THE

:
OR
,
THE
JEW
DETECTED
,
&c.
IN
the
West
of
Ireland
,
in
the
Province
of
Munster
,
lieth
the
River
of
Kilmare
,
about
11
Leagues
from
the
Main
up
into
the
Countrey
,
adorned
on
each
side
with
divers
capacious
and
defencible
Harbours
,
wherein
thousands
of
the
best
Ships
may
safely
ride
at
once
,
with
ready
Outlets
for
the
Outward
or
Homeward
bound
Ships
;
and
many
Conveniencies
for
great
Fisheries
,
as
Herring
,
Pilchard
,
and
Salmon
;
To
say
nothing
of
divers
kinds
of
Hook-Fish
,
as
Hake
,
Cod
,
Ling
,
Polluck
,
Mackarel
,
&c.
wherewith
this
River
aboundeth
,
capable
●l
Trade
both
by
Sea
and
Land
;
as
it
was
before
●he
last
War
,
after
Sir
William
Petty
had
erected
●everal
considerable
Fisheries
,
built
the
Iron-Works
,
opened
the
Lead-Mines
,
and
promoted
●he
Trade
of
Rape-Seed
on
each
side
of
the
Ri●er
,
and
planted
a
Collony
there
of
815
Souls
●f
English
Protestants
at
his
Expence
of
above
●0000
l.
Sterl.
to
the
general
Enrichment
of
that
part
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
great
Augmentation
of
the
Kings
Revenue
;
all
which
were
demolish'd
and
destroy'd
by
the
last
Wars
and
not
above
75
of
those
Protestants
now
left
in
being
;
so
greatly
the
Heirs
of
Sir
William
Petty
,
and
this
Collony
of
Protestants
,
have
been
Sufferers
in
the
late
Troubles
by
their
Adventures
in
that
desolate
part
of
the
Kingdom
,
where
the
Natives
by
the
right
Numbering
of
the
People
were
found
to
be
above
900
Papists
to
one
single
Protestant
;
who
were
never
thorowly
subdu'd
since
the
War
of
1641
,
nor
in
the
best
of
times
brought
ameanable
to
the
Laws
of
England
,
until
the
same
was
performed
,
in
a
great
measure
,
by
this
English
Plantation
;
where
now
again
,
ever
since
the
last
War
,
20
,
30
,
and
sometimes
100
at
a
time
of
Toryes
have
march'd
openly
in
Arms
up
and
down
that
Country
,
and
upon
the
approach
of
any
consider
●ole
part
of
the
Army
,
have
disperst
themselves
into
smaller
Companies
,
and
are
conceal'd
among
the
Glins
and
Fastnesses
;
where
if
any
of
the
Inhabitants
are
suspected
as
Discoverers
,
They
and
their
Friends
are
immediately
destroyed
,
by
burning
thei●
Houses
,
cropping
their
Ears
,
and
cutting
ou●
their
Tongues
,
and
sometimes
keeping
them
Prisoners
whole
Nights
,
stark
naked
,
in
the
ope●
Fields
.
Into
this
River
,
as
a
place
for
the
purpose
,
arrived
the
Laurel
of
London
,
Christopher
Ly●
Master
,
she
carry'd
ten
Guns
,
Burthen
150
Tun●
richly
Laden
(
as
gather'd
from
the
Master
and
People
belonging
to
her
)
with
Sugars
,
Logwood
,
Fastick
,
Lyme-Juice
,
Indigo
,
Ginger
,
Cotton
,
Paint
,
Pemento
,
and
great
store
of
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
divers
Ingots
besides
;
from
Jamaica
,
bound
for
London
,
having
on
Board
as
Passengers
,
Jacob
Myars
(
the
Jew
)
and
Peter
Row
,
as
also
one
Mr.
Spyers
,
who
was
said
to
be
Son-in-law
to
one
of
the
Owners
of
the
Ship
,
but
so
indispos'd
and
sickly
,
that
it
's
doubtful
whether
he
was
concern'd
in
the
Stratagem
or
not
.
They
gave
an
account
that
on
the
27th
of
January
1693
,
in
the
morning
,
they
were
four
Leagues
to
the
West
of
the
Bull
,
Cow
,
and
Calf
,
appendix
page
18
when
first
they
made
them
,
and
believ'd
them
to
be
the
Skellox
,
until
they
were
undeceiv'd
by
the
Main
Land
so
near
them
;
and
tho'
they
declar'd
a
Resolution
for
Kinsale
,
and
to
lye
there
appendix
page
18
until
some
Ship
of
War
could
come
and
receive
them
into
her
care
,
and
convoy
them
safe
for
London
;
yet
one
may
conclude
that
they
shap't
an
extravagant
careless
Course
,
to
stand
for
the
River
of
Killmare
;
whereas
the
wind
being
at
West
,
four
leagues
to
the
west
of
the
Bull
,
&c.
appendix
page
18
They
might
sail
in
a
manner
right
before
it
,
for
the
Old
Head
of
Kinsale
;
The
heavens
acted
nothing
to
the
contrary
;
and
had
they
designed
what
they
pretended
,
It
's
very
manifest
by
Scale
and
Flower-de-luce
,
and
by
the
accompts
of
the
Winds
,
and
the
sufficient
good
order
of
the
Ship
,
that
she
might
have
arrived
there
with
less
difficulty
then
she
did
in
Killmare
.
But
Killmare
was
the
place
alloted
for
the
fatal
knock
,
which
without
Resolution
,
or
premeditated
intention
,
could
not
be
well
accomplish'd
in
that
River
,
by
reason
of
the
many
Harbours
gaping
on
every
side
thereof
to
receive
and
entertain
any
Ships
whatever
,
and
by
reason
of
the
boldness
of
the
Shores
upon
the
River
,
and
all
these
Harbours
;
so
as
a
Ship
Turning
up
the
River
,
or
into
the
Harbours
,
may
safely
dare
to
Nose
every
Rock
with
her
Boltsprit
;
I
say
not
appendix
page
18
well
to
be
accomplisht
,
especially
while
the
wind
held
its
own
at
W.
the
River
lying
W.
S.
W.
and
E.
N.
E.
but
two
points
from
blowing
directly
up
the
River
,
and
might
very
well
serve
for
putting
into
any
of
these
Harbours
;
Capanacossy
is
the
only
Shole
and
lyeth
near
the
upper
end
of
the
River
;
But
so
landlockt
,
that
there
is
no
manner
of
Danger
,
because
the
greatest
Winds
appendix
page
12
have
not
power
to
create
Seas
,
or
to
make
any
,
appendix
page
5
more
then
a
small
cockling
of
the
water
;
And
't
is
to
be
observed
for
ever
,
that
it
's
the
Seas
,
and
not
the
Winds
,
can
do
a
Ship
any
considerable
prejudice
in
cases
of
distress
of
this
kind
;
for
let
the
Winds
be
never
so
violent
,
a
Ship
shall
never
beat
in
smooth
Waters
.
Into
this
River
,
as
the
place
of
Execution
,
they
arrived
on
the
27th
of
January
1693
,
in
the
evening
,
and
dropt
their
best
Bower
,
and
so
came
to
an
Anchor
under
Rossmore-point
,
about
mid-way
up
the
River
,
where
,
as
the
winds
continued
still
at
West
,
she
might
ride
well
enough
,
as
she
did
all
that
night
,
for
they
were
not
resolved
to
cast
her
away
untill
they
had
fix'd
upon
a
convenient
shore
to
save
themselves
,
and
their
mony
,
in
their
long
boat
.
That
evening
they
had
a
full
prospect
of
the
greatest
part
of
the
River
,
and
the
openings
of
the
several
Harbours
;
Next
morning
,
a
little
after
Six
a
clock
,
they
cut
their
Cable
,
pretending
that
she
would
not
ride
for
want
of
the
Mizen-Mast
,
for
they
had
taken
care
to
cut
That
by
the
board
,
before
she
came
into
the
River
,
to
prevent
her
yawing
as
she
sayl'd
afore
the
winds
,
as
tho'
nothing
could
prevent
it
,
but
the
cutting
away
of
that
Mast
;
But
the
reasons
why
they
wounded
and
hackt
the
main-yard
,
the
fore-yard
,
and
the
fore-top-saile-yard
in
several
places
about
the
middle
of
the
yards
,
are
yet
appendix
page
18
kept
to
themselves
.
But
would
they
speak
ingeniously
,
they
must
say
't
was
done
that
they
might
crack
and
break
in
sunder
when
the
sails
should
appendix
page
22
fill
with
the
violent
winds
,
and
thereby
make
the
greater
shew
of
distress
?
Having
cut
the
Cable
,
she
drove
up
along
the
north
side
of
the
River
,
and
coming
towards
Black-Water
,
a
very
good
Harbour
,
and
right
afore
the
wind
,
which
appendix
page
6
now
veer'd
to
the
S.W.
they
made
ready
,
and
the
appendix
page
12
Master
,
Passengers
,
and
the
whole
Ships
company
,
appendix
page
6
got
out
with
their
Treasure
of
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
in
their
long-boat
they
came
ashore
at
Black-Water
,
appendix
page
6
and
presently
sunk
their
boat
,
and
marcht
appendix
page
12
up
by
land
along
the
River
side
,
about
two
miles
from
Black-Water
to
the
house
of
one
Dermot
mac
Owen
,
at
Cappanacossy
,
about
seven
a
Clock
that
morning
;
but
their
Ship
was
got
appendix
page
6
to
Cappanacossy
almost
as
soon
as
they
,
without
appendix
page
11
a
Soul
on
board
her
,
where
she
drove
to
and
fro
appendix
page
6
before
their
faces
,
with
the
Flood
and
Ebb
,
all
appendix
page
12
that
day
;
while
the
Master
,
Passengers
,
and
appendix
page
21
Company
,
divided
the
Treasure
among
themselves
,
appendix
page
22
to
every
one
a
share
;
and
sent
for
Liquor
appendix
page
1
from
on
board
,
to
make
themselves
and
appendix
page
12
the
Country
People
merry
,
Renouncing
their
Ship
,
and
declaring
her
a
Wreck
,
in
a
place
appendix
page
3
where
a
Ship
could
not
be
lost
,
but
by
some
Sinister
means
.
But
their
greatest
concern
was
how
to
provide
Horses
and
Conveniencyes
to
carry
themselves
appendix
page
12
and
their
Treasure
out
of
the
Country
,
without
any
manner
of
regard
to
their
Ship
or
Cargo
:
They
mockt
and
spurn'd
at
every
body
that
advised
them
to
betake
themselves
to
their
Ship
;
And
such
as
were
importunate
to
have
her
saved
,
appendix
page
2
they
caused
to
be
soundly
drubb'd
.
Having
spent
that
day
in
jollity
and
carrousing
after
the
Treasure
was
distributed
,
The
appendix
page
13
Master
at
length
was
prevail'd
upon
to
write
to
Mr.
Thomas
Palmer
,
a
Minister
,
and
one
of
the
Justices
of
the
peace
of
that
County
,
living
about
three
miles
up
the
River
side
from
Capponacossy
.
And
in
his
letter
he
pretended
some
appendix
page
31
distress
,
and
that
he
had
not
a
sail
left
;
tho'
at
appendix
page
18
the
same
time
,
there
was
a
whole
suit
on
board
:
appendix
page
25
Whereupon
Mr.
Palmer
went
to
him
in
the
evening
,
and
told
him
that
his
Ship
was
in
very
appendix

13
●tle
danger
,
and
advis'd
him
to
get
his
men
to●ether
,
appendix
page
33
and
go
on
board
again
;
But
the
Ma●er
seem'd
to
despair
of
ever
getting
her
out
of
appendix

●at
place
,
and
desir'd
that
some
of
the
Country
appendix

might
make
the
most
they
could
of
her
.
●ut
Mr.
Palmer
bid
him
still
be
of
good
courage
,
●nd
told
him
that
she
could
be
saved
without
any
●anner
of
difficulty
;
And
then
by
further
discourse
,
●e
understood
that
they
had
great
quantityes
of
●old
and
Silver
at
Dermot
mac
Owen's
house
,
●d
did
therefore
alarm
them
to
go
on
board
appendix

33
●ith
their
Treasure
;
telling
them
,
that
the
●untry
abounded
with
Toryes
,
and
that
their
appendix

●ip
was
the
best
Garison
in
those
parts
;
upon
appendix

13
●hich
apprehension
of
the
Toryes
,
the
Master

,
and
Seamen
,
repair'd
again
to
their
appendix

with
all
expedition
,
and
were
afterwards

cautious
in
their
designe●
;
Yet
took
no

of
care
to
preserve
the
Ship
;
but
dis●untenanced
,
and
rejected

when
they
offered
to
bring

Mr.
Palmer
Returned
home
that
night
,
and

several
of
the
English
People
with
Men
,
and

,
to
fetch
off
the
Ship
,
the
night
being
fine
appendix

●d
calm
;
And
sent
some
Soldiers
likewise
on
appendix
page
29

,
lest
the
Rabble
of
the
Country
,
or
the
To●s
,
appendix
page
19
should
make
any
attempt
upon
her
;
But
all
appendix

33
●o
purpose
,
for
the
master
would
not
suffer
appendix
page
19
●m
to
get
her
away
,
But
got
up
a
Cask
of
appendix
page
29
appendix
page
25
Rum
,
and
therewith
set
all
that
were
on
board
appendix
page
33
to
make
themselves
merry
;
and
so
the
Master
appendix
page
2
and
the
rest
of
the
Ship
Crew
,
pass'd
away
that
appendix
page

fine
night
,
without
suffering
her
to
be
brought
to
a
convenient
Harbour
.
Next
morning
being
the
29th
,
Jacob
Myars
appendix
page

Peter
Row
,
the
mate
of
the
Ship
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
seamen
,
went
off
by
Boat
with
their
Treasure
in
some
Chests
,
and
put
the
same
ashore
at
Mr.
Palmer's
house
,
which
were
handed
in
by
their
own
men
,
and
set
them
in
an
open
appendix
page
7
room
to
the
view
of
every
body
that
came
in
,
appendix
page
33
without
acquainting
Mr.
Palmer
that
there
was
any
thing
besides
their
cloaths
in
the
Chests
;
And
on
the
same
day
Mr.
Palmer
and
Mr.
Myars
rid
down
to
Cappanacossy
,
and
took
along
wit●
them
one
Mr.
Richard
Orpen
(
Son
in
law
to
Mr.
Palmer
)
to
consider
the
best
and
speedyest
mean●
for
saving
of
the
Ship
,
&c.
he
having
judgment
in
appendix

