleman is n tale-teller, who bringpth his lord asleep,
with tales, frivolous and vain, whereunto tho number give sooth aiid credit."

Ye shall understand that like as we be well pleased to consider the

wealth of our said realme, and the commodity of other our loving
subjects inhabiting the same, so, nevertheless, being informed that
heretofore, under color of like pretences, divers men of honest
service have been displaced and put from their livings which they
had worthily obtained ; and meaning, both now in this case and
henceforth also in all other the like, to avoid this inconvenience as
much as in us lieth, our vvill and pleasure is, that ye shall make
diligent enquiry in whose hands and occupation the parcels of lands,
tenements, and hereditaments before mentioned do presently remain ;
and in case the same, or any parcel thereof, be either unleased or al-
ready in the possession of such of the afore-named persons as requireth
the same, or else in the occupation of any such other as having for
his or their offence deserved to forfeit the same, shall not be thought
fit to be reconciled and restored thereto, we will, in that case, that
of such of the said lands, tenements, and other hereditaments before
remembered as be thus clear, ye shall make several leases unto
such of the before-named persons as do require the same, for the term
of 21 years, yielding and paying unto us such rent or rents as have
been heretofore reserved unto us by the best survey ; and if
any of the said lands shall appear unto you to be already in the
occupation of other persons of service, so as the partie that pre-
sently requireth the same cannot, by virtue of this order, have a
lease thereof, then our pleasure is, that you shall cause such of the
said persons as by reason thereof cannot enjoy this our grant to be
otherwise recompensed with the lease for such number of years,
and in form aforesaid, of some such other thing, as, being unoccupied
by others, may be answerable to the goodness of that he now de-
sireth.

of our Exchequer, hath the occupation of certain farms, heretofore
granted by lease, for certain years yet to come, our pleasure is, that,
taking a surrender of the lease that he hath of the same farms, ye
shall make out a new lease unto him of the farms now in his pos-
session, for 21 years.

Sir Gerald Aylmer, Chief Justice of his Grace's Bench, to be Lords
Justices, and to have the charge and government of the realm ; by
virtue whereof, and upon the election of the lords and nobility,
according to antient custom, they were sworn the 4th of December,

Man-, their cliar^'cs sustained in that behalf, by her Grace's letters, hither
directed, dated 14th December last, willed us to appoint such
allowances to the same Justices as we should think meet; where-
upon pondering as well her Majesty's pleasure as tlie travail,
care, and pains of the said Sir Thomas Gusakc, besides the extreme
charges sustaine<l by him, for which, as appeared by divers evident
circumstances, he is much indebted to sundry persons who lent him
several sums of money for his furniture in the said otlice ; and as it
also appeared unto us that others here, in the same room and ottico
heretofore were allowed one hundred marks monthly, their burthen
not being then so onerous and chargeable ; it is condescended and
agreed by us, the Lord Deputy and Council, that the same Sir
Thomas, shall have, by way of reward and in recompense towards
liis charges, which were little in comj)arison of his other pains, the
sum of £200 sterling ; and for that also it a|)]5earetli by declaration
of such money as Sir Thomas, in the same olfice, laid out in rewards
and recompense of service done by ilivers irentlemen and captains
of this country, and sithcns his departure that he <Iefrayo(l to his
Majesty's use the sum of £1,076, which, in respect of the time,
and as occasion then enforced, we think reasonable to be allowed ;
it is therefore condescended and agreed by us, that the said Sir
Thomas Cusake shall have the said sum of £1,076 to him allowed,
which he shall receive of such treasure as shall grow of her Majesty's
revenue here, so as his creditors, of whom he hath borrowed the
money, both for his own furniture and the service of her Majesty,
may be contented and i)aid ; willing and requiring the Treasurer at
AVar to satisfy the several sums of money to the said Sir Thomas
and Sir Gerald Ayluier, amounting in the whole to £1,276 sterling."

