An ABSTRACT OF THE CASE OF THE City of Londonderry .

THE Services and Sufferings of the said City on the late Happy Revolution are sufficiently known , and have been acknowledg'd by the Repeated Votes and Addresses of the Honourable Houses of Commons both in England and Ireland : And in particular , by the Votes in England , of April 9. 1698 , their Disbursements and Losses for the Publick Service , were , ( on a moderate Computation ) allow'd to amount to about 30000 l. But the want of a proper Fund has hitherto been the Reason that no Compensation has been made for the same : So that to this Day , great part of its Suburbs , and many Houses , even within the Walls , ly in Rubbish ; the Inhabitants thereof , by what they have Undergone for securing and defending that important Place , being reduc'd to great Poverty , and rendred unable to re-build them .

AND in regard that the preserving that Place ( at so critical a Juncture ) prevented the Irish Army from being transported to England or Scotland , and consequently kept England Quiet at Home , and made the Reduction of Ireland much more easie , both in respect of Bloud and Treasure .

AND the said City being the only Place in that Part of Ireland , to which Protestants in time of Eminent Danger can resort , the Relief it gave them on the late Revolution not being the first Instance thereof : For in the Bloody Massacre of 1641 , the said City was likewise a Refuge to Thousands of Poor Protestants .

Wherefore the Inhabitants of the said City do humbly hope , That now the Forfeitures of Ireland are designed to be appropriated for the Publick Service , that their Extraordinary Case will be by this Honourable House compassionately considered .