33
Shiping
,
who
went
on
board
along
with
Mr.
Myars
,
leaving
Mr.
Palmer
(
being
a
corpulent
man
)
appendix
page
21
ashore
;
As
soon
as
Mr.
Orpen
got
a
board
(
being
appendix
page
24
about
half
flood
)
he
examined
the
Pump
,
an●
appendix
page
30
found
that
the
water
was
black
and
stunk
;
An●
thereupon
told
the
Master
that
the
Ship
was
tight
and
that
she
was
in
no
manner
of
danger
,
an●
told
him
also
that
there
were
a
great
many
me●
appendix
page
33
coming
down
from
Mr.
Palmers
to
lighten
an●
get
off
the
Ship
,
and
that
they
would
bring
h●
off
that
very
tyde
;
And
desired
him
to
hoist
u●
all
the
heavy
Goods
that
could
be
readily
come
〈◊〉
to
be
put
ashore
,
and
also
his
Guns
,
for
that
their
weight
aloft
,
would
incline
her
to
swaddle
;
adding
,
that
one
pound
aloft
would
do
her
more
prejudice
then
ten
a
low
,
and
bid
him
strike
the
●ore-top-mast
as
well
as
the
main-top-mast
,
and
●old
him
that
she
would
ride
the
quieter
,
especially
while
she
had
no
Mizen
;
To
all
which
discourse
,
the
Master
answered
nothing
,
onely
said
,
that
he
could
not
part
with
appendix
page
24
his
Gunns
,
that
he
must
keep
them
for
his
defence
,
●east
peradventure
he
should
be
at
any
time
at●akt
by
the
French
Privateers
;
whereupon
Mr.
Orpen
told
him
that
the
Gunns
could
be
of
no
great
use
to
him
in
that
condition
,
since
that
the
Privateers
could
engage
him
(
where
he
lay
)
●n
no
other
manner
than
in
their
Longboats
;
and
appendix
page
24
still
advised
him
if
he
would
putt
his
Gunns
ashore
,
and
make
a
Battery
near
his
Ship
;
t
would
do
much
better
,
and
that
he
should
be
furnish'd
appendix

24
with
men
enough
with
small-arms
on
board
,
which
would
be
more
proper
against
the
Long-boats
,
one
of
the
Gunns
countervailing
the
weight
of
eight
men
or
thereabouts
;
But
the
Master
would
not
hearken
to
it
;
Mr.
Orpen
discourst
him
further
,
●nd
asked
him
how
many
men
belonged
to
the
Ship
,
he
answered
nine
,
and
two
boys
;
and
being
appendix
page
24
●sked
how
many
of
them
he
quartered
to
each
Gunn
?
and
how
many
to
the
small-arms
?
He
●retted
at
the
discourse
,
and
said
,
tho'
he
had
appendix
page
25
●ot
men
enough
for
the
Gunns
,
yet
he
would
not
●art
with
them
,
but
would
keep
them
for
a
shew
;
a
very
pretty
shew
indeed
!
when
all
the
Gunn●

two
,
lay

appendix

and
downe
the

,
and
remain
so
still
;
Bu●
the
dialogue
rested
not
there
,
for
Mr.
Orpen
enquired
of
him
about
his
Anchors
and
ground
tackle
,
and
their
condition
;
and
what
anchors
h●
had
then
out
?
The
Master
answerd
that
sh●
appendix

ridd
only
by

Kedg-anchor
and
a

That
they
had
lost
their

at

when
they
cut
two
days
ago
,
and
that

had
a
very
good

.
But
their

wanted
a

;
upon

Mr.

desire
the
master
to
send
his
Carpenter
,
who
was
the
appendix

on
board
to
make
a
stock
,
and
shewed
him
whe●
there
was
good
season'd
timber
within
two

of
the
Ship
:
And
promised
,
th●
some
of

should
assist
the

and
that
a

should
be
fitted
for
him
in

;
But
the

would
n●
accept
of
the

:
This

them
till
near

about

't

wh●
was

with

and
observed
to

that

fleeted

and
bid
him

his

off

,

kindly
shifting

appendix

whereupon
he
made
a
sputter
up

down
th●
Decks
,
as
tho'
he
would
have
got
his
men
to
wo●
upon
the

;
but
at

,
he
answerd
that
all

Ships

,

two
,
were
ashore
at
Mr.
Palmer's
,
along
with
the
Passengers
;
so
that

miss'd
getting

off
that
Tyde
for

of
his

;
whose

leand
more
towards
the
Treasure

than
towards
the
Ship
and
Cargo
.
appendix

While
Mr.
Orpen
was
yet
on
board
,
he
ordered
that
a
Countrey
Fellow
,
who
was
brought
before
him
for
some
Petty
Larceny
,
should
be
forthwith
ty'd
Neck
and
Heels
,
and
be
exposed
appendix

upon
the
Open
Deck
,
that
others
might
take
Example
by
him
;
but
the
Master
neglecting
to
have
it
done
,
the
Fellow
slipt
over
the
side
into
a
Boat
:
But
so
zealous
was
Mr.
Orpen
to
serve
the
Master
,
that
he
ordered
the
Fellow
to
be
brought
on
board
again
,
and
had
both
his
hands
ty'd
to
the
Gang-Way
,
and
with
a
Ropes-End
was
beaten
with
many
stripes
,
to
the
terror
of
appendix

24
others
of
the
Countrey
that
were
present
,
and
beheld
this
severe
Infliction
for
so
small
a
Transgression
against
the
Master
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
greatest
part
of
the
Seamen
went
from
Mr.
Palmers
to
Roughty
Bridge
,
a
small
Village
about
2
miles
from
thence
,
and
carry'd
their
Proportions

Treasure
with
them
.
Mr.
Orpen
took
leave
of
the
Master
in
the
Evening
after
Sun-set
;
and
presently
afterwards
there
came
to
the
Ship
several
stout
boats
manned
with
English
men
and
their
servants
,
which
were
appendix

sent
by
Mr.

to

The
men
went
on
couragiously
on

,
overjoyd
to
see
how
the
Winds
,
the
Tyde
,
the
heavenly
Luminaryes
,
and
every
thing
,
conspir'd
together
towards
their
good
success
,
to
relieve
the
Master
in
that
his
pretended
misfortune
;
and
heartily
spoke
to
him
and
told
him
;
Sir
,
we
are

now
come
to
bring
off
your
Ship
,
which
(
with
the
help
of
God
)
we
will
accomplish
without
any

manner
of
difficulty
;
whereupon
the
master
answered
appendix
page

them
in
a
wrathful
sort
of
dialect
,
and
in
a
rage
appendix
page
24
bid
them
all
get
out
of
his
Ship
;
some
of
them
appendix
page
29
reply'd
,
That
they
came
to
do
him
good
service
,
an●
appendix
page
24
deserved
not
to
be
so
treated
;
and
admired
hi●
appendix

meaning
,
and
told
him
,
That
they
heard
that
the
Torys
did
resort
near
the
shores
,
to
robb
people
a●
they
came
and
went
by
land
to
and
from
the
Ship
,
and
that
themselves
could
not
well
row
back
against
the
violent
Ebb
of
a
spring
,
(
being
the●
near
high
water
)
and
't
was
not
safe
for
them
t●
go
ashore
,
least
they
should
fall
into
the
hands
o●
their
enemies
:
but
he
told
them
again
that
h●
cared
not
what
became
of
them
,
and
if
they
did
no●
hasten
out
of
his
Ship
,
he
would
fire
upon
them
appendix
page
19
and
so
retires
furiously
,
as
though
he
resolved
t●
appendix
page
20
bring
some
small
arms
to
fire
at
them
through
th●
port-holes
of
the
steerage
;
which
astonish'●
them
to
see
the
Master
so
highly
incense●
against
them
for
their
kindness
.
But
to
avoid
his
malice
,
they
got
into
their
Boats
again
,
and
so
went
ashore
.
That
night
about
12
a
clock
,
Mr.
Palmer's
house
was
set
on
fire
in
several
places
by
the
Toryes
,
who
made
several
Shotts
in
thorow
the
doors
;
●he
men
then
in
the
house
,
were
Mr.
Palmer
,
the
Ships
Mate
,
Mr.
Spires
,
Mr.
Myars
,
Mr.
Row
and
George
Fleming
,
from
whom
several
●hotts
were
returned
out
of
the
doors
and
windows
;
but
the
fire
increasing
vehemently
about
●heir
ears
,
they
were
forced
to
break
open
the
doors
,
and
submit
themselves
to
the
Toryes
,
who
presently
entred
the
house
,
and
Mr.
Myars
shew'd
●hem
where
the
Chests
lay
that
had
the
mony
;
which
the
Toryes
immediatly
took
away
out
of
●he
house
;
wherein
(
besides
the
Treasure
)
were
great
store
of
fine
embroider'd
cloaths
both
for
men
and
women
,
which
(
as
suppos'd
)
did
be●ong
to
the
right
Master
of
the
Ship
and
his
wife
.
All
thinking
People
of
that
part
of
the
King●om
,
agree
,
That
the
putting
the
treasure
of
●he
Ship
into
Mr.
Palmner's
house
after
this
clan●estine
manner
,
without
acquainting
him
therewith
(
especially
while
their
Ship
lay
in
no
dan●er
)
was
for
some
sinister
ends
;
and
nothing
●ore
evident
,
then
that
the
Master
,
Passengers
●nd
Seamen
were
resolved
to
slip
away
with
the
appendix
page
13
Mony
and
Gold
,
and
by
some
devilish
instigati●n
,
appendix
page
19
had
concluded
to
destroy
the
Ship
and
Car●o
,
appendix
page
8
whereby
they
might
be
allow'd
some
room
to
alleadge
that
all
this
Treasure
was
likewise
plunder'd
&
rappareed
by
the
Rabble
of
the
Country
.
But
designes
of
that
sort
,
have
their
end
most
commonly
,
not
unlike
their
begining
,
for
it
s
believed
,
that
the
master
,
passengers
and
Ships
company
,
had
as
little
right
to
that
treasure
,
as
the
Toryes
that
Robb'd
them
;
Neither
did
it
prosper
much
better
with
the
Toryes
,
for
soon
afterwards
,
they
grew
into
high
variance
about
dividing
the
spoil
,
and
their
leader
who
had
the
greatest
share
,
was
shot
through
the
body
with
three
bullets
,
by
such
another
as
himself
,
whereof
he
dyed
without
giving
any
manner
of
account
where
he
had
hid
his
Talent
;
Thus
the
iniquityes
of
the
wicked
have
fallen
upon
the
heads
of
the
righteous
:
for
Mr.
Palmer
,
whose
Life
and
Conversation
have
been
an
Ornament
to
his
Profession
,
and
who
has
always
had
an
unspotted
Reputation
,
is
hereby
,
together
with
his
Family
,
utterly
ruined
,
his
house
and
all
his
substance
,
burnt
to
the
ground
;
himself
,
his
wife
and
children
,
forced
to
flee
naked
out
of
their
bedds
,
without
saving
so
much
as
their
wearing
Apparel●
appendix

But
the
projections
of

not
here

for

January
,
he
had
an
account
of
what
hapen'd
at
Mr.
Palmer's
;
Then
began
his
confusion
in
appendix
page
29
mind
;
What
,
says
he
,
all
the
mony
lost
,
and
the
Ship
still
alive
!
If
I
save
her
now
,
and
sail
her
for
London
,
the
Owners
will
be
upon
my
back
for
the
mony
;
For
,
how
can
I
answer
such
an
unpresidented
thing
,
to
put
the
mony
ashore
,
when
the
●hip
was
in
no
manner
of
danger
?
O
wretched
state
of
Man
!
which
greatest
things
To
greatest
downfal
and
confusion
brings
.
Had
not
the
mony
been
lost
,
I
had
enricht
my self
,
●nd
could
have
made
the
better
terms
about
it
,
●hether
I
had
sunk
the
Ship
or
saved
her
,
Had
●ot
the
mony
been
lost
,
I
could
have
sunk
the
●hip
,
and
pretended
that
all
was
lost
together
,
●nd
havockt
away
by
the
Country
:
What
shall
do
?
The
holes
are
already
bored

her

,
and
much
water
already
in

hold
,
she

now
in

water
at

,
and
●nd
how
will
it
be
with
the
Sugars
when
it
flows
2
foot
more
this
next
Tyde
?
Come
,
I
am
re●olved
;
Sirrah
go
flip
the
Warp
that
she
rides

,
and
let
her
fill

and
drive
to

that
possest
me

when
I
first
possest

will
veil
this
prank
of
the
mony
,
by
comitting
worse
upon
the
back
of
it
;
Let
her
split
,
and
●rownd
,
and
be
damn'd
.
The
Master
was
heard
to
put
forth
several
eja●ulations
appendix
page
19
of
this
kind
,
whilst
he
ranged
about
from
appendix
page
17
●he
great
Cabin
to
the
Deck
,
and
from
Poop
to

,
snarling
at
every
body
that
spoke
to
him
.
●ut
no
body
knew
yet
what
he
meant
by
saying
●at
the
holes

bored
throw
her
bottom
.
While
●e
was
thus
railing
at
his
fate
,
and
cursing
his
●arrs
,
The
People
with
the
boats
(
whom
he
appendix
page
4
had
turnd
out
of
his
Ship
last
night
for
offering
appendix
page
24
to
save
her
)
came
on
board
again
,
and
profered
appendix
page
25
their
service
,
which
the
Master
still
renounced
appendix
page
29
and
refused
;
But
at
length
,
the
winds
arising

25
hard
at
Southwest
,
the
Master
about
12
a
clock
,
appendix
page

and
young
flood
,
called
to
them
,
and
told
them
appendix

25
that
all
the
Goods
would
be
lost
that
Tyde
;
and
appendix
page
19
bid
them
save
what
they
could
for
themselves
,
appendix
page
29
and
told
them
that
the
Ship
would
soon
split
appendix

25
in
a
thousand
pieces
;
and
when
they
had
put
appendix

nine
casks
of
Indigo
,
and
some
other
things
into
appendix
page

their
boats
,
He
bid
them
again
to
take
all
for

to

that

appendix

With
three
boats
&
several
of
the
English
with
them
,
He
came
ashore
in
the
afternoon
at
a
place
appendix
page
9
called
Killowen
,
a
small
English
village
,
bringing
appendix
page
19
with
them
the
nine
Barrells
of
Indigo
and
some
appendix
page
25
other
things
,
besides
the
two
barrels
for
the
appendix

30
Master
to
bear
his
charges
out
of
the
Country
,
which
were
all
landed
there
,
and
put
into
a
Cellar
,
and
the
people
were
contented
to
take
some
small
part
for
Salvage
.
As
soon
as
the
Master
came
ashore
,
he
met
Mr.
Orpen
,
and
told
him
that
all
the
appendix

Cargo
was
lost
by
that
time
,
and
that
he
believed
appendix
page

the
Ship
was
splitt
in
pieces
;
However
,
he
desired
him
to
go
and
save
what
he
could
,
seeming
very
appendix

confident
that
she
could
not
hold
out
till
next

;
Mr.
Orpen
dispatcht
several
people
to
the
Ship
;
amongst
them
was
one
Mr.
Bryan
Kelly
appendix

whom
he
called
back
and
sent
him
to
the
Master
for
a
note
under
his
hand
for
Salvage
,
which
Mr.