as an augmentation to the community of the said chapter, the
church of St. Nicholas Within, which his predecessor, John, of
blessed memory, confirmed to the church, and which Gilbert Comen
held, paying thereout yearly one pound of wax to the chapter on
St. Patrick's day by way of pension : And also reciting a charter of
Edward IV., formerly King of England, who stated, that his noble
ancestors, with great devotion, bounty, and abundance, for the en-
crease of divine worship, endowed the said college with 24 cathedral
canons and ministers ; of whom a dean, precentor, chaucellor, aud
treasurer, as the pillars and columns of said college, were given the
rule, each according to his station ; and two archdeacons, to wit,
the Archdeacons of Dublin and Glandelagh, as well to assist the
archbishop for the time being and his deacons in divine service, as
to support his jurisdiction in his diocese. But after lapse of time,
by the continual warfare of Irish enemies aud English rebels, the
benefits and profits of the prccentorship and chancellorship of the
college and of the Archdeacon of Glendalagli — being the 2nd, 4th,
and 6th greatest dignities in the college and church next the dean —
became of such small value that they could not support the precen-
tor, treasurer, and archdeacon of Glandelagh, agreeably to divine
worship, hospitality, and other things, according to the foundation
and to the degrees of those benefices, without some remedy being
provided; upon which the archbishop united and appropriated
one part of the fruits and profits of the rectory and prebend of Lusk
on the part of the precentor to the said chauntry or precentorship,
and the other part, on the part of the dean, to the treasurership of
the church, and the rectory of Newcastle, iu Lyons, with its appur-
tenances, to the archdeacon of Glandelagh, and their lawful successors,
for ever ; to enter and occupy them at the next vacancy, according to
the form aforesaid; by which union, appropriation, and consolidation,
the number of persons of the college would not be diminished, because
the church of Kilmatalway, the church of St. Audeon's, Dublin, and
the church of St. Patrick's, Wicklow, were created and incorporated
into three canonical prebends in the college to supply the number
of persons appointed upon the first foumlation : And reciting, that

entire site, foundation, circuit, ambite, and precinct thereof, and all
its manors, lordships, and possessions, on the eighth day of January,

tiie King, as their deed, to be enrolled in the Rolls of the Court of

the prise wines of Irclaiiil, and being so seized was wrongfully dc-
foiccd l)y the inliabitaiits of Ross, wlio, appearing liy their attorney,
answered that there was no record of any grant by the Crown, and
if there were, that nothing jiassed thcrcliy; whereupon issue being
joined, the ritizens showe<l that in the time of Edward I. one Koger
Bygot, Earl ot Nortlifolk, and Lord Marshal of Ireland, was Lord of
Ross, and of all theeounty of Wexford, and had there "jura regalia;"
tliat he ineorporated the town, and endowed it with such liberties
and freedoms as the town of Wexford ; that Wexford had been
always free of prisage; and after Bygot's death, whilst one Adaniarus,
of Valentia, Lord of Ross, had regal jurisdiction, one Beresford, ap-
pointed Robert Russell to take the prise wines at Ross for the King,
presuming his Majesty was so entitled, having prisage in most other
haven towns in the kingdom ; for redress of which Adaniarus and
the Commons of Ross made iinmble supplication to Edward IL,
who directed a commission to John Wogan, Lord Justice, to enquire
whether the King or any of his ancestors ever took prisage at Ross
or not, and to certify the truth thereof to the Parliament held at
AVestminster within three weeks from the Feast of Saint Michael ;
whereupon William Bourkc, Lieutenant of theLord Justice,summoncd
a jury of 22 men, of several shires and places, to assemble at Dublin,
who found u])on their oaths that neither the King norany of his pro-
genitors ever took any prise wines or gauging of wines at Rosse,
b>it such as Russell lately usurjied by force of Bercsford's com-
mission, and that neither the Lord Marshall nor any of his ances-
tors ever took prise wines there ; accordingly, the King ordering
Russell to surcease the taking of the wines, tiie inhal)itants became
<|ui(tly discharged of the jiremises without vexation or disturbance,
until within 20 years last past, when they were disturbed by the
Earl of Ormond uiuler colour of a grant to one of his ancestors ;
there was proijuced also, in maintenance of the issue for Ross, an
Act of Parliament passed at Drogheda in the time of Edwanl IIL,
which confirmed for ever all the liberties and privileges of the town,
and granted the inhabitants all such customs and commodities as the
inhabitants of Walerfonl enjoyed, as well by sea as land, witiiapro-
vi,--o that the citizens of Ross should take no prise wines but of ships
wiiich discharged at their port. On consideration of the jiremlscs,
and as the Earl could not deny the title of the Corporation, nor could
show any thing nuiterial imt the grant of Edwanl L, which only took
effect where prise wines were at that time due, it was oniered by
the Lord Deputy and Council, that the Sovereign, Portrieve, iJur-
ges-sos, and Commons, and their successors, should be exonerated ami
acquitted of the prise wines against the Earl and his heirs for ever.

Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, Treasurer at War ami Receiver of the '^'"O-
Revenues, and to Valentine Browne. — Dec. 12, 1°.

1st. "You shall with all convenient speed pass into the kingdom of
Ireland, and shall there have all such ordinary fees and allowances
as Sir William Brabazoii, or else to be liberally considereil by our
Council, and have 40 footmen in wages at gd. a day, ten of them
to be without check : and upon your arrival you shall receive our
treasure, to wit, the £20,000 in harps lately sent there by Sir Anthony
Sentleger."'

2nd. " It is our pleasure that you shall have the occupation of the
ship called the ' Barque of Bolloigue,' now riding at Chester, with
all the ordnance, tackle, and munition, Vielonging to her, indenting
with the mayor of that city for receipt of the ship according to the
purport of the letters which we have addressed to him, you paying
yearly unto us £40 for the use of the ship, giving security for its
due payment, and that you will keep her in good state and repair."

3rd. " We have appointed you to our Privy Council ; and our plea-
sure is, that in consultation upon every petition you shall consider the
reason and weigh well the cause of every allowance, and if the same
shall not seem to you grounded upon sufficient matter, to show your
dissent therein ; and yet, nevertheless, to pay the sum allowed by
concordatum, and keep a special note to be afterwards particularly
opened to us or the Council about our person ; you shall not make
any payment of our treasure but upon good and sufficient warrants,
wherein you shall have special rcijard that they shall be in deed
sufficient, or else to stay the payment ; ami as many things appear to
you doubtful and suspicious concerning the doings of Andrew Wyse,
late Vice-Treasurer, and Thomas Tenisone, Auditor, it is thought
by the Lords of our Council by the report, the confession, and books
of the said Thomas and Andrew, that the}- should be removed from
their office, and an exact and due trial and examination should be
had, by inspection and perusal of the records, the original warrants,
writings, accounts, charges, and discharges, since the 30° of our dear
father until the 6° of Edward VI., and by examination of witnesses ;
which is the principal cause of our sending you thither ; you shall
advance and emj)loy yourself with all your cunning, wit, and dili-
gence, and you shall have the aid of our Deputy and Council, and
access to all our records and writings necessary for the advancement
of our service and pleasure in this behalf."

" And our pleasure is also that you the said Valentine shall en-
deavour, during your abode there, and specially at your first arrival,
to make a perfect book of all our revenues, and of all debts and monies
due us, to the intent that the same may be the more speedily and
truly answered and contented unto us; you shall deliver the same
book to Sir Edmond Bouse, with the privity of our Deputy and
Council ; you shall receive our revenues and other duties due

Phaip »nd i^^^ J view of the accounts of the said Andrew TS ise, hy his
^"T- deputy, so far as he ?hall and can declare the same, and yi u shall
take the accounts of the rictuallers and other officers and ministers
there accountable, both ordinary and extraordinary, and enquire
and £ret perfect knowledge, by what reason and means, or by whose
default our victuals and provisi >ns, which stood our brother in
£14.000, were uttered so much to our loss; giving you authority by
these presents to commit to ward, in our Castle of Dublin, any
disobedient accountant, minister, or other inferior person, without
bail or mainprise, until such time as you shall think convenient to
release them; and if, by reason of greater charges than are men-
tioned in your report and declaration lately eihibite<l unto us, as
transportation and conduct money for soldiers homewards, and the
diets of the Lord Justice during the absence of the Deputy, and
other charges growing since the last of October, our treasure now
sent over be not sufficient to defray the whole charge, our pleasure
is. that then our honest merchants inhabiting in that realm, to whom
money is due, shall honestly be travailed with, and induced by gentle
means to forbear the same, and they are to remain unpaid for a time,
that is to sav. until Midsummer, assuring them that upon certifi'-ate

