ORIGINAL

THERE are within the limits aforefaid, more than the faid proportions, about 12000 acres, not yet granted, intended to be paffed to martial men, who are to build upon the borders and faftneffes, but cannot, until fome of the patentees be removed unto the lands affigned them. The names of thefe martial men are, captain Dorrington, captain Meares, captain Pikeman, captain Cawell, captain Ackland, captain Henry Fisher, lieutenant John Fisher, lieutenant Burroughs, Mr. Gillet, Mr. Waldrond, lieutenant Stratford, Mr. Sherlock, Mr. Hafhwell.

AFTER the before mentioned patents granted, the faid patentees this feventh of May laft, obtained feveral injunctions to the sheriff of Wexford, to put and continue them in their several portions of lands specified in their patents, which the fheriff accordingly performed, and did break open the doors of fuch as refifted, and turned them out; yet notwithstanding, upon fubmiffion, divers of them were permitted to return to their houses again, and in haryeft last the said fheriff, by warrant from the lord deputy, was affifted by the bailiffs of the new patentees, to take up the fourth fheaf of their corn for the Michaelmas rent, in regard they were then to pay the King's rent; which fourth fheaf the patentees ftill detain, the natives being allowed to take the reft to their own ufe. Many fuch of the natives as formerly agreed to this new plantation, now abfolutely diflike thereof, and of their proportions affigned them in lieu of their other poffeffions taken from them, for that, as they affirm,

firm, their proportions affigned are not so many acres as they are fated to them, and because the acres taken from them are far more in number than they be furveyed at, which difference cannot be decided without a new furvey, which fome of the natives defire. All the ancient poffeffioners of the English race, and divers of the Irish, have been always faithful to the crown of England: but most of the Irish were bebels in the time of the great rebellion of Tyrone. Several of those to whom proportions are affigned, are of the fepts of the Cavenaghs and Murroughs, which held land in thefe limits before; Walter Synnot, Patrick Peppard, and Art Mac Dermot, offer for themselves and the reft of the countries, that they will pay fuch rents, and perform the buildings and covenants to the king's majefty, that these new undertakers are to perform; but they do altogether refuse to repay to the undertakers their charges disbursed about this plantation, which are rated at 3000l. Every undertaker of 1500 acres is to build a caftle or stone houfe of 30 feet in length, 24 in breadth, and 30 feet high, besides the battlements. Every undertaker of 1000 acres is to build a caftle or ftone house of 24 feet fquare, and 30 feet high, befides the battlements; and every undertaker of 500 acres is to build a strong bawne of lime and ftone, thefe buildings to be made within four years after the patentees have quiet poffeffion. The yearly rent referved to the king, is five pounds for every thoufand acres granted the English, and fix pounds fix fhillings and

eight

eight-pence for every thousand acres granted to the natives, except for thofe lands aligned to Sir Richard Masterson and Walter Synnot, in lieu of their rents and chiefries out of the whole.

THE rents yearly referved and to be referved to his majefty, if the plantation proceed, will be 4267. 18s. 10d. i, and the country is discharged of the rents and chiefries granted to Sir Richard Masterson and Synnot, which are 210l. per

annum.