Kelly
accordingly
did

and
got

himself
,
knowing
them
to
be
Mr.
Orpens
friends
)
as
soon
as
he
had
got
the
appendix
page
9
note
,
being
about
night-fall
he
repaired
to
the
appendix
page
23
Ship
,
and
found
that
the
rest
of
the
people
employed
appendix
page
15
by
Mr.
Orpen
were
got
on
board
her
,
and
appendix
page
28
having
loos'd
the
foretopsail
;
and
placed
a
man
appendix
page
10
at
the
helme
,
they
brought
her
with
much
pains
and
industry
into
a
convenient
Creek
;
and
after
she
was
brought
to
the
Creek
,
Mr.
Kelly
went
on
board
her
,
and
told
them
,
that
Mr.
Orpen
appendix
page
9
had
sent
him
to
desire
them
to
be
careful
of
every
thing
,
and
that
himself
came
directly
from
the
Master
,
who
had
put
the
whole
concerns
of
the
appendix
page
10
Ship
into
Mr.
Orpens
management
,
and
that
he
appendix
page
11
would
be
with
them
out
of
hand
with
men
and
boats
,
who
accordingly
came
next
morning
betimes
appendix
page
28
on
the
31st
with
men
and
boats
,
and
having
fitted
Teakles
and
Cannhooks
,
&c.
fell
to
work
appendix
page
10
to
discharge
the
Cargo
,
which
was
not
without
appendix
page
10
appendix
page
10
some
difficulty
,
for
the
Rabble
and
Rapparees
appendix
page
28
crouded
into
her
in
great
Numbers
,
insomuch
that
Mr.
Orpen
was
forced
to
bring
his
people
appendix
page
10
to
their
arms
,
and
thereby
expelled
the
intruders
and
employed
Mr.
Aldwell
,
Capt.
Carthy
,
Squire
Sulivane
and
Mr.
Kelly
,
to
oversee
the
safe
putting
of
the
goods
ashore
into
convenient
houses
,
which
appendix
page
28
was
done
with
the
best
Care
that
the
then
circumstances
appendix
page
26
would
allow
,
being
at
a
time
when
the
appendix
page
17
whole
Country
about
them
abounded
with
great
appendix
page
23
Numbers
of
Rapparees
and
Tories
,
well
befitting
such
designs
as
were
then
on
foot
(
of
the
Master
,
passengers
and
Ships
company
)
to
destroy
the
Ship
and
Goods
,
and
slip
away
with
the
Gold
and
Silver
;
several
of
the
goods
were
put
ashore
that
appendix
page
28
day
;
and
the
night
following
,
the
Ship
was
closely
attackt
by
rhe
Rapparees
,
so
that
Mr.
Orpen
and
his
men
had
very
hot
work
,
being
all
that
night
at
close
firing
;
and
it
is
credibly
reported
,
that
above
twenty
rapparees
were
wounded
in
that
nights
service
.
They
appeared
several
nights
appendix
page
28
afterwasds
before
the
Ship
,
yet
never
made
any
appendix
page
26
further
attempt
upon
her
.
But
it
s
very
manifest
appendix
page
23
that
had
not
Mr.
Orpen
undertaken
to
manage
and
defend
the
concern
,
that
the
Rabble
&
Rapparees
appendix
page
18
had
wholy
destroy'd
the
Ship
&
goods
;
Being
indeed
appendix
page
8
no
more
but
what
the
Master
,
passengers
,
and
appendix
page
19
company
hop'd
for
;
For
had
the
Ship
and
Cargo
appendix
page
17
been
utterly
ruined
(
especially
before
the
mony
appendix
page
3
was
lost
)
they
had
their
ends
,
and
might
have
kept
the
mony
,
and
had
wreck-room
enough
to
say
that
the
Sea
or
Land
had
swallowed
it
from
them
along
with
the
Ship
and
goods
;
and
the
only
cause
of
crime
against
any
of
that
country
,
is
because
that
any
thing
was
saved
.
The
next
day
being
the
1st
of
February
,
(
the
third
day
after
the
Ship
was
stranded
,
)
The
Master
came
again
appendix
page
5
to
the
Ship
,
and
the
first
thing
he
did
,
was
to
come
appendix
page
20
privately
under
her
sterne
to
view
her
deaths
appendix
page
21
wounds
,
Vizt.
the
holes
which
he
had
made
in
the
bread-room
thorow
her
bottom
,
the
morning
he
quitted
her
,
where
he
found
the
water
gushing
out
of
her
,
as
it
s
said
,
the
blood
freshens
at
the
murtherer
when
he
is
brought
to
lay
his
hand
upon
the
Corps
before
the
Inquest
;
But
stepping
appendix
page
20
on
board
,
Mr.
Orpen
shewd
him
that
the
water
was
in
her
hold
within
a
foot
and
a
halfe
of
the
Beam
;
whereupon
the
Master
ordered
that
a
hole
appendix
page
5
should
be
made
to
let
it
out
,
which
was
accordingly
appendix
page
20
done
,
and
desired
the
Master
to
stay
on
board
and
take
an
account
of
things
,
and
to
see
the
holes
stopt
,
and
likewise
desired
him
to
send
for
his
appendix
page
18
men
;
one
seaman
being
worth
five
landmen
for
working
in
a
ship
.
But
he
stayed
no
longer
appendix
page
5
aboard
,
then
to
order
great
part
of
the
Sugars
appendix
page
18
(
which
had
received
some
damage
)
to
be
given
away
to
the
Country
people
and
to
see
it
done
,
and
having
filled
some
baggs
with
the
white
Sugars
,
carry'd
them
with
him
to
his
quarters
;
appendix
page
45
but
returned
not
again
untill
five
days
after
,
neither
did
he
send
any
of
his
men
,
but
hastned
them
away
out
of
the
country
,
without
keeping
one
of
appendix
page
46
them
to
stay
in
the
Ship
.
Upon
the
2d
of
Febr.
Capt.
George
Gregory
commander
at
Ross-Castle
,
and
Mr.
James
Bland
Minister
of
Killarny
,
came
to
the
Ship
,
where
they
made
about
two
hours
stay
,
and
returned
again
,
with
full
assurance
,
that
she
was
ensured
,
or
that
the
Master
,
passengers
and
company
had
willfully
destroyed
the
Ship
and
Cargo
for
the
lucre
of
the
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
said
that
it
was
a
just
judgment
upon
them
that
they
were
robb'd
by
the
Toryes
:
Next
day
,
being
the
third
,
Mr.
Bland
writt
the
following
Letter
to
Mr.
Thomas
Crump
the
Kings
Officer
,
wherein
are
high
enducements
that
Capt.
Gregory
ought
to
be
attended
with
some
presents
or
bribes
:
with
menaces
of
perill
in
case
of
Failure
.
Glannerought
Febr.
3d.

Mr.
Crump
,
THough
Capt.
Gregorye's
modesty
will
not
give
him
leave
to
ask
any
gratuity
for
his
Soldiers
service
,
yet
I
hope
your
discretion
will
tell
you
what
he
may
expect
upon
this
occasion
;
and
I
hope
what
his
extraordinary
Civility
forbids
him
to
ask
,
your
Gratitude
will
make
you
give
him
;
he
has
sent
away
the
Bagg
of
Sugar
,
having
the
conveniency
of
a
Guard
But
he
setts
a
very
small
value
upon
it
;
If
you
deliver
two
Firkins
of
Lymejuice
to
his
Serjeant
,
and
what
ever
else
you
think
worth
his
acceptance
,
it
will
come
safely
to
his
hands
;
The
Captain
of
the
Ship
says
,
there
are
Sweetmeats
Chocolett
and
Jamaica
Peper
and
Ginger
aboard
;
But
I
need
not
advise
you
in
this
case
,
You
that
have
been
so
much
conversant
in
those
things
,
need
not
to
be
at
a
loss
what
to
do
;
only
I
take
leave
to
tell
you
as
a
friend
,
that
as
you
may
incur
his
Favour
by
this
,
So
you
may
his
Displeasure
,
by
the
neglect
of
it
,
which
may
prove
more
dangerous
then
you
imagine
.
My
service
to
Mr.
Orpen
.
Sir
,
I
am
Yours
,
JA.
BLAND
.
It
's
very
evident
what
unjust
errands
the
Capt.
and
Mr.
Bland
went
upon
the
day
before
,
when
they
visited
Mr.
Orpen
and
Mr.
Crump
on
board
the
Ship
,
which
,
though
(
as
the
Letter
speaks
,
)
bashful
to
ask
for
,
yet
they
blush
not
to
write
for
,
next
day
;
Mr.
Orpen
,
returned
this
answer
,
That
the
Soldiers
must
be
paid
if
they
did
any
service
;
And
as
cases
stood
,
he
would
not
dispose
of
any
thing
;
but
hop'd
that
in
a
little
time
,
a
division
would
be
made
;
And
as
soon
as
he
had
his
share
Set
out
,
which
was
due
to
him
for
Salvage
,
he
would
pay
his
respects
to
them
,
with
Presents
of
every
sort
;
which
unsatisfying
answer
not
fuiting
well
with
the
covetousness
of
the
Captain
and
the
Parson
,
proved
of
ill
consequence
to
Mr.
Orpen
and
Mr.
Crump
;
For
the
Capt.
and
Mr.
Bland
set
up
for
the
Master
and
Crew
,
Maing
them
now
Saints
,
whom
but
lately
before
they
had
condemned
for
Devills
;
they
incensed
Edward
Herbert
the
high
Sherrif
,
a
man
of
no
small
Power
,
and
Charles
Monk
Esq
;
Collector
of
the
County
of
Kerry
,
against
Mr.
Orpen
and
Mr.
Crump
,
as
tho'
they
were
the
only
persons
that
had
destroyed
the
Ship
and
Cargo
;
And
had
forced
the
Master
by
head
and
shoulders
out
of
the
Ship
;
And
having
obtained
from
the
Master
and
Passenger
what
Orpen
,
had
refused
to
give
upon
the
request
of
that
most
disingenious
Letter
,
They
still
continued
to
raise
and
foment
divers
evil
reports
,
especially
against
Mr.
Orpen
,
as
though
he
had
been
,
not
only
the
principal
destroyer
of
the
Ship
,
but
that
he
had
also
contrived
the
burning
of
Mr.
Palmer's
house
:
Haste
is
now
the
necessity
;
and
Major
Steers
the
Grand
Informer
of
the
County
of
Kerry
,
was
posted
away
to
Dublin
,
to
fill
that
City
with
the
noise
.
The
Sh.
joines
with
the
Capt.
and
Mr.
Bl.
and
represents
Orpen
as
a
person
very
obnoxious
and
culpable
in
the
whole
proceeding
of
the
Ship
.
What
cannot
a
man
accomplish
,
tho'
never
so
ill
a
member
?
Can
he
want
Friends
while
he
has
any
thing
to
give
away
?
The
Sh.
the
Cap.
&
Mr.
Bl.
have
received
Presents
from
the
Master
,
Passengers
,
&c.
whom
they
immediately
restored
to
their
reputation
again
;
and
Mr.
Orpen
is
as
soon
traduced
to
the
World
:
who
if
he
had
been
but
earlier
in
Presents
then
the
Master
,
had
undoubtedly
bore
the
Bell
;
But
neglecting
to
pay
the
Twenty
Guinnyes
which
the
Sh.
desired
to
have
,
as
a
br.
or
gift
,
and
for
refusing
complyance
to
an
unlawful
Request
of
a
Minister
,
is
now
under
those
dangers
which
are
preacht
out
against
him
and
Crump
,
in
the
perclose
of
Mr.
Bl's
Letter
.
The
Capt.
having
carry'd
away
several
considerable
appendix
page
41
goods
of
the
Ship
to
Ross-Castle
,
leaves
the
Sh.
in
Glannerought
to
come
up
in
his
place
,
Giving
him
the
command
of
his
men
;
The
stores
being
nevertheless
frequently
robb'd
while
the
Sh.
and
the
Master
had
care
of
them
;
No
appendix
page
35
marvel
it
should
be
so
,
while
the
Soldiers
,
the
appendix
page
18
Toryes
,
and
an
ill
pack
which
attended
the
Master
,
appendix
page
37
were
continually
about
the
place
.
Now
let
any
unbyast
man
consider
the
condition
of
that
part
of
the
Country
,
and
how
lyable
the
poor
inhabitants
thereof
are
to
entertain
Toryes
in
their
houses
,
when
Capt.
Gregoryes
Soldiers
have
made
such
neighbour-hood
with
them
,
which
is
not
obsevable
altogether
in
them
only
,
for
the
Cap.
himself
who
lives
by
the
sword
,
appendix
page
35
whose
trade
is
to
fight
,
and
receives
the
Kings
pay
upon
that
account
,
is
of
resolution
as
far
from
engaging
the
Toryes
as
his
Soldiers
are
from
being
at
War
with
them
.
And
you
shall
find
that
the
Cap.
hath
no
manner
of
inclination
to
suppress
appendix
page
36
the
Toryes
,
and
that
his
men
have
been
kind
to
him
,
for
allowing
them
to
quarter
where
the
Toryes
have
reforted
:
not
to
kill
or
take
them
,
appendix
page
26
but
to
have
leave
to
Range
upon
free
quarters
,
whereby
the
remedy
is
become
allmost
as
bad
as
the
disease
;
upwards
of
thirty
familyes
having
Fled
,
bag
and
bagage
,
from
the
cruelty
of
these
Soldiers
,
who
could
not
expect
that
kind
of
liberty
,
appendix
page
35
if
there
were
no
Toryes
;
and
the
Cap
's
own
behaviour
in
this
Affair
,
describes
him
no
otherwise
than
a
Moderate
Fighter
,
or
Worse
;
of
which
the
former
indeed
is
more
dispensable
:
For
,
if
a
man
be
not
inspired
with
Courage
,
how
can
it
be
expected
where
it
is
not
?
And
if
God
and
Nature
design'd
it
for
him
,
he
must
blame
the
ineptitude
of
his
own
Organs
,
or
the
Imbecility
of
the
Womb
that
did
not
sufficiently
purifie
them
,
so
as
to
make
them
capable
to
entertain
a
Spirit
suitable
to
his
Profession
;
Oportet
ut
mens
sana
,
sit
in
corpore
sano
;
It
is
a
thousand
pities
that
a
Man
of
his
Nerves
should
want
a
Mind
:
For
the
other
there
can
be
no
manner
of
Pardon
in
any
Person
whatsoever
,
that
is
false
to
his
God
,
and
Traytor
to
his
King
;
and
for
a
small
Pattern
of
his
Heroick
Atchievements
,
look
into
the
Appendix

And
are
not
the
rest
of

But

are
thus
in

worst

of

Lo
!