appertainetli, specially in your own countries, rules, and offices, and Philip and
namely, such laws as are and shall now be provided for the advance- Marj'-
rueut of counnou justice, by means whereof intinitc mischiefs and the
most perilous combination of seditious persons, which hath chiefly
impoverished and brought all calamity to that reahn, shall cease;
the practice of horrible murders custoraably perpetrated shall be
met with, and by terror of punishment will not be so easy to bo
compassed. The Scotts also shall be discouraged to seek habitation
there, and finally, lewd men and idle persons shall not follow, and
bear themselves one bold of another. And especially we require
you to be aiding, assisting, and helping our Deputy and ministers
in the recovery of our rights, and the other things to us belonging',
■without colouring, or bearing directly or indirectly, with such as
withhold aud withdraw the same, of which number there be divers,
as we be informed. And like as our good hope is, that this our re-
quest, exortation, and admonition, shall be considered aud take
some good eflect amongst you accordingly, being indeed the benefit
thereof your own, which is the thing that we chiefly mind aud seek,
and shall remember to thank all such as so consider, to the comfort
of them and their posterity in their reasonable suits ; so if we shall
hear the contrary, as we trust not, it would be dolorous to us, aud
give occasion of doing that which of nature, we thank God, we are
nothing inclined unto, not doubting but that our Deputy will in the
premises, and in all cases oi our defence, so diligently and honourably
bear himself, that you shall praise, and not mislike. Letting you
further to wit, that like as his wise and diligent doings in this be-
ginning do merit great praise and commendation, so we will not
fail in such manner to provide, from time to time, for his sufficient
and necessary furniture and " mayteninge" in his charge there as
the same, with our force and authority, shall be (God willing) a
surety for the good, and to the ill a plague and contiuual terror.
Wherefore, most reverend fathers, right trusty and right well be-
loved, we require you well to weigh and consider this our pleasure,
desire, and determination, as we shall specially trust you, and as you
tender God's glory and honour and the common weal, with the pros-
perity and doings of j'ourselves and your posterity. Given under
our signet at Greenwich, FkI. 4, 3° & 4°."

panions. He founded the Priorj' in 1183, for monks whom he brought from Corn-
wall ; and his sons, William and .John, gave charters to the inhabitants constituting
the place a free borough. The town afterwards passed into the De Bermingham
family, and was burned by William De Bermingham in 1252, during a dispute with
the St. Anbans. Edward Bruce occupied it for a short time in 1316, and in 1327
it was again burned by the De Berminghams. In the early part of the fourteenth
centur\", the barony was gi-anted to Sir Eusta<-e le Poer. Roger Jlortimer, Earl of
March, wa-> killed here in 1398 by the CJ'Bynies, whom he had pursued from their
country- in Wicklow. The Priory, with some of its possessions, was granted at the
dissolution to the Earl of Ormond ; the property still remains in the possession of
the Omiond family. The prior was a Lord of Parliament, and the Prion" of Tidle-
lash was under his authority. .Six towers and the curtain walls remain in great
preservation ; and the ruins, including the castle, priory, and court-yards, occupy
10 acres.

' On the Memoranda KoU of the Exchequer (Rot. Mem. 6° Henry Till. m. 15), is
cnrollfii a charter of WiUiam Marcschall, Earl of Pembroke, who in the reign of Henry
III. (supposed to be of tlieycar 1223), with theassent of hiswife Isabella, givanted to
his burgesses of Kilkenny all liberties ivhieh it became biu'gesses to have, and him
to confer : that no burgess should be drawn into a cause, or answer of any plea,
arising within the metes of the borough, in the castle or elsewhere, save in the
hundred of the town, except pleas which were of men of his household, or his bai-
litfs ; that the burgesses should be quit of toll, lastage, passage, and pontage, and
of all customs throughout his whole land and power ; that they might distrain then'
debtors by their distresses found in the town ; that no foreign merchant should sell
cloth by retail, or keep a wine shop, save for forty days ; that no burgess be dis-
trained in his land or power for another man's debt, imless he be a pledge or prin-
cipal debtor ; that they shoiUd hiive a guild merchant and other guilds; that the
burgesses might make their tenants free by twenty feet of land, so that they, the
tenants, should have common liberty with the burgesses ; that they should hold their
burgages, with the appurtenances, for the rent which Geott'ry Fitz-Robert appointed,
namely, I7(l. annually.

There is extant another charter of the same Earl, on the same roll, granting
further privileges, dated at Kilkenny, 5th of April, in the seventh year of the reign
of King Henry III. On the Close Roll 8" Edward III. is a pavnge charter for
seven years; and in the forty-ninth year of Edward III. (ist .'nly, 1375), there is
a murage, pavage, and pontage grant of numerous tolls therein mentioned, to the
sovereign and commonalty for seven years. On the Patent Kidl, 4° Richard II.,
m. 5, is a vrrit directed to the bailiffs of the city of Waterford, setting forth that
the sovereign and commonalty of the townis of Kilkenny and Callau had shown that
these towns were parcels of the lordship of the Earl of Gloucester ; and altliough all
merchants and others sojoiu-ning and residing within the lordship, should be free
and quit both in the city of Loudon and elsewhere, and were quit from paying any
customs and murage for buying and selling their merchandise in Ireland, neverthe-
less the baiUffs of Waterford often unjustly distrained the merchants of the said
towns ; the king commanded them that they should not molest in anywise, or oppress
the same sovereigns and commonalties contrary to the tenor of their liberties.

