THE CASE OF THE Governor , Officers and Soldiers actually concerned in the Defence of London-Derry , in the Kingdom of Ireland .

THE Great Service which was performed in London-Derry , as well as the Sufferings of that Garison are sufficiently known , and as the Providence of God gave Success to their Endeavours , for the defending the remander of the Protestant and English Interest in Ireland ; so the Honourable House of Commons have express'd their Esteem of that Important Service in divers Votes , both of Thanks and for Rewards to the Relations of those who had suffered in that Siege .

And no doubt but this Honourable House design their Favours to those who had an Actual Hand in the Defence of that Place ; and particularly to such who are so far from any Reward for their Service in that Place , that the Governor , Officers and Soldiers have never had any Pay for all the time of that Siege , tho their Accounts are stated .

Upon Colonel Lundy's Abandoning the Town , all the Aldermen of the Town left the Place except Three , Two of which had been Officers under Colonel Lundy , and refused to Engage against the late King James , and his Irish Army , during the Siege : the Mayor died before the Siege began , and no Persons pretended to any share in the directing of the Defence of that Town but Colonel Micchelburne , who had his present Majesty's Commission , Mr. Baker , and Mr. Walker .

The Inhabitants , and the Neighbours of the Town , made One single Company , who were called the Company of Gunners : Those were all the Inhabitants , who acted in the Defence of that City : The other Defendants were Persons from other Parts of the Country , who voluntarily came in : The Suburbs , one one part were destroyed in Colonel Lundy's Government .

All the Works that were made before the Siege was a Ravling without Bishops-Gate : Colonel Lundy had Money from England , though that Ravling could not cost 100 l.

The other Out-works were made after the Siege began , and the Soldiers of each Regiment performed that voluntarily with the same alacrity with which they defended the City .

As to Provisions , the Inhabitants of Derry were sustained by the Country Provisions , as they were defended by the Arms of the Country .

As to Arms and Ammunition , if any was provided besides what was taken from the Enemy , and what was sent from England , there was five times the proportion left after the Siege was rais'd , of what was before the War began .

And as to Cloaths , those fortunate Men , who hazarded themselves for the Defence of their Country , were not sollicitous for either Pay or Cloaths , when they every moment ventured their Lives for the Publick ; and if any private Persons contracted Debts during the Siege , they have paid the same .

And the Mayor and Aldermen of Derry have particularly Certified for Colonel Mitchelburn's Regiment under the Common Seal , dated Febr . the 2d . 1690.

Therefore it is humbly hoped this Honourable House will own those who were real Actors , and suffer'd in the Defence of London-derry , and will please to consider in the first place , those who Acted for the Protestant Religion and the English Interest in the Defence of Derry , without either Pay , Recompence or Reward hitherto . And after they shall be consider'd , then those who left the City , and retired to either England or Scotland , may Merit the Thoughts of this Honourable House .