Soldiers
,
or
the
unrighteous
Mammon
;
and
so
●fterwards
became
the
most
notorious
Robber
in

●he
Kingdom
.
Thus
,
we
our selves
have
forced
them
to
be
Toryes
,
that
were
the
very
Instruments
to
detect
●hem
.
Thus
with
a
seeming
Zeale
to
the
cause
,
●hey
run
to
the
Government
(
the
Fountain
of
●ustice
)
with
their
clandestine
complaints
against
Mr.
Orpen
about
Cn●her
Boy
;
whereas
indeed
it
●s
with
no
other
design
then
to
sculk
behind
the
Laws
,
for
that
complaints
of
this
kind
,
are
cog●isable
before
any
Justice
of
the
peace
in
the
pro●er
County
,
against
a
person
that
is
not
of
the
●rmy
:
nor
in
the
Comision
of
the
peace
.
See
how
●hey
have
dealt
with
the
Government
in
this
●atter
;
after
all
their
noise
about
Cnoher
Boy
,
〈◊〉
shew
them
at
length
a
Reed
shaken
with
the
●ind
,
for
the
intent
of
that
great
clamor
could
●im
no
further
,
then
highly
to
involve
Mr.
Orpen
into
Censures
and
Expences
,
and
so
have
him
condemn'd
before
he
was
heard
,
thereby
to
wound
him
sorely
in
his
Reputation
and
Purse
,
the
better
to
carry
on
their
other
designs
against
him
,
about
the
Ship
;
for
why
did
not
they
after
all
the
stir
which
they
made
in
Dublin
about
the
Toryes
,
bring
somewhat
of
that
kind
against
him
before
the
Grand-Jury
at
the
last
General
Commission
of
Oyer
and
Terminer
held
in
Kerry
on
the
26th
of
March
1694
,
when
he
dared
them
to
it
in
open
Court
,
and
when
the
Ld.
C.
J.
Pine
told
Major
Steers
their
late
confident
in
Dublin
,
that
't
was
now
a
very
firt
time
to
do
it
.
But
to
return
again
to
the
Ship
,
without
making
five
days
,
digression
,
as
the
Master
did
,
for
he
appendix
page
45
came
not
nigh
her
again
until
the
7th
of
February
,
that
Mr.
Monk
perswaded
him
to
go
on
board
,
and
then
he
made
but
about
an
hours
stay
,
and
went
not
to
her
again
until
the
12th
where
appendix
page
46
he
stay'd
about
another
hour
(
Leaving
one
Mr.
Richard
Clarke
to
look
after
things
on
board
)
who
until
that
day
never
went
to
concern
appendix
page
10
himself
with
the
Ship
,
or
any
thing
belonging
to
her
:
But
the
work
being
over
for
several
days
before
,
and
all
the
Salvable
part
of
the
Goods
(
except
some
damnified
Ginger
,
and
the
Fustick
,
which
lay
in
the
Balast
)
being
already
brought
away
by
Mr.
Orpen
;
Mr.
Clark
Rumidg'd
for
an
hour
or
two
up
and
down
her
hold
,
and
betwixt
Decks
;
and
then
left
her
,
and
the
Master
went
not
nigh
her
any
more
until
the
15th
.
Now
had
the
Master
any
manner
of
inclination
for
the
preserving
of
the
Ship
and
Goods
,
he
would
not
have
lain
away
from
her
,
while
her
Decks
could
be
kept
dry
;
Nay
,
tho'
he
were
forced
to
lye
in
his
cloaths
all
the
time
.
All
this
while
the
Master
,
Passengers
and
Seamen
never
mention'd
appendix
page
11
any
thing
of
the
holes
that
were
bored
in
the
Ship
,
but
kept
it
private
until
about
the
10th
of
February
,
that
the
Country
began
to
ring
of
it
.
For
it
seemes
the
Mate
or
Carpenter
as
they
travel'd
,
had
made
discovery
thereof
to
some
persons
that
brought
the
account
of
it
back
to
Killmare
.
Then
and
never
before
,
the
Master
owned
,
that
there
were
holes
bored
in
the
Breadroom
thorow
her
bottom
,
and
that
he
did
it
purposely
to
lodge
her
in
the
strand
,
that
by
the
weight
of
water
in
her
hold
,
she
might
Sit
the
faster
from
beating
;
But
sure
he
will
not
impute
appendix
page
22
it
to
his
own
Ignorance
that
he
knew
not
that
she
was
but
10
foot
in
the
Hold
and
that
she
lay
in
15
foot
water
in
that
place
.
During
these
Transactions
,
the
Master
,
Mr.
Myars
,
Mr.
Row
and
Mr.
Orpen
,
were
very
good
Friends
,
save
that
one
Firebrand
was
cast
in
among
them
by
Capt.
Gregory
,
by
Stirring
up
both
sides
to
speak
hard
of
each
other
,
and
carry'd
the
same
from
one
to
t'other
;
which
lost
nothing
in
the
carriage
;
so
that
he
rais'd
some
heats
which
lasted
not
above
a
day
or
two
;
and
it
appears
,
that
hitherto
Cap.
Gregory's
incendiaryes
,
took
no
great
root
among
them
,
for
that
the
Master
and
these
Passengers
went
frequently
to
eat
and
drink
at
Mr.
Orpen's
house
;
and
upon
the
11th
of
February
after
dinner
,
all
three
call'd
him
aside
,
and
told
him
,
how
well
satisfied
they
were
with
his
behaviour
in
that
affair
of
the
Ship
and
Goods
,
and
desired
him
to
take
the
trouble
appendix
page
45
of
the
future
mannagment
thereof
,
promising
appendix
page
5
that
he
should
have
his
Salvage
,
and
that
they
resolved
to
go
together
for
England
;
but
would
first
make
a
conveyance
of
all
to
him
,
and
he
to
deliver
up
the
same
to
them
or
their
Orders
upon
appendix
page
45
demand
,
after
allowing
him
his
Salvage
;
whereupon
they
call'd
Mr.
Monk
,
and
having
made
him
acquainted
with
what
they
had
motion'd
to
Mr.
Orpen
,
they
pray'd
the
favour
of
him
to
draw
writings
between
them
to
that
effect
:
and
in
the
evening
,
they
took
leave
of
Mr.
Orpen
,
and
every
one
went
to
his
uarters
,
and
Mr.
Monk
spent
a
considerable
part
of
the
night
in
drawing
the
Instruments
.
But
the
Sh.
who
lay
all
the
while
in
ambush
for
a
grasp
at
the
Goods
,
lodg'd
in
the
same
House
with
Mr.
Monk
,
and
by
some
means
pry'd
into
the
Writings
,
and
next
morning
he
came
along
with
Mr.
Monk
,
accompany'd
with
Cap.
Gregory
,
to
Killowen
,
where
they
found
the
Master
,
the
two
Passengers
,
and
Mr.
Orpen
,
very
friendly
together
.
Now
or
never
was
the
time
for
the
Sh.
to
set
them
at
variance
,
which
indeed
he
accomplish'd
with
a
witness
:
For
he
plainly
saw
that
he
was
at
that
instant
like
to
be
put
by
from
ever
having
any
concern
with
these
Goods
:
And
there
upon
,
in
vehemency
and
wrath
he
insinuated
to
the
Master
and
Passengers
,
That
himself
was
high
Sh.
of
the
County
,
a
Justice
of
peace
of
the
County
,
Lieut.
of
the
County
,
who
could
command
the
Army
,
as
well
as
the
Militia
of
the
County
;
and
what
was
it
that
he
could
not
do
in
the
County
?
And
withall
told
them
soberly
,
that
they
were
under
some
censures
for
casting
away
their
Ship
,
and
destroying
the
Cargo
;
and
that
he
,
and
only
he
,
could
set
them
right
with
their
Owners
in
England
,
and
with
the
Government
in
Ireland
;
And
then
turn'd
to
some
old
Law-Book
,
directing
(
as
he
pretended
)
that
all
Wrecks
ought
to
be
deposited
with
the
Sheriff
.
The
valiant
Cap.
Gregory
,
(
who
had
made
them
understand
by
the
daily
Out-rages
of
himself
and
appendix
page
40
his
Men
,
that
he
govern'd
indeed
with
no
less
Arbitrariness
than
the
high
Sh.
and
as
Despotical
appendix
page
41
as
he
for
his
Life
)
entertain'd
them
with
his
Military
Rhetorick
,
how
absolute
he
was
in
all
matters
of
Government
and
Command
:
Yet
that
himself
and
the
high
Sh.
were
but
as
one
Man
,
who
being
a
person
well
practic'd
in
Controversies
,
could
either
raise
or
depress
them
as
he
pleased
;
and
advised
them
to
quit
all
others
,
and
stick
to
the
Sh.
One
Horse
Nabs
another
;
and
People
of
a
sort
soon
agree
:
The
high
Sh.
the
Cap.
the
Master
,
Jacob
Myars
,
and
Peter
Row
,
sprung
presently
as
a
sworn
Covey
,
and
Mr.
Orpen
was
no
more
to
be
consulted
with
,
but
look'd
upon
as
a
Person
qualified
to
ruine
their
Councils
and
Designs
.
From
hence
forth
Cap.
Gregory
,
the
high
Sh.
and
Mr
Bl.
(
being
well
sweetned
with
some
of
the
best
Sugars
)
became
Patrons
to
the
Master
,
and
these
Passengers
,
&
by
the
frequent
incursions
of
the
first
,
That
part
of
the
Country
about
Killmare
,
was
harass'd
as
though
it
had
been
the
Enemyes
Quarters
;
for
he
had
always
a
ravenous
pack
at
his
heels
,
who
prey'd
upon
the
Country
day
and
night
,
without
paying
for
the
Provisions
which
they
exacted
from
the
poor
People
in
their
continual
marches
,
under
the
notion
of
searching
for
the
Ships
Goods
,
Tumbling
and
tossing
all
their
little
housholdry
,
and
janting
it
in
that
manner
,
from
house
to
house
,
they
beat
and
wounded
the
Men
,
Ravish'd
Women
and
Maids
,
and
set
Houses
afire
;
But
when
they
had
Forced
the
People
to
give
them
all
their
mony
,
they
put
out
the
fire
again
.
These
doings
past
under
the
notion
of
serving
the
Owners
,
who
have
also
paid
dearly
for
their
Services
,
and
had
they
thought
fit
to
have
consulted
Mr.
Orpen
,
he
had
made
appear
the
many
havocks
which
were
commited
by
the
Master
,
Passengers
,
the
high
Sh.
Cap.
Gregory
and
Mr
Bl.
and
they
should
find
at
what
rate
the
Master
and
Passengers
have
bought
the
patronages
of
those
three
Gentlemen
;
which
began
more
openly
upon
the
12
of
February
;
and
on
the
13th
the
Sh.
fram'd
an
advantageous
Narrative
by
his
Letter
to
the
Government
,
in
the
behalf
of
his
Sweet
Clyents
,
and
becomes
Merchant
for
great
part
of
the
Goods
,
and
waited
at
Killmare
for
an
order
(
in
answer
to
his
Letter
)
to
Seiz
both
Ship
and
Goods
into
his
own
possession
;
and
so
by
his
power
of
Shrievalty
,
Replevins
,
&c.
to
wrest
from
Mr.
Orpen
and
the
rest
of
the
English
of
those
parts
,
what
was
due
to
them
for
Salvage
;
and
by
his
merit
of
that
kind
,
to
win
the
Owners
favour
,
into
some
great
Presents
for
his
good
services
,
whom
the
Master
and
Passengers
in
the
mean
time
visited
by
their
Letters
,
Setting
forth
the
worthyness
of
the
Sh.
as
the
only
persen
fit
to
be
trusted
in
the
whole
concerns
of
the
Ship
and
Goods
;
and
how
highly
he
had
appeared
against
Mr.
Orpen
and
the
rest
of
their
Enemies
.
But
Mr.
Orpen
and
the
English
Petitioned
to
the
Government
against
the
proceedings
of
the
Sh.
who
waited
big
with
expectation
of
a
power
to
seize
,
&c.
But
no
such
thing
appearing
,
nor
finding
the
success
he
wisht
for
,
and
that
his
Letter
was
not
so
taking
as
expected
,
Mr.
Myars
hastens
away
to
Dublin
,
well
trained
to
every
particular
requisite
to
back
the
Letter
of
the
13th
,
who
arrived
there
about
the
5th
of
March
,
and
on
the
6th
made
his
examination
ready
,
and
on
the
7th
was
examined
before
the
Honble
Sr.
Henry
Ecclin
,
one
of
the
Barrons
of
the
Exchequer
,
which
Examination
scream'd
so
loudly
against
the
behavior
of
Mr.
Orpen
and
the
English
,
that
the
Government
conceiving
it
necessary
to
take
cognizance
thereof
,
sent
to
the
Right
Honourable
Sir
Rich.
Pyne
,
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
their
Majesties
Court
of
Common
Pleas
(
then
upon
the
Munster
Circuit
)
to
inquire
into
the
whole
matter
,
and
to
report
the
same
,
and
Colonel
Denny
and
Col.
Hasset
,
two
of
the
Deputy-Governours
,
and
Justices
of
the
peace
for
the
County
of
Kerry
,
were
required
to
have
Mr.
Orpen
and
Mr.
Crump
apprehended
,
and
thereupon
they
issued
their
Warrant
to
the
H.
Sh.
to
that
purpose
,
who
was
overjoyed
to
see
the
growth
of
his
labour
and
wit
arrive
to
that
perfection
,
and
put
the
Warrant
in
execution
after
a
strange
manner
;
Not
by
himself
,
or
any
of
his
under-Officers
,
but
employ'd
Serjeant
Fullerton
(
brother
in
law
to
Capt.
Gregory
)
who
with
ten
Musquetteers
came
to
Mr.
Orpens
house
,
and
took
him
prisoner
,
without
letting
him
know
upon
what
account
,
other
then
that
their
Capt.
had
commanded
them
to
do
it
;
He
askt
them
,
was
it
by
warrant
or
by
order
?
The
Serjeant
told
him
that
he
had
a
warrant
;
But
would
not
be
prevailed
upon
to
shew
it
,
or
to
give
the
least
hint
of
the
purport
thereof
.
But
at
length
he
said
that
it
was
for
Harbouring
of
Toryes
,
and
gave
out
to
the
neighbourhood
(
inter
alia
)
that
't
was
for
supplying
the
Torys
with
ten
quarts
of
Powder
.
Notwithstanding
that
Mr.
Orpen
seemed
unconcerned
at
these
proceedings
;
Yet
the
new
English
Collony
which
he
brought
into
that
Country
,
began
to
repine
at
their
misfortune
,
and
wisht
that
they
had
never
come
out
of
England
;
And
finding
him
thus
troubled
on
account
of
appendix
page
33
Toryes
,
whom
they
knew
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
suppressors
of
Malefactors
throwout
the
appendix
page
34
Province
,
and
well
assured
in
their
consciences
,
that
appendix
page
39
he
was
no
way
guilty
of
such
a
crime
,
they
concluded
that
the
Sh.
Ca.
Gregory
,
and
Mr.
Bl.
would
soon
have
them
all
accused
,
and
prosecuted
upon
the
like
account
,
and
thereupon
resolved
to
be
gone
bag
and
baggage
as
fast
as
they
could
out
of
their
reach
.
The
Serjeant
and
party
took
away
Mr.
Orp.
out
of
his
house
in
great
hurry
,
not
affording
him
time
to
put
on
his
cloaths
,
to
the
great
glory
of
the
high
Sh.
to
see
his
prisoner
carry'd
thro'
the
Towns