On the Memoranda Roll, 6° Henry A^III., m. 15, is a charter of Richard II. who
states that he had inspected certain charters which William Mareschal had caused
to be made to his burgesses of Kilkenny, one of which (5th April, 7° Heniy III.),
states that the burgesses claimed large and extensive privileges, which are therein
set forth at considerable length, and concludes by the king ratifying and confirming
the said charters, and gi-anting to the burges.~es that, although they had not fully used
the liberties contained in their charters, and the other privileges and customs therein
menti<med, nevertheless they, their heirs and successors, burgesses of the said town,
might fully use and enjoy them. This charter was afterwards again inspected and
confirmed by letters patent, 13 Richard II,

There is a further murage grant for 20 years, Rot, Pat, 7° Henry V,, part i, m,

privileges were again confirmed by letters jtatent, 28th November. 5° Henry VI.,

of the disquictness of the country, could never bo well answered." —

that Hugh Bradie, Bisliop of Meatli, was most fit to succeed to the Archbishopriek
of Dublin, commending his good preaching, his grave judgment, exempl.ir.- life,
and hospitality. In September folloiving the Bishop wrote to Cecil, complaining of

Elizabct'i. own country J he shall send for the Countess, his wife, and. such

others of his country as the Lord Lieutenant should think proper to

ho hounil for the i)erl'orn)ance of these conditions. Touching the
controversy between hini and the Earl of Oriiiond, whereby thn
countries under their rule have been disordere<l, wasted, and spoiled
in their private quarrels, arising for titles of lands, liberties, and
such like, they arc ordered to attend her Majesty and the Council
in England for their decision. Her Majesty directs that the prize
wines of Youghal and Kynsale, claimed by Ormond, should be
sequestered from both the said Earls till niidsnninier, and, in the
meantime, the Earl of Desmond should show his title thereto, ac-
cording to the course of the law, and the Earl of Ormond answer
the claim if he should see occasion. The controversy for the pos-
session of Kilfekyle, should be heard by the Commissioners, and if
the Earl of Ormond had entered by force into the house, the Earl
of Desmond should be restoreil to the possession. The Earl of
Ormond should have the royalties and liberties of Tippcrary, accord-
ing to the judgment of the two Chief Justices, Sir llobert Catlin and
Sir James Dyer, to whom her Majesty had referred the decision of
the case. Conunissioners should be appointed to go with the Earl of
Desmond into Munster, to keep general sessions for the aii)ireheu-
sion and correction of all malefactors. Order should be taken with
tlie said Earl and the Lords of the counties of Cork, Limerick, and
Kerry, how the subsidy might be levied, having regard to the poverty
of the country ; and to make arrangements with them fur the
'"rising out" of horsemen and kern, to be always in readiness for the
administration of justice, according to the quantity of their lands.
That all Iri-sh law.s, called " lirehon laws," should be abolished within
those sl'.ires; and the Earl and the Lords should be boun<l in jicnalties
for the performance of this condition. And as no small enoiinities
occur by the continual recourse of idle men of lewd demeanor, called
rhymers, bards, and dice pkiyers, callc<l carroghes," who, under pre-
tence of their travail, bring privy intelligence between the malefac-
tors inhabiting those shires, to the great destruction of all true sub-
jects, care should be taken that none of those sects, nor other evil
])ersons, be suffered to travel within their rules ; and that proclama-
tion be made, that whosoever sliouhl maintain any such idle men
within their territories, should pay such fines as the President or
Commissioners should think lit. And as those rhymers, by their
ditties and rhymes, made for divers lonls and gentlemen in Ireland,
in commendation and high jiraisc of e.xtorsion, rebellion, rape,
rapine, and other injustice, encourage tho.se lords rather to follow
tiiose vices than • to abandon them, and for the niaking^ of such
rhymes rewards are given by the gentlemen ; for the abolition of
so heinous an abuse, order should be taken with the said Earl, the
lords and gentlemen, that henceforth they do not give any nuinner