with
ten
Musquetteers
;
a
very
unpracticable
way
of
executing
the
warrant
of
the
Civil
Magistrates
.
But
Mr.
Orpen
is
now
Prisoner
at
Tralee
,
and
by
the
23th
of
March
was
Examined
,
and
Bail'd
to
appear
the
26th
,
being
the
day
that
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
had
appointed
for
the
Tryal
;
which
was
bu●
very
short
time
to
provide
himself
and
his
wittnesses
,
being
at
that
time
of
the
year
accounted
four
days
Journey
from
thence
home
to
Glannerought
,
and
back
to
Tralee
again
;
However
,
he
was
there
on
the
26th
,
with
several
Witnesses
.
But
his
Enemies
having
informed
●hemselves
who
they
were
,
made
interest
to
have
●hem
all
accused
for
Felony
;
and
thereupon
procured
appendix
page
32
a
Warrant
from
the
L.
C.
J.
and
had
them
apprehended
for
this
pretended
Felony
,
to
put
them
off
with
Fear
and
Expence
,
from
giving
their
Testimonies
.
Upon
the
27th
in
the
morning
,
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
Orpen
and
Crump
,
was
found
by
the
Grand
Jury
,
for
taking
two
Hogsheads
of
Sugar
,
and
eight
Hogsheads
of
Lime-Juyce
,
of
the
proper
Goods
of
Peter
Row
,
out
of
the
Ship
Laurel
;
In
the
afternoon
they
were
call'd
:
but
for
want
of
Witnesses
to
prove
the
Accusative
Allegations
,
't
was
put
off
till
next
morning
;
and
the
Tryal
could
not
yet
be
brought
on
,
for
want-of
such
Witnesses
:
Whereupon
Mr.
Orpen
told
the
Court
,
That
he
confess'd
to
have
saved
such
Goods
,
and
that
he
would
prove
the
Master's
Orders
for
it
;
and
prayed
to
have
the
Tryal
go
on
;
not
thinking
what
kind
of
Preparations
were
made
against
him
.
The
Couragious
Major
Steers
,
who
was
principal
Engine
to
inform
against
him
in
Dublin
,
and
a
chief
Cock-Feather
in
the
Jews
Cap
,
was
call'd
to
be
Foreman
of
the
Jury
;
Theophilus
Morris
,
who
was
not
of
the
County
,
but
Agent
for
the
Owners
and
Merchants
,
was
the
next
call'd
,
both
which
were
excepted
against
by
appendix
page
43
Mr.
Orpen
;
and
some
were
call'd
and
answer'd
,
appendix
page
35
but
for
private
Reasons
were
struck
out
by
the
Sh.
without
any
Exception
of
either
side
.
But
a
Jury
being
Empanell'd
and
Sworn
;
The
Master
,
Samuel
Aldwel
and
Bryan
Kelly
,
were
sworn
on
behalf
of
the
Prosecutors
.
The
Master
made
(
in
terms
)
a
long
Harrangue
of
his
Course
,
and
Departure
,
in
his
whole
Sailing
,
until
his
Arrival
in
Kilmare
,
and
how
he
was
forced
in
by
distress
appendix
page
31
of
Weather
,
how
his
Ship
had
lost
all
her
Sails
,
how
he
lost
his
Sheet-Anchor-Stock
,
how
he
forsook
her
on
the
28th
of
January
in
the
morning
,
appendix
page
25
after
cutting
his
Cable
;
how
he
went
on
board
her
again
,
and
bor'd
holes
in
her
to
set
her
fast
from
beating
,
and
how
he
carry'd
eleven
barrels
of
Indigo
ashore
when
he
forsook
her
out
right
on
the
30th
of
January
.
But
deny'd
that
ever
he
desired
Mr.
Orpen
to
save
any
thing
belonging
to
her
,
and
that
he
went
into
her
without
his
consent
,
and
turned
out
those
whom
the
Master
had
employ'd
,
Vizt.
O
Sulivan
More
,
Capt.
Carthy
,
Mr.
Aldwell
and
Mr.
Clarke
.
Mr.
Aldwell
swore
,
That
himself
went
not
on
board
,
till
after
she
was
brought
safe
to
the
Creek
,
And
that
Mr.
Orpen
did
not
turn
appendix
page
26
him
out
,
but
employ'd
him
to
help
to
save
the
goods
;
That
he
never
pretended
any
power
appendix
page
32
from
the
Master
;
That
Mr.
Orpen
shewd
them
a
Broad
Seal
,
but
't
was
to
encourage
the
men
to
their
Arms
against
the
Rapparees
.
And
that
had
not
Mr.
Orpen
taken
the
matter
upon
him
,
the
Ship
and
Cargo
had
been
destroy'd
,
as
appears
by
his
Affidavit
.
Bryen
Kelly
Swore
that
he
was
present
when
the
Master
desired
Mr
Orpen
to
go
on
board
and
save
what
he
could
,
who
thereupon
employ'd
him
and
others
;
But
sent
him
to
the
Master
for
appendix
page
7
a
note
under
his
hand
,
which
the
Master
gave
;
appendix
page
8
That
none
of
the
persons
which
the
Master
pretended
to
have
been
employ'd
by
himself
,
came
appendix
page
9
unto
her
until
others
employ'd
by
Mr.
Orpen
had
brought
her
safe
to
the
Creek
;
as
appears
by
his
Affidavit
.
There
were
Sworne
on
the
behalf
of
the
Traversers
,
Joseph
Taylor
,
Charles
Mansfield
,
and
Tymothy
Murphey
;
Joseph
Taylor
Swore
,
that
the
Master
shew'd
a
full
resolution
against
saving
the
Ship
:
That
he
exprest
several
frivolous
pretences
appendix
page
24
against
lightening
her
;
That
he
refused
to
appendix
page
25
accept
of
a
stock
for
his
Sheet
Anchor
,
That
she
fleeted
,
but
no
care
was
taken
by
the
Master
to
save
her
,
pro
ut
his
affidavit
.
Charles
Mansfield
Swore
,
That
the
Master
had
no
mind
to
save
the
Ship
;
And
that
he
was
with
him
the
day
he
left
her
,
being
the
30th
of
January
,
when
he
desired
Mr.
Orpen
to
go
and
save
what
he
could
,
and
that
Mr.
Orpen
did
Accordingly
employ
several
persons
,
who
saved
her
,
appendix
page
3
and
what
they
could
of
the
Goods
;
that
the
appendix
page
4
Master
came
not
near
her
again
until
the
3d
day
,
and
then
he
ordered
another
hole
to
be
made
in
the
Ship
,
but
would
not
be
perswaded
by
Mr.
Orpen
to
stay
and
bring
his
men
to
help
to
save
the
Goods
,
but
promised
him
Salvage
.
Vide
his
Affidavit
.
Timothy
Murphy
swore
,
That
he
was
present
on
the
30th
of
January
,
when
the
Master
desired
appendix
page
43
Mr.
Orpen
to
go
and
save
what
he
could
;
appendix
page
35
that
himself
was
one
of
the
Persons
employ'd
by
Mr.
Orpen
to
go
on
board
,
who
went
accordingly
,
and
loosed
the
fore-top-sail
,
and
placed
a
Man
at
the
Helm
,
and
so
brought
her
safe
to
the
Creek
;
that
the
Persons
which
the
Master
pretends
were
employ'd
by
himself
,
went
not
on
board
until
the
next
morning
;
and
had
not
Mr.
Orpen
defended
her
from
the
Rabble
,
they
had
torn
her
to
pieces
;
That
the
Seamen
broke
open
the
Hatches
,
and
made
havock
of
the
Indigo
,
and
of
the
best
of
the
Goods
.
There
were
14
Witnesses
more
on
the
Traversers
behalves
;
but
Bryen
Kelly
being
snubb'd
in
Court
by
the
high
Sh.
for
giving
any
Evidence
in
favour
of
the
Traversers
,
and
the
rest
of
Mr.
Orpen's
Witnesses
being
frighted
by
the
Warrant
for
the
pretended
Felony
,
they
held
their
Tongues
,
for
fear
that
Mr.
Bl.
whom
they
suspected
had
contrived
to
have
them
thus
falsly
accused
,
should
with
no
less
just
prosecution
prevail
to
have
them
Arraigned
and
Tryed
for
their
Lives
;
fore-thinking
that
whoever
had
gone
so
far
into
such
a
Ford
,
would
leave
nothing
unattempted
to
wade
quite
thorow
,
to
the
utter
Ruine
,
if
not
of
their
Persons
,
at
least
of
their
Purses
.
By
thus
much
you
may
plainly
perceive
,
how
far
the
Presents
made
by
the
Master
had
prevailed
:
And
though
the
Lord
chief
Justice
gave
him
such
a
scope
of
delivering
himself
,
as
might
satisfie
the
World
that
all
Gates
were
open
for
Strangers
to
come
before
his
Lordship
for
Justice
;
yet
the
whole
Court
took
notice
how
he
fetter'd
himself
in
his
own
Discourse
:
For
being
ask'd
by
his
Lordship
why
he
refused
the
Assistance
of
a
great
appendix
page
30
many
English
and
their
boats
,
and
would
not
suffer
them
to
bring
off
his
Ship
?
He
answered
,
That
't
was
a
most
dismal
stormy
night
,
and
so
dark
,
that
a
man
could
not
see
his
hand
.
Whereupon
Mr
Orpen
cry'd
out
for
an
Almanack
,
and
proved
it
to
be
full
Moon
,
and
the
Witnesses
proved
it
a
appendix
page
30
most
Glorious
calm
Night
,
and
that
the
Ship
fleeted
every
Tyde
;
and
against
his
alledging
that
she
had
five
foot
water
in
her
when
she
struck
first
,
'T
was
prov'd
,
that
she
was
tyght
,
and
that
the
Water
stunk
,
being
the
infallible
Sign
that
there
was
no
manner
of
leak
;
whereto
he
reply'd
,
appendix
page
30
(
for
want
of
other
excuse
)
That
the
Sugar
made
it
stink
;
The
like
reason
was
never
heard
before
,
for
Sugar
in
divers
things
is
as
great
a
Preservative
as
Salt
;
and
where
it
is
so
much
less
than
any
liquid
Body
,
as
that
it
cannot
reach
to
a
Syrup
or
Conserve
,
(
if
it
does
at
least
to
a
relish
)
it
never
fails
to
set
it
upon
the
ferment
,
even
altho
'
it
were
the
very
worst
of
Sugars
:
These
and
such-like
Absurdities
were
past
by
in
Court
,
without
any
manner
of
Correction
or
Carp
,
he
being
a
Stranger
.
But
the
Jury
soon
returned
to
the
Court
with
two
Verdicts
to
this
Indictment
;
First
,
That
Crump
was
not
Guilty
of
any
thing
,
but
Orpen
was
Guilty
of
the
whole
Cargo
,
except
the
Lyme
Juice
,
though
indicted
only
at
the
Suit
of
Peter
Row
for
two
Hogsheads
of
Sugar
and
eight
of
Lyme
Juice
;
Secondly
,
That
he
was
Guilty
of
two
Hogshe●ds
of
Sugar
,
and
no
more
;
Though
it
doth
not
appear
by
the
Examination
of
Peter
Row
,
or
any
other
Examination
taken
hitherto
,
that
Peter
Row
ever
had
any
Sugar
in
that
Ship
;
but
Mr.
Orpen
told
the
Court
that
he
hop't
that
one
Verdict
was
Sufficient
to
one
Indictment
;
whereto
the
Sh.
answered
,
Another
time
,
Mr.
Orpen
,
another
time
.
But
the
Witnesses
for
Mr.
Orpen
,
appendix
page
32
who
were
brought
in
for
the
pre●en●
Felony
,
appendix
page
34
were
not
indicted
nor
question'd
.
Though
there
appendix
page
35
wanted
not
mallice
enough
to
do
it
;
yet
Mr.
Orpen
appendix
page
32
(
by
reason
that
his
wittnesses
were
Snubb'd
and
Frighted
)
had
no
manner
of
liberty
for
a
fair
Tryal
,
by
which
means
the
Court
Remained
misinform'd
of
the
whole
affair
.
And
observe
how
eagerly
they
follow
these
irregular
proceedings
.
The
Master
,
Captain
Gregory
,
Major
Steers
,
&c.
met
together
soon
afterwards
in
Dublin
,
and
upon
their
consult
,
a
Writ
mark'd
ten
thousand
pounds
,
was
taken
out
of
the
Kings
Bench
against
Mr.
Orpen
,
at
the
Masters
Suit
;
so
that
he
that
was
lately
but
principal
Evidence
,
is
now
made
Plaintiff
.
Consider
how
naturally
the
Master
Swore
at
the
Tryal
to
carry
on
a
cause
wherein
he
design'd
that
himself
should
be
Plaintiff
afterwards
;
Mark
that
,
with
the
Rest
.
But
least
Bail
should
be
given
in
to
the
Action
,
they
prepared
another
Expedient
,
(
being
the
last
Shift
common
to
turbulent
Spirits
)
That
is
,
to
Accuse
a
man
falsly
into
some
plot
or
conspiracy
against
the
Government
,
which
they
intended
should
admit
of
no
Bail
.
Thereby
to
plague
him
further
with
Imprisonment
and
Expence
,
until
he
could
obtain
a
Tryal
.
And
the
better
to
accomplish
this
barbarous
design
,
they
passed
by
the
late
Commission
o●
Oyer
and
Terminer
,
and
framed
a
new
and
a
mos●
unnatural
Accusation
against
him
,
viz.
That
h●
had
Traiterously
contrived
the
Burning
of
(
his
Father-in-law's
)
Mr.
Palmer
's
House
;
and
in
orde●
thereunto
they
procured
a
Warrant
of
Treason
,
from
one
of
the
Judges
of
the
said
Kings
Bench
,
against
him
.
And
in
fine
,
the
Sh.
made
him
Prisone●
upon
the
writ
and
the
warrant
,
and
for
the
further
suppression
of
Justice
,
and
to
carry
on
their
design●
against
him
with
the
more
facility
,
they
have
provided
fresh
warrants
of
Felony
to
hamper
an●
at
will
to
aw
all
those
who
they
think
may
serve
as
witnesses
for
him
,
and
have
promised
great
rewards
to
such
as
will
swear
on
their
side
.
While
he
is
in
custody
,
their
Agent
is
very
buisie
about
taking
away
all
the
goods
that
were
saved
,
and
the
Sh.
stands
by
to
grant
Replevins
,
if
in
case
that
any
of
the
goods
should
be
stopt
for
Salvage
.
But
to
make
sure
work
,
and
to
prevent
Orpen's
bringing
Actions
against
the
same
,
he
is
hurryd
away
by
the
Sh.
and
their
Agent
hurrys
the
goods
away
as
fast
,
without
giving
Mr.
Orpen
any
manner
of
satisfaction
for
saving
the
Ship
and
goods
;
Notwithstanding
that
its
plainly
proved
,
that
all
had
been
lost
had
not
he
and
his
men
taken
upon
them
to
save
and
defend
the
same
as
appears
under
the
hands
and
appendix
page
10
●aths
of
those
very
people
whom
the
Master
appendix
page
15
pretends
were
employed
by
himself
,
and
turned
appendix
page
16
●ut
by
Mr.
Orpen
,
and
by
the
oaths
not
only
of
appendix
page
17
●he
most
indifferent
or
mean
people
,
but
likewise
appendix
page
22
of
the
most
credible
Gentlemen
of
that
appendix
page
26
Country
,
against
whom
we
may
hear
peradventure
that
Warrants
of
Felony
will
be
issu'd
,
●nd
others
Tamper'd
with
,
as
soon
as
it
's
un●erstood
that
they
can
evidence
for
Mr.
Orpen
.
And
that
this
is
no
more
than
what
has
been
●lready
Attempted
,
will
appear
by
the
following
Affidavit
.
Edward
Dunigan
of
Nedeen
in
the
County
of
Kerry
,
Yeoman
,
came
before
me
this

they
could

●n

,
taken
up
and
thrown

And
●aith

't
was
reckon'd
at

.
And
saith
that
this
De●onent
reacht
it
to
one

Mabury
,
who

and
this
Deponent
believes
,
the
said
Mabury
did
then
deliver
the
said
Lump
unto
the
said
Mr.
Myars
.
And
saith
,
that
presently
afterwards
the
said
Myars
call'd
to
this
Deponent
and
askt
him
(
after
he
had
shew'd
the
said
Lump
to
this
Deponent
)
Was
that
the
same
that
was
taken
up
by
him
this
Deponent
within
the
burnt
walls
of
Mr.
Palmers
house
,
which
he
had
delivered
to
Mr.
Mabury
?
This
Deponent
told
the
said
Mr.
Myars
,
That
it
was
the
the
same
;
Mr.
Myars
askt
him
again
,
Was
he
sure
of
it
?
This
Deponent
answered
,
that
he
was
sure
of
it
.
But
,
said
Mr.
Myars
again
,
Can
you
take
your
Oath
that
it
is
the
same
?
This
Deponent
Repli'd
,
he
could
;
And
this
Deponent
doth
still
say
,
that
he
is
very
well
assured
that
the
piece
or
lump
which
was
shewed
him
by
Mr.
Myars
was
the
same
which
this
Deponent
had
reacht
and
delivered
unto
William
Mabury
at
the
burnt
Walls
aforesaid
,
on
the
said
31
of
January
,
and
that
he
this
Deponent
knew
it
by
some
remarkable
Specks
which
were
on
the
upper
side
thereof
;
And
this
Deponent
further
saith
,
that
one
James
Barret
came
to
this
Deponent
,
and
tempted
this
Deponent
to
Swear
,
That
the
Lump
which
the
Deponent
Saw
with
the
said
Mr.
Myars
,
was
not
the
same
which
the
Deponent
had
formerly
delivered
to
the
said
Mabury
.
The
Deponent
told
him
,
That
't
was
a
hard
matter
for
any
man
to
do
it
:
The
said
Barret
told
the
Deponent
,
That
Captain
Gregory
,
Governour
of
Ross-Castle
,
and
Mr.
Bland
,
the
Minister
of
Killarny
,
had
sent
him
to
this
Deponent
,
and
to
assure
him
that
if
he
would
but
swear
that
it
was
not
the
same
Lump
,
he
this
Deponent
should
have
Twenty
Pounds
.
But
the
Deponent
told
him
,
That
for
a
Thousand
Pounds
he
could
not
do
it
.
And
the
Deponent
saith
,
That
one
Thomas
Hely
did
likewise
tempt
the
Deponent
in
the
same
manner
;
and
saith
,
that
the
said
Hely
told
him
,
that
Mr.
Bland
had
sent
him
to
give
him
Twenty
Pounds
,
if
he
would
but
swear
that
the
Lump
which
the
said
Mr.
Myars
had
from
Mabury
,
was
not
the
same
Lump
which
the
Deponent
had
formerly
delivered
unto
the
said
Mabury