of reward for any such lewd rhymes, under pain of forfeiting double *
the sura they should so pay, and that the rhymers should be fined Elizabeth,
according to the discretion of the Commissioners. Concerning the " "
men of the Earl of Desmond, supposed to be aiding Donell O'Bryene,
the Earl saitb he knoweth nothing ; nevertheless, he is content to
send his instructions by a trusty man of his own, to such of his
friends as he trusts most in the country, to ascertain if any of liis
people are giving such aid ; aud if there be, he will withdraw them,
so that he will sufier no attempts against her Majesty's proceedings.
Concerning the furtherance of religion in Munster, he says that
having himself no learning, he is ignorant what is to be done in
that behalf; but whatever the Commissioners suggest for that
purpose, he is content to maintain to the utmost of his power.
Touching the contention between the Earl of Ormond and him, the
latter desires that four indifferent persons should be chosen, so tliat
peace may be established between them, and security should be given
for performance of this treaty. Touching the £400 the Earl owes,
upon the sureties of Sir Thomas Cusake, to her Majesty, and £200
to the Lord Lieutenant, he desires it may be received at Waterford,
or a sutficient convoy sent, so that it shall meet with no mischance
by the way ; and as there can be found no men of his country that
can be security for him for performance of the articles agreed to in
England, and sent by Sir Thomas Cusake, and for the furtherance
of her Majesty's laws in Munster, and as men dare not, without
protection, travel into those parts, he desires to find surety by
recognizance at Waterford or Clonmel, for performance of this treaty.

person, having come to her Majesty at Hampton Court, tlicSth Nov. Klizabetli.
in the ninth year of her reign, and there in the Irish tongue, througli
her Majesty's interpreter, deckireil that the principal cause of his
coming was to see and speak with her Majesty in person, acknow-
ledging her to be his sovereign prince and ruler, and lamenting the
uncivil, rude, and barbarous life which he and his ancestors for a
long time had led, unconscious of the Divine name and service ;
declaring himself innocent of any treason or crime against her
Majesty, and asserting that he had for many years resisted the
odious traitor and rebel, Shane O'Nele ; and now with great fidelity,
prostrate at her Majesty's feet, he implores her to receive his sub-
mission, in these terms : first, he acknowledges her Majesty to be
his natural Princess and supreme sovereign, and promises obedience
and adhesion to her and her successors, and to defend her against
all men in the world, as becomes an obedient subject : He submits
himself, his life, his lands and goods to the mercy and clemency of
her Majesty, and surrenders into her hands the office and place of
Captain of O'Connor Sligo, with all his castles, royalties, and customs
in the territory called Carbery and Tireraglie, Moay, Layon, Cow-
lavyn, Coriu and Tire Irell, within the province of Connaght ; hum-
bly imploring her Majesty's pardon, entreating to be received into
her Majesty's grace and favour, and praying that hereafter he should
be reputed as English ; supplicating, and with all reverence and sab-
mission, beseeching her JIajesty, of her accustomed clemency, to
deign to re-grant to him his territory and lands, that he might hold
them of her Majesty, her heirs and successors, by such tenure,
attendance, and service as should be considered necessary and con-
venient ; and that he might be perpetually exempt from the yoke
and services imposed by O'DoncU, or any other person, and only
serve the imperial croivn of England. The Queen, in mercy,
deigns to receiv'e him to her favour and protection, and directs
the Lord Deputy and Council of Ireland to consider his state
and title ; and upon inquisition being taken, they shall cause letters
patent to be granted to him of all such lands and possessions as he
shall have been justly found entitled to : To hold for life, with such
remainders over as to the Lord Deputy and Council should seem
expedient; and that no greater rent than £100 in money (according
to the value of Irish money), or cows to that amount in value
should be reserved ; and for the due performance of this treaty Sir
Donald binds himself in the sum of £10,000, and swears on the

county of Carlow, and being so seized, the defendants, without right,
or colour of any just title, entered into several lands, parcel of the
said barony, rightfully belonging to complainant, and wrongfully
withheld the issues and profits, contrary to law and conscience ;
and as the i)laintiff was remediless at law, and likely to be defraude<I
of his lawful inheritance, he pniys the defendants may be summoned

as the defendants produced no evidences or other title but claiming
descent from Dermot ny Gall M'Morogh, who was, before the Con-