J
;
Blenerhaffet
,
This
Affidavit
is
a
Sample
of
the
contrivances
now
on
foot
concerning
a
wedge
of
Gold
,
which
Mr.
Myars
pretends
he
threw
aside
under
the
bed
when
the
Toryes
entred
the
house
;
and
by
the
Philosophers
Stone
revers'd
was
turned
into
Brass
.
But
whether
he
threw
it
there
or
not
,
there
was
a
lump
of
Metal
taken
up
among
the
rubbish
,
and
being
delivered
to
M.
Myars
,
he
did
at
several
times
in
the
hearing
of
several
Gentlemen
,
own
and
declare
that
it
was
the
same
lump
or
wedge
which
he
had
throwne
by
,
and
described
it
by
the
colour
,
shape
,
and
size
,
and
by
several
private
marks
,
and
particularly
by
two
specks
or
bubbles
upon
the
upper
surface
thereof
;
Now
whether
he
left
any
such
lump
there
as
he
pretends
;
or
whether
he
would
not
,
if
he
thought
't
were
Gold
,
have
laid
his
Challenge
to
any
lump
,
were
it
the
right
one
or
no
;
or
whether
,
if
it
were
the
right
one
,
he
had
not
a
mind
to
deceive
the
right
owner
of
it
,
and
so
caused
a
counterfeit
to
be
made
afterwards
;
or
whether
he
was
cheated
in
Jamaica
,
is
yet
a
question
;
But
it
admitts
of
this
discourse
,
that
it
's
very
manifest
that
the
piece
or
lump
which
was
delivered
by
Mr.
Mabury
to
Mr.
Myars
,
carryed
the
several
marks
and
specks
upon
the
upper-side
or
upper
surface
,
as
the
true
piece
had
,
which
is
indeed
an
infallible
assurance
(
if
Mr.
Myars
description
were
true
)
that
it
is
the
right
piece
,
be
it
Gold
,
Brass
,
or
any
other
Metal
whatever
;
For
though
its
in
the
power
of
any
ordinary
capacity
that
can
run
Metals
,
to
imitate
in
some
sort
in
the
bottom
sides
or
ends
of
the
Counterfeit
the
marks
of
the
true
Piece
,
yet
the
specks
,
or
bubbles
,
or
any
other
mark
upon
the
upper
surface
,
are
accidentals
in
casting
,
(
and
in
a
coat
as
different
from
the
rest
,
as
the
upper
countenance
of
a
Pann-pudding
differeth
from
every
part
of
the
Geometricall
superficies
of
the
sides
and
bottom
)
and
not
to
be
imitated
by
the
best
of
Artists
;
and
for
further
satisfaction
in
this
point
,
Enquire
at
all
the
Laboratories
and
Founderies
within
Humane
management
,
and
they
will
tell
you
that
it
s
as
impossible
to
raise
(
ad
libitum
)
a
single
bubble
or
two
(
or
more
properly
hony-comb
)
of
exact
shape
and
place
upon
the
upper
surface
(
that
side
only
in
such
flat
castings
being
lyable
to
this
kind
of
windy
sputter
)
as
it
is
in
the
power
of
a
Physician
to
lay
a
well
man
to
bedd
and
bring
a
small
pox
through
his
Skin
in
exact
numbers
where
and
when
he
pleases
;
and
what
man
will
take
two
pails
of
water
of
equal
Cylinder
and
Depth
,
and
having
set
out
upon
the
margins
the
32
points
with
their
Aliquots
,
and
by
the
plounce
of
a
Pebble-stone
having
raised
a
bubble
accidentally
in
one
of
the
pails
,
shall
afterwards
undertake
that
in
the
dropping
a
thousand
pebbles
more
into
the
other
pail
,
to
raise
a
single
bubble
of
exact
shape
point
and
distance
from
the
Center
,
with
the
former
?
And
if
he
ever
accomplisheth
it
,
he
may
afterwards
say
that
its
a
thousand
times
more
impossible
to
raise
(
ad
libitum
)
in
any
Counterfeit
a
hony
comb
of
exact
depth
,
shape
,
and
place
,
with
the
copy
.
Notwithstanding
that
Ca.
Greg.
and
Mr.
Bl.
were
unsuccessfull
in
their
adventure
if
they
designed
to
lay
out
their
twenty
pounds
a
piece
with
Edward
Dunigan
for
this
intended
subornation
,
which
in
some
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
among
some
sort
of
folks
,
migh●
perhaps
have
purchased
a
Post-knight
for
every
pound
,
especially
when
a
poor
man
is
threatned
to
be
hang'd
if
he
refuses
to
swear
what
is
desired
;
yet
they
were
cautious
of
laying
out
their
money
with
every
man
,
being
as
supposed
only
in
trust
for
the
Master
and
Passengers
,
who
perhaps
would
not
allow
of
the
charge
,
unless
they
saw
the
value
thereof
in
good
Thundering
Oaths
,
such
as
would
lay
to
the
ground
all
whom
they
had
designed
for
the
slaughter
,
to
save
their
own
Credits
;
so
that
not
above
two
or
three
of
the
Country
are
yet
got
to
Swear
,
upon
this
particular
;
one
being
a
Black-Smith
,
and
a
very
boon
Companion
at
the
Pot
and
Noggin
,
and
has
often
joined
with
the
Minister
Fervently
in
that
sort
,
and
sometimes
it
has
been
observed
that
a
few
Pots
of
Ale
shall
prevail
more
with
a
drunken
Fellow
,
than
Twenty
Pounds
with
another
.
This
Fellow
has
sworn
,
as
it
's
said
,
That
Mr.
Mabury
ask'd
him
,
Could
he
cast
a
Piece
of
Brass
of
some
certain
size
or
shape
,
which
would
serve
his
turn
?
Or
to
that
effect
.
But
this
Affidavit
being
a
very
slight
one
,
its
supposed
to
be
no
more
than
the
price
of
some
small
Reckoning
at
the
Alehouse
.
But
if
he
swears
thus
far
it self
for
nothing
,
or
in
Forma
Pauperis
,
what
will
his
Affidavit
be
,
when
the
Minister
shall
receive
Orders
from
his
Owners
to
lay
out
the
Twenty
Pounds
?
Do
they
play
upon
the
Easiness
of
his
soft
Temper
?
Or
will
they
use
him
as
the
Blind
do
a
Staff
,
which
they
thrust
out
before
them
to
grope
out
their
way
among
the
Sloughs
,
to
save
their
Feet
from
the
Mire
,
and
their
Heads
from
knocking
against
the
Walls
?
And
though
that
the
many
Allegations
and
Assertions
herein
mentioned
,
can
be
proved
by
divers
good
Gentlemen
,
Yet
to
avoid
too
great
a
volumn
at
present
,
take
only
this
Small
Appendix
as
a
relish
of
what
the
whole
Country
ar●
Eye
wittnesses
of
,
and
can
manifest
to
be
true
,
whilest
his
Enemyes
are
in
the
mean
time
,
contriving
by
their
dark
devices
,
to
take
away
Mr.
Orpen's
life
;
for
no
less
then
that
,
can
be
lookt
upon
as
Satisfaction
,
for
such
soul
Crimes
whereof
he
stands
now
accused
;
But
their
Mountain-belly'd
conceptions
ended
only
in
an
abortive
Mouse
,
for
having
brought
him
Seven-Score
miles
in
custody
upon
this
Warrant
of
Treason
into
the
Court
of
Kings
Bench
,
Mr.
Myars
was
there
present
,
and
made
no
less
violent
prosecution
against
him
,
then
Mr.
Bl.
had
done
formerly
against
the
14
Wittnesses
upon
the
pretended
Felony
,
who
after
they
were
apprehended
and
brought
in
,
had
not
a
word
to
say
against
them
:
But
Mr.
Myars
took
an
occasion
to
slip
away
immediately
out
of
Court
,
and
so
out
of
the
Kingdom
;
Leaving
the
Judges
of
the
Land
to
consider
the
horridness
of
his
Judaical
Informations
;
Tu
fixo
aculeo
fugis
:
and
so
the
Treason
came
to
nothing
,
save
that
Mr.
Myars
Savour'd
[
of
a
False
Informer
]
in
the
nostrills
of
common
Justice
.
'
T
was
the
Boy
's
ambition
to
rule
the
Equiferos
;
and
the
Jew
would
be
the
man
should
punish
the
great
Malefactor
;
the
Butcher
that
should
bring
the
mad
Bull
to
the
Ring
,
the
Copped-Crown-Goose
to
pen
up
the
Fox
;
But
should
the
due
merit
of
the
matter
come
to
his
Ears
,
then
his
Caravan
of
pretty
Girles
would
rock
this
Son
of
Clymene
in
his
Phaetontical
Chariot
,
and
so
tumble
him
down
with
a
vengeance
,
in
the
name
of
him
that
sent
him
,
In
quo
quis
pe●cat
in
eodem
punietur
:
O
the
powerful
ingenuity
of
a
Jew
,
when
the
same
is
mixt
with
the
Tipto-wit
of
a
Jesuitish
Master
,
Envigoratly
boyl'd
up
to
a
Scum
by
a
Sh.
a
Capt.
and
a
Minister
.
But
every
one
to
his
Trade
;
and
had
Major
Steers
revised
this
Juramentum
of
the
Jew
with
as
much
Judgment
in
the
Oeconomy
of
a
Navy
,
as
he
has
in
extending
of
a
Tenterhookt
Examination
,
he
had
questionless
,
by
the
Shooing
—
horn
of
his
practice
,
fitted
it
on
to
the
design
with
an
exquisite
adaptness
:
But
as
it
is
now
,
't
is
so
extravagantly
too
wide
for
the
pretty
designing
Foot
of
the
little
Ulyssis
,
that
a
Gigantick
Polyphemus
may
jump
into
it
with
both
Feet
at
once
;
and
it
's
past
Work
for
a
Cobler
now
.
Lest
his
great
Provocations
might
carry
Mr.
Orpen
into
insufficient
Arguments
,
as
to
his
own
Vindication
.
or
into
less
becoming
words
as
to
the
Authors
of
his
Sufferings
,
he
shew'd
his
Pape●
to
several
of
his
Friends
;
one
whereof
sent
him
the
following
Letter
.
SIR
,
I
Take
as
a
Favour
your
permitting
me
the
sight
〈◊〉
your
Papers
,
which
I
have
read
with
all
the
Care
〈◊〉
could
;
and
to
answer
the
confidence
you
have
put
i●
my
Friendship
and
Judgment
,
I
have
made
a
few
Alterations
in
some
Words
and
Phrases
;
I
hope
that
none
of
th●
Army
,
any
more
then
the
London
Masters
,
can
take
ill
you●
defending
your self
;
especially
while
you
do
it
so
directly
against
a
particular
enemy
only
.
But
I
have
also
made
a●
Asterisk
(
*
)
where
I
would
have
you
consider
whethe●
somewhat
more
caution
should
not
be
used
in
Speaking
of
Mr.
Bl.
so
indefinitely
as
you
do
sometimes
,
by
the
Appel●ations
of
Parson
and
Minister
,
looking
like
a
reflection
●on
his
Order
,
no
less
then
Himself
;
It
s
wonderfull
to
me
why
these
Gentlemen
should
drive
at
you
with
such
an
impetuous
flood
of
Iniuryes
,
for
the
good
Services
you
have
done
;
I
hope
that
what
I
attempted
to
do
you
in
this
small
instance
,
may
be
Acceptable
,
because
I
am
willing
to
be
esteemed
,
SIR
,
Your
Obliged
Friend
and
Servant
,
R.
T.
The
Answer
.
SIR
,
THis
Morning
I
had
the
favour
of
yours
;
what
I
have
said
,
is
but
the
flash
of
my
Pan
,
for
(
since
I
conceive
my self
reciprocally
obliged
to
draw
them
to
the
Life
on
horseback
,
that
would
paint
me
a
Prodigie
upon
all
four
)
I
have
writ
a
more
profess'd
account
of
this
whole
matter
which
I
may
publish
after
my
Tryal
,
to
embalm
my
reputation
against
my
Enemyes
putrid
Vapours
,
which
may
be
an
Oyntment
that
none
of
their
Ven●mous
Flyes
will
dare
lick
of
;
With
a
Series
of
my
owne
Services
and
Sufferings
;
Another
shall
●e
,
The
Privateers
Packet
Boat
,
or
the
Magne●ick
Influence
of
an
Ensured
Ship
,
upon
a
Py●ats
Light
,
&c.
very
usefull
for
the
times
.
They
that
accused
my
Wittnesses
for
Felony
,
and
my self
for
Treason
,
having
plaid
Bo-Peep
with
●he
Government
and
the
Laws
,
whereby
I
live
,
may
oppress
me
too
;
Sed
nemo
me
impune
Lacessit
;
If
I
am
hurt
by
popular
Rage
;
I
am
not
the
first
;
I
,
that
have
received
Good
things
,
must
be
content
to
take
my
share
of
the
Evill
also
;
If
stormes
of
Injustice
for
pretended
Felonyes
and
Treasons
,
or
other
vexations
,
should
continue
,
I
shall
admire
at
the
long
suffering
of
God
,
and
Sing
Evigila
Domine
,
quare
Dormires
,
&c.
But
the
Judges
who
will
understand
the
Justness
of
my
Cause
by
the
true
Harmony
of
my
Clamours
;
will
be
Just
,
when
many
dare
not
venture
to
be
so
.
You
have
perus'd
my
Narrative
,
and
yet
you
wonder
at
my
Enemyes
impetuousness
against
me
;
Don't
you
plain●y
perceive
that
its
mostly
for
these
three
Reasons
?
First
,
Because
I
have
saved
what
they
had
resolved
to
destroy
,
whereby
they
are
exposed
for
ever
.
Secondly
,
They
would
revengfully
deprive
me
of
my
Salvage
,
which
after
all
their
Juggles
,
will
be
allow'd
me
by
the
Law
;
Since
that
the
Ship
and
the
Salvable
part
of
the
Goods
are
Saved
Thirdly
,
They
would
prevent
my
having
any
Publique
Employment
;
but
they
are
highly
mistaken
;
for
I
desire
none
,
while
any
of
these
are
to
be
my
Yoak-fellows
.
I
owne
my self
highly
obliged
for
your
kind
Remark
(
*
)
But
when
it
s
understood
how
nearly
I
am
related
to
more
then
a
few
Ministers
;
I
presume
that
it
will
not
be
easy
to
win
any
man
to
believe
,
That
I
mean
reflection
on
their
Order
;
I
,
that
have
suffer'd
so
greatly
for
the
Protestant
Religion
,
shall
(
with
due
submission
)
for
ever
have
an
Honour
and
regard
to
the
Teachers
in
that
Faith
,
whereby
I
hope
,
after
this
Life
,
to
possess
a
Heavenly
Mansion
,
in
a
fuller
perfection
then
the
Tongue
of
Man
can
express
:
I
mean
no
other
,
then
in
particular
Himself
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
for
too
much
abusing
the
Order
by
his
uncooth
behaviour
in
and
out
of
his
drink
;
sometimes
taking
upon
him
the
mean
Office
;
that
is
,
What
would
you
say
,
if
he
hath
in
person
executed
the
Sherifs
Warrants
?
Since
I
averr
it
,
that
he
hath
made
a
Gentleman
prisoner
at
the
Suit
of
another
:
and
that
some
of
his
Parishoners
have
slighted
the
Church
,
and
dare
not
come
to
the
Holy
Communion
,
for
fear
of
being
Clap't
upon
the
Shoulder
by
the
Ghostly
Father
.
So
that
as
for
Mr.
Bl.
and
the
Jew
,
or
any
other
Professors
,
who
Labour
by
such
indirect
methods
to
be
what
they
would
be
,
and
so
manifestly
abuse
what
they
should
be
,
I
would
have
it
known
,
that
I
contemn
them
,
and
do
not
in
the
least
fear
the
consequences
of
declaring
it
;
I
have
no
such
guilt
as
may
compel
me
to
daub
with
any
such
persons
,
and
do
call
to
God
and
all
good
men
for
Judgment
.
And
by
London-Master
,
in
the
Title-page
,
Mr.
Lyel
only
is
singled
at
,
for
his
singular
Skill
in
Augur-holes
;
I
have
had
the
good
fortune
of
being
acquainted
with
many
of
the
London-Masters
,
and
understood
them
to
be
Gentlemen
of
good
Reason
and
Sence
,
and
most
able
Artists
,
and
too
ingenious
●o
imagine
that
ever
I
should
designe
the
least
.
Derision
or
Reflection
upon
any
of
them
.
But
why
should
you
think
that
any
of
the
Army
would
resent
my
holding
of
Cap.
Gregorye's
Glass
before
him
?
I
am
confident
,
I
stand
well
with
them
,
or
at
least
with
so
many
as
know
me
;
for
when
I
was
employed
by
his
Grace
the
late
Duke
of
Schomberg
,
and
afterwards
by
the
Government
to
command
the
Artillary-shipping
,
I
kept
the
Coast
to
and
fro
,
as
the
Army
advanced
and
retired
,
during
the
late
War
,
and
furnished
them
duely
from
Sea
;
and
so
I
did
the
Sea-port
Garrisons
;
which
I
performed
from
time
to
time
,
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Government
,
and
the
Generall
Officers
,
as
by
their
ample
Certificats
may
appear
;
I
don't
Remember
that
I
have
said
,
or
meant
any
thing
that
even
malice
it self
can
wrest
,
to
the
disrelish
of
the
meanest
Just
Man
in
the
Kings
pay
;
But
if
a
particular
Cap.
or
so
,
should
come
obstreperously
in
my
way
,
with
design
to
have
me
beaten
out
into
a
Whim-wham
for
a
Horse-Mill
;
I
hope
that
others
of
the
Army
will
not
judge
me
rude
at
the
Table
,
if
I
hold
the
Brimmer
to
his
Nose
,
and
make
him
drink
as
himself
has
brew'd
.
I
am
sorry
I
cannot
alter
any
thing
pursuant
to
your
wholsom
Counsell
;
However
I
heartily
acknowledg
your
kind
Caution
,
and
subscribe
,
SIR
,
Your
truly
Affectionate
Friend
and
Servant
,
R.
O.
To
R.
T.
Esq
;
DUring
the
whole
Transaction
hitherto
,
an
Examination
of
Jacob
Myars
,
the
Jew
,
taken
before
the
Honourable
Sr.
Henry
Ecclin
,
one
of
the
Barrons
of
Their
Majesties
Court
of
Exchequer
in
Ireland
,
upon
the
7th
of
March
1693
,
was
kept
private
from
Mr.
Orpen
until
about
the
last
of
May
following
,
that
the
Copy
thereof
came
to
his
hands
from
his
friend
in
London
.
The
reason
of
this
great
privacy
,
was
,
because
the
same
contained
the
main
grounds
of
incensing
the
Government
;
and
Mr.
Orpen
was
not
to
know
the
Contents
thereof
,
least
he
should
too
early
Answer
it
,
and
so
ruine
a
Design
yet
in
Embryo
,
before
it
had
received
its
birth
into
the
world
.
Here
you
have
that
most
abominable
Examination
in
its
distinct
Paragraphs
,
with
the
several
Remarks
inherent
thereto
,
respecttively
,
Viz.
I.
This
Examinate
saith
,
That
on
the
28
of
January
last
past
,
the
Ship
Laurel
of
London
,
burthen
150
Tunns
,
Captain
Christopher
Lyell
Commander
,
from
Jamaica
,
bound
for
London
,
was
drove
into
the
River
of
Killmare
in
the
County
of
Kerry
,
by
distress
of
weather
,
and
very
heafy
,
that
the
Ships
Crew
could
hardly
perceive
any
land
,
onely
the
tops
of
the
Mountains
.
Answ.
They
were
four
Leagues
to
the
west
of
the
Bull
,
Cow
and
Calfe
,
and
took
them
for
the
Skellox
,
the
wind
at
W.
Was
it
distress
or
design
that
forced
them
into
Killmare
?
she
came
into
the
River
on
the
27th
,
and
Anchored
at
Ross-more
,
about
midway
up
the
River
;
But
the
Examinate
says
nothing
of
cutting
the
Cable
,
and
driving
from
thence
,
and
it
was
on
the
28th
about
7
in
the
Morning
that
she
drove
to
Capanacossy
,
appendix
page
11
near
the
uper
end
of
the
River
;
If
by
chance
the
Examinant
has
mislaid
his
Journall
,
it
s
not
so
high
a
mistake
,
as
when
they
saw
nothing
but
the
tops
of
the
Mountains
;
whereas
its
the
tops
and
upper
parts
of
the
Mountains
that
are
always
mostly
covered
in
heasy
weather
,
in
that
part
of
the
Kingdom
.
Vide
all
the
Historyes
of
Ireland
.
II.
And
in
the
distress
of
weather
,
the
Ship
lost
all
her
sailes
,
so
that
she
could
not
be
steer'd
any
longer
,
and
the
Commander
of
the
said
Ship
,
Crew
and
Passengers
,
hoist
out
the
long
boat
and
row'd
ashore
to
save
their
lives
;
and
on
7
a
clock
the
same
morning
,
they
all
came
ashore
,
and
travell'd
on
the
land
about
two
miles
from
the
place
where
the
Ship
lay
;
and
afterwards
,
found
the
said
Ship
drove
in
among
the
Rocks
.
Answ.
Diametrically
Opposite
,
she
had
all
her
appendix
page
18
Sayles
,
and
very
good
Sayles
too
;
Vide
Affadavits
appendix
page
13
of
Charles
Mansfield
,
John
Kelly
,
&c.
There
appendix
page
24
was
no
danger
of
their
Lives
or
Ship
,
being
got
appendix
page
3
into
quiet
water
,
and
had
they
hoodwinkt
her
,
she
appendix
page
6
had
undoubtedly
followed
after
the
Long-boat
appendix
page
11
into
Black
Water
,
(
right
afore
the
wind
)
a
very
appendix
page
3
good
Harbour
,
which
being
not
for
their
appendix
page
12
purpose
,
they
made
her
look
another
way
;
and
appendix
page
6
contrary
to
their
hopes
,
she
hapened
to
come
ashore
appendix
page
12
at
Capanacossy
upon
easy
ground
,
at
low
water
,
where
she
toucht
no
Rocks
;
but
drove
to
and
appendix
page
6
fro
all
day
,
with
Flood
and
Ebb
,
before
their
faces
,
while
they
made
merry
,
and
beheld
her
appendix
page
12
close
by
them
.
What
means
the
Examinant
by
Where
she
lay
,
for
she
lay
no
where
until
she
drove
to
Cappanacossy
,
two
miles
from
the
place
appendix
page
21
where
they
all
forsook
her
,
where
there
was
water
for
a
Ship
of
three
times
her
burthen
.
What
made
them
forsake
her
in
such
a
place
?
when
appendix
page
6
she
struck
not
in
two
miles
from
it
;
And
being
at
appendix
page
1
low
water
,
she
drove
on
farther
,
along
the
strand
appendix
page
21
for
want
of
dropping
an
Anchor
;
Not
one
word
of
the
Treasure
which
they
brought
and
carryed
appendix
page
13
by
land
to
Cappanacossy
,
and
divided
among
appendix
page
7
themselves
.
III.
That
about
two
of
Clock
in
the
afternoon
the
said
Captain
,
Passengers
,
and
all
the
Crew
,
returned
on
board
;
and
the
said
Captain
being
informed
that
one
Thomas
Palmer
,
Clerk
,
and
Justice
of
peace
in
that
County
,
was
near
him
,
he
wrote
to
him
,
to
desire
his
assistance
and
advice
to
save
him
from
the
Irish
Rabble
;
on
which
the
said
Palmer
immediatly
came
down
&
sent
on
Board
a
Corporal
and
five
Soldiers
,
to
guard
them
,
which
was
all
the
assistance
he
said
he
could
assist
them
with
,
and
advised
them
to
stay
on
Board
,
which
they
accordingly
did
,
the
storm
yet
continuing
.
Answ.
They
returned
not
on
board
until
the
appendix
page
13
Capt.
had
first
writ
,
nor
alter
Mr.
Palmer
came
,
appendix
page
19
untill
he
(
understanding
that
they
had
their
appendix
page
7
Treasure
ashore
with
them
)
told
them
,
that
they
were
in
danger
of
the
Toryes
;
Then
indeed
,
appendix
page
21
they
hastned
into
the
Ship
again
,
which
was
about
Sunset
;
but
dropt
no
Anchor
to
stop
her
,
appendix
page
8
as
she
drove
down
again
with
the
Ebb
;
the
Master
in
his
Letter
seemed
to
be
in
great
distress
,
appendix
page
31
and
that
he
had
not
a
Sail
left
;
would
any
Master
,
if
his
Ship
was
not
in
a
willful
distress
,
stand
appendix
page
13
ashore
,
and
behold
her
all
day
driving
to
and
fro
,
appendix
page
18
and
pretend
he
had
not
a
Saile
left
,
when
she
appendix
page
25
had
all
her
Sails
?
Mr.
Palmer
did
promise
more
asistance
then
the
Corporal
and
five
Soldiers
,
and
appendix
page
29
accordingly
sent
Men
and
Boats
that
evening
appendix
page
19
(
being
fine
and
calm
,
and
not
stormy
,
as
the
Examinant
says
)
But
the
Master
would
not
Suff●r
the
Ship
to
be
brought
off
;
Mr.
Palmer
told
appendix
page
12
them
their
Ship
was
the
best
Garison
in
the
Country
,
and
advised
them
to
stick
to
their
Ship
,
but
appendix
page
8
they
all
forsook
her
again
next
morning
;
Except
the
Master
,
Gunner
,
and
Carpenter
.
IV.
The
next
morning
(
being
the
29th
of
January
)
they
all
thought
it
most
convenient
,
for
the
saving
of
their
lives
and
mony
,
the
Ship
lying
so
very
dangerously
between
the
Rocks
,
that
some
of
them
should
go
ashore
and
carry
the
mony
with
them
to
the
said
Mr
Palmer's
house
;
and
that
accordingly
this
Deponent
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Passengers
,
and
a
few
of
the
Ships
Crew
,
brought
the
mony
ashore
,
about
12
a
clock
,
to
the
said
Mr.
Palmer's
house
at
Needen
,
and
on
the
account
of
the
Captain
and
themselves
,
desired
the
said
Mr.
Palmer
to
shelter
the
same
;
which
did
amount
,
in
pieces
of
Eight
and
Wedges
of
Gold
,
to
the
value
of
2500
l.
or
thereabouts
,
which
he
accordingly
did
.
Answ.
They
must
needs
think
it
convenient
appendix
page
12
to
go
ashore
to
secure
the
Mony
,
when
they
had
appendix
page
3
resolved
to
destroy
the
Ship
;
otherwise
there
appendix
page
1
was
no
danger
of
either
that
or
their
lives
,
upon
easy
ground
and
calm
water
,
and
the
Ship
Fleeting
every
Tyde
;
Does
the
Examinate
call
it
but
a
few
of
the
Ships
Crew
,
when
they
left
but
two
of
the
Crew
on
board
?
And
they
did
not
acquaint
appendix
page
25
Mr.
Palmer
with
the
Treasure
in
the
Chests
,
until
after
the
house
was
burnt
and
Robb'd
.
appendix
page
43
V.
That
the
said
Examinate
was
ordered
by
the
said
Captain
to
desire
the
said
Palmer
to
come
downe
to
the
Ship
,
to
advise
him
the
best
way
for
saving
the
Ship
and
Cargo
;
who
accordingly
went
down
with
one
Mr
Richard
Orpen
his
son-in
law
;
and
sent
the
said
Orpen
on
board
to
advise
with
the
Captain
;
whose
Advice
was
that
the
said
Captain
should
send
his
Gunns
ashore
,
which
he
refused
to
do
,
saying
it
would
disable
him
from
the
common
Enemy
,
(
the
French
)
who
not
long
before
,
had
taken
two
Ships
out
of
that
River
.
Answ.
When
Mr.
Orpen
went
on
board
,
he
try'd
the
Pump
,
and
found
that
the
water
in
the
Ship
was
dirty
and
stunk
,
whereupon
he
told
the
Master
appendix
page
24
his
Ship
was
Tyght
,
and
that
he
would
have
her
off
forthwith
;
and
advised
the
Master
to
prepare
to
put
out
the
heavy
Goods
from
aloft
,
as
her
Guns
,
&c.
But
the
Master
could
not
abide
to
appendix
page
24
hear
of
putting
his
Guns
ashore
,
for
fear
of
the
appendix
page
25
enemy
;
Mr.
Orpen
told
him
that
a
Battery
on
the
shore
,
within
Pistol
Shot
of
the
Ship
,
would
do
much
better
,
and
small
Arms
would
do
much
better
on
board
.
For
the
Enemy
could
not
attack
him
any
way
,
but
in
their
boats
.
But
the
Master
would
not
hearken
to
it
;
Though
his
appendix
page
24
Guns
lay
at
that
time
(
and
so
they
have
ever
since
)
useless
,
heads-and-points
along-Ships
.
Mr.
Orpen
askt
him
about
his
Anchors
,
and
how
he
rid
?
The
Master
answered
,
By
a
small
Kedger
that
appendix
page
21
had
a
Warp
to
it
;
That
his
best
Bower
was
lost
;
That
his
sheet
Anchor
wanted
a
stock
.
Then
Mr.
Orpen
desired
him
to
send
his
Carpenter
a
shore
,
appendix
page
25
to
make
a
stock
,
and
Shewed
him
where
there
was
good
Timber
within
pistol
Shot
of
the
Ship
,
and
that
he
would
set
some
of
the
Country
Carpenters
appendix
page
22
to
work
with
them
,
and
fit
up
a
stock
in
an
hours
time
;
but
the
Master
could
not
abide
appendix
page
24
to
hear
of
it
.
While
they
were
thus
discoursing
;
appendix
page
21
the
Ship
Fleeted
,
which
Mr
Orpen
observed
to
the
Master
,
but
the
Master
(
though
't
was
fine
Weather
)
Excus'd
the
not
getting
her
away
that
appendix
page
24
tyde
,
saying
,
that
all
his
men
(
except
the
Gunner
appendix
page
8
and
Carpenter
)
were
ashore
at
Mr.
Palmer's
.
VI.
That
the
said
Captain
agreed
with
Mr.
Palmer
to
send
him
seven
or
eight
Long
Boats
to
unload
part
of
the
Cargo
,
whereby
the
said
Ship
might
be
lightned
;
and
so
with
the
first
opportunity
of
a
moderate
wind
and
high
water
,
be
got
off
from
the
said
Rocks