15 Charter of restitution of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. The
grant commences with a recital of the foundation charter of Arch-
bishop Comin ; next follows that of Henry de Loundres, whereby
he established a dean and three other dignitaries, in the college
which had been founded by his j)redeccssor ; it then recites a patent
of Edward IV., which divided the prebend of Luske between the
precentor and treasurer, conferred the rectory of Newcastle on tho
Archdeacon of Uiendalach, established throe new prebends in tho
churches of Saint Audcon, Kilniactahvay, and Wicklow, which had,
previously, been possessed by tho di;;niturics above mentioned ;
next follows the act of surrender to the Commissioners nominated
by Henry VIIL, and tiie certificate of the same to the king. Their
Majesties then proceed to mention the motives which urged them
to restore this cathedral to its pristine dignity ; they recount how
much it had been the care of their j)redecessors and its own pastors
to adorn the same, and how for i)roniotion of the worship of God
within tho realm of Ireland, it had boon their study to jdace therein
j)er8ons eminent for their le;u'ning, whom they had enriched with
competent revenues, to the intent, that hospitality should there
j)revail for the relief of numbers, and that tho youth of tho king-
dom should be instructed in civility of manners and the rules ol
moral virtue; all which pious intentions had their full cfl'ect, so
long as the ciitheilral remained undissolved ; but having observed
that, since the resignation of his inheritance, great evils had arisen,
both from decay of hospitality, the want of a place where youth
mi;;ht receive their education ius was accustomed, and, most of all,
that the honour and worship of the Divine Majesty had declined ;
they were moveil. theretore, to decree tiiat tiic Cathedral and Collo-
giate Church of Saint Patrick should bo restored to its pristine
state. Accordingly, with cunsent of !?ir Anthony Seiitleger, her
Deputy, Sir Thomas Cusake, Chancellor, ami others of tho Privy
Council, they decreed that the said Catheilral Church should, ac-
cording to the tenor of their letters of Privy Seal, dated 2,3rd
February, be forth with restored ; tho same to consist of a dean,
precentor, chancellor, trca.surer, two archdeacons, twenty-two pre-
bendary canon -priests, six minor caMiin-|)riests, sixteen vicjirs-
clioml i>riests, and six choristers. Furthermore, they ordained and

1569-] CHANCERY, IRELAND. 525

re-establislied the said church to be the cathedral church and archi- '^
episcopal seat of the Archbishop of Dublin, in as full and ample a Elizabeth,
manner as it was before its dissolution ; all honours, privileges, and
immunities, whatsoever, which the said cathedral, every person,
member of the same, had before possessed or enjoyed, were likewise
declared to be restored.

The charter then proceeds to nominate the several clerks, each
to his respective dignity or prebend, those benefices being all, at
that time, in the gift of the crown, by reason of the vacancy of the
see; it declares the chapter to be a body corporate, for ever, having
perpetual succession, in like manner as the dean and chapter of the
cathedral and metropolitan Church of the Holy Trinity, annexed to
the same archbishoprick ; that, as a corjiorate body, they may sue
and be sued in all courts ; that they shall have, under the name of
the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick, power to take, receive, alienate,
or demise, in like manner as the dean or chapter of any other
cathedral church within the realm, is, by law or custom, empowered
to do ; and that they shall have a common seal. The charter then
proceeds to restore, in the most ample manner, all the possessions or
immunities, of whatsoever kind, which had been previously possessed
by them, and confirms the same to them, and their successors for
ever : To hold from the festival of Easter preceding, in free and
perpetual alms, and in as full and perfect a manner as their pre-
decessors did at any time possess the same ; they are likewise
empowered to ordain, from time to time, such laws as they shall
deem meet for their own government. And, moreover, the charter
proceeds, considering that the possessions of the said dean and
canons are, at these present times, scarce sufficient for their support,
and that the tenants of the lands of the church have been harassed
by the oflacers and farmers of the crown revenues ; the said digni-
taries and canons and their farmers are hereby, of special favour,
taken under the protection of the crown ; and, therefore, all officers
of the same are specially commanded to be at all times protectors
and defenders of the said church, and all members of the same, and
all the property to them belonging ; neither at any time, says the
charter, shall hay, corn, horses, carriages, or cattle, the property of
any member of the said cathedral, or any tenant of the same be
taken or employed for the service of the crown, or any of its servants,
without the consent of the owner.

In consideration of this donation and restitution, the dean and
chapter were required to maintain for ever a schoolmaster and
usher, to teach grammar, and the same number of poor alms-men as
the church was wont to maintain before the late dissolution; which
alms-men are, at all times to be nominated by the Deputy, or Lord
Lieutenant for the time being, being maimed or disabled persons of
honest conversation and manner3,who have served the crown faithfully
in Ireland ; the nomination of the schoolmaster was reserved to the
archbishop, and both the school-house and alms-house, which was
established by letters patent on the dissolution of the cathedra],
were hereby dissolved : by the final clause the right of electing their

solution : and, moreover, the archbishop's right of patronapc in the
benefices was restored to him, to possess the same in as full and
ample a manner as he was used, before the cathedral Lad been dis-
solved.— Jum 15, 1° it 2° Philip and Mart/.

19. The Lords of the Privy Council in England to Sir Henry
Sidney, Lord Deputy, " Of late we received letters from your
Lordship with a case therein containing these words, 'Whereas
for the space of four hundred years and more, in the city of Dublin
there have been two churches accounted cathedrals, each having a
several chapter, dean, and seal, the consents of both and the seals
of both having been accustomed to be had and put to every grant
made of anything appertaining to the archbisiiop; the last year of
King Henry VIIL, the one church, namely. Saint Patrick's, with
the consent of the dean and the most part of the chapter of the
same, in their chapter house, did yield and give up, without the assent
of the bishop, into the king's possession, the said church and all things
thereto belonging, to him, his heirs and successors ; whether this
was a lawful dissolution or surrender or no, is the first doubt,
for the bishop consented not to it. Then the same bishop, in
King Edward's reign, and before the restitution of Saint Patrick's,
made a lease with the consent of the dean and chapter of the other
church, named Christ Church only, for that indeed Saint Patrick's
■was, in all opinion and assurance, dissolved, the priests excluded, the
lands dissipated, and the church converted to lay uses ; whether
this lease thus made be good to bind the successor or no, is the
second doubt.' By your Lordship's letter we were requested, for
that some difficulty and doubt grew upon the said case before your
Lordship, to send you our opinions and resolutions thereon, whereby
your Lordship might be the better satisfied and instructed of your
judgment to be given in that behalf. These be therefore to signify
unto your Lordsjbip, that we have not only heard the matter and
cause debated by learned counsel, both on behalf of the Archbishop
of Dublin, and also on behalf of Roger Brereton, between -whom we

Elizabeth. |„it j^ljio have, at scvenil times, made special meetings and conlcrenees
amoni'st ourselves toucliing ttie matter, and in tlic end, with delibe-
rate consideration, do think ujion the case, that, for as much as it
seems to us by the case, for anything we have yet heard to the con-
trary, that the grant surrendered or given up of the church of
S.iint Patriok, and of all things thereto belonging, was and is a law-
ful and perfect dissolution or surrcn<ler of the said church, and of
the corporation and chapter thereof, and that, by reason thereof,
there remained not any chapter to the said bishop, but only the
dean and chapter of Christ Church, wiiich was still " in e<.se" at tho
time the lease was made and conlirmed by the dean and chapter ;
we take it that tlie lease, made afterwards by the archldshop witli
the only assent of tho dean and chapter of Christ Churcii, to be good
and eHectual in the law to bind in succession, for that tho corpora-
tion of the dean and chapter of Saint Patrick's was then dissolved,
and had no being; and albeit that it hath been schlom seen tiiat our
opinions arc used to be set forth in writing, but only in such judicial
places as we are called unto, where as judges we speak judiciously ;
yet considering your Lordship's place of service and good zeal to
direct causes according to the common laws of the realm, we thought
it good to advertize your Lonlship of our opinions, hoping that we
shall not be often troubled with the like ; reserving, nevertheless,

and stating that she had received an answer from her Majesty, who
ordered that she, the petitioner, should have law, and also a justice as-
signed to sit with the Haron in judgment: Petitioner therefore prays
" she may not receive so great a wrong as that the defendant should
sit in juilguient agtiinst her, for it was contrary to law and con-
science for a man to be judge of his own cause, but he should, with
indifferent ears, hear an<l determine according to the truth of the
matter ; leaving all frivolous delays and exceptions, as want of
form or such like cavils, which might hup])on by negligence of the
pleader, but which concern not the right of either party, and finally
prays they should proceed to judgment with expedition, and further
favour she would not ask." — No date.