Answ.
Mr.
Palmer
without
any
agreement
,
appendix
page
19
onely
his
promise
,
sent
several
Boats
well
mann'd
;
but
the
Master
would
not
suffer
them
to
bring
his
Ship
to
a
safe
harbour
;
but
pack't
them
away
again
as
soon
as
he
understood
that
they
were
resolved
appendix

29
to
save
her
.
And
for
opportunityes
of
appendix

19
Wind
and
Tyde
,
there
wanted
none
;
if

,
and

,
in

mild
Weather
,
were
Opportunityes
;
as
for
Rocks
,
appendix

21
she
toucht
none
,
until
after
the
Master
and
all
had
forsaken
her
,
on
the
30th
of
January
,
and
appendix
page
17
then
the
wind
arose
hard
at
S.
W.
upon
which
opportunity
appendix
page
18
the
Master
made
three
holes
in
her
bottom
,
and
turn'd
her
a
drift
.
VII
.
That
the
Examinate
,
with
the
rest
of
the
passengers
,
and
some
of
the
crew
,
being
in
the
said
Palmers
house
about
12
a
clock
of
night
,
the
Torys
or
Rapparees
came
and
set
the
house
on
fire
upon
them
,
which
as
they
supposed
were
upwards
of
sixty
in
number
,
and
shott
in
upon
them
throw
the
windows
and
doors
,
so
that
they
were
forced
to
rise
out
of
their
beds
and
defended
themselves
about
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
but
the
fierceness
of
the
fire
increased
,
and
they
were
forced
to
break
open
the
doors
to
save
their
lives
,
and
immediatly
the
Torys
entred
the
house
,
brought
out
the
Chest
and
opened
it
,
and
took
all
the
mony
that
was
in
it
;
and
stript
this
Examinate
and
some
of
the
passengers
,
of
their
very
Shirts
,
and
beat
them
extreamly
.
Answ.
Now
when
the
house
was
set
on
fire
and
Robb'd
,
Mr.
Palmer
was
made
to
understand
that
this
great
Treasure
was
brought
into
the
house
appendix
page
43
in
the
Chests
,
but
never
before
;
which
if
they
had
but
told
him
of
sooner
,
he
might
have
saved
all
,
and
prevented
his
owne
ruine
,
there
being
a
party
of
30
Soldiers
quarter'd
contiguous
to
his
house
.
VIII
.
That
on
the
30th
in
the
morning
the
Captain
came
ashore
to
see
what
was
become
of
the
passengers
,
and
left
the
Ship
with
an
Anchor
and
Cable
out
to
keep
her
from
floating
,
and
orderd
the
Carpenter
to
bore
two
or
three
holes
in
the
Bottom
of
her
,
to
hinder
her
from
rising
where
she
lay
,
that
she
might
not
float
and
beat
against
the
Rocks
;
for
by
that
means
the
Ship
would
lye
safe
,
which
was
accordingly
done
,
the
lower
Tyre
of
the
Sugar
being
all
wasted
by
the
leakiness
of
the
Ship
in
her
voyage
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Sugar
lying
high
with
the
Indigo
and
Cotten
,
Ginger
,
and
Logwood
,
Fustick
,
and
Roman
Vittrioll
,
could
come
to
no
damage
by
boring
of
the
holes
.
Answ.
The
Examinant
was
sadly
put
to
it
to
find
an
excuse
for
the
Masters
forsaking
the
Ship
,
To
see
what
was
become
of
the
Passengers
,
as
tho
he
had
past
a
Bill
of
Lading
for
them
,
and
for
fear
he
had
lost
them
,
he
goes
ashore
to
get
a
receipt
for
their
bodyes
,
Leaving
the
whole
Ship
and
Cargo
to
a
Mob
,
whose
mercyes
are
very
crueltyes
,
appendix
page
17
without
riding
her
by
any
Cable
,
Warp
,
or
any
appendix
page
19
thing
whatsoever
;
And
to
prevent
her
driving
,
appendix
page
10
he
caused
the
Warp
whereby
she
rid
,
to
be
slipt
;
And
to
Preserve
the
Sugars
,
Indigo
,
Cotton
,
Vitriol
,
&c.
he
order'd
three
holes
to
be
bor'd
thorow
appendix
page
22
her
bottom
,
as
she
lay
in
three
foot
water
at
low
water
,
and
Flows
12
foot
more
at
high
water
;
the
most
modern
fashion
now
extant
to
preserve
a
rich
Cargo
in
a
Ship
that
is
but
ten
foot
in
the
hold
;
and
the
poor
lower
Tyre
(
forsooth
)
exactly
condemned
as
lost
before
she
came
there
,
appendix
page
22
by
her
leakiness
,
though
the
water
stunk
in
her
appendix
page
3
when
she
arrived
there
.
But
this
was
done
to
prevent
appendix
page
6
her
beating
against
the
Rocks
whereon
she
lay
,
whereas
she
toucht
not
a
Rock
until
after
the
Master
had
turned
her
loose
;
But
if
he
had
been
well
practic'd
in
Water-Clock-work
,
he
might
the
better
have
understood
how
many
inch-and-quarter
augur-holes
,
are
requisite
in
so
many
hours
before
next
high
water
to
fill
the
lower
Tyer
,
if
it
were
empty
,
and
if
he
knew
how
much
the
same
would
contain
;
But
for
want
of
Judgment
in
such
branches
of
the
Mathematicks
,
and
to
avoid
the
exactness
of
the
triplicit
augur-holes
,
you
may
perhaps
hear
,
that
in
his
next
trick
,
he
will
contrive
(
willfully
by
mischance
)
to
have
three
Guns
fired
at
once
thorow
her
hold
,
and
then
he
need
not
doubt
her
speedy
Sinking
.
IX
.
That
the
Captain
advised
with
the
Examinate
who●
they
should
do
to
save
the
said
Ship
and
Cargo
from
the
Rabble
and
Toryes
,
and
thereupon
they
thought
fit
to
desire
O
Sulivan
More
,
Captain
Carthy
,
Mr.
Aldwell
,
and
Mr.
Clark
,
two
English
Protestants
,
to
go
on
board
to
secure
the
said
Ship
and
Cargo
from
the
Toryes
,
O
Sulivan
and
Captain
Carthy
,
of
the
Irish
the
head
in
that
Country
,
and
this
deponent
beleeves
that
by
that
means
to
prevent
the
meaner
sort
from
useing
any
violence
,
That
the
said
four
persons
went
accordingly
on
board
and
promised
to
secure
the
Ship
and
Cargo
,
having
an
order
from
the
Captain
,
and
an
instrument
under
his
hand
to
have
the
one
half
for
the
Salvage
.
Answ.
They
had
it
seems
pack'd
the
Cards
before
they
could
well
hide
the
cheat
,
and
without
appendix
page
21
doubt
advised
with
one
another
in
all
secrecy
appendix
page
10
how
to
make
a
shew
of
innocence
,
and
since
the
appendix
page
15
mony
to
their
greif
was
all
lost
,
and
the
Ship
to
their
disgrace
safe
in
a
Creek
,
It
remained
now
how
to
blind
the
owners
and
the
world
,
that
they
might
not
see
the
mony
carryed
ashore
with
any
other
then
a
harmless
intention
to
save
it
;
and
to
manifest
their
industry
,
he
says
,
that
these
four
persons
employ'd
,
went
aboard
;
But
had
not
Mr.
Orpen
sent
Mr.
Kelly
to
have
them
named
in
the
instrument
for
Salvage
,
as
in
trust
for
him
the
said
Orpen
,
and
as
his
friends
,
It
's
presumed
that
appendix
page
11
the
Master
had
never
thought
of
them
.
But
none
of
the
said
persons
went
on
board
in
that
manner
as
the
Examinat
speaks
of
,
for
Capt.
Carthy
,
and
appendix
page
16
Mr.
Aldwell
went
not
aboard
until
the
next
morning
after
the
Master
had
deserted
her
,
&
until
after
appendix
page
26
the
Ship
was
(
to
his
shame
)
brought
safe
to
the
Creek
by
others
employ'd
under
Mr.
Orpen
;
Mr.
appendix
page
23
Clarke
came
not
near
her
in
ten
days
after
,
O
Sulivan
appendix
page
10
More
knew
not
any
thing
of
the
matter
,
appendix
page
15
and
never
came
at
all
to
her
,
neither
was
he
employed
appendix
page
20
or
desired
by
any
body
whatever
to
be
appendix
page
15
concerned
,
as
appears
by
his
and
the
rest
of
the
appendix

10
Affidavits
.
appendix

X.
That
after
they
went
on
board
,
they
confest
they
found
all
things
in
good
order
save
2
barrels
of
Indigo
which
the
Captain
brought
ashore
,
and
one
hogshead
of
Indigo
,
whereof
some
part
was
taken
out
.
appendix
page
29
Answ.
What
a
confession
is
here
exprest
by
the
Examinat
,
when
that
the
Master
in
open
Court
declared
upon
Oath
,
and
as
you
see
by
the
Affidavits
appendix
page
25
of
several
good
Gentlemen
,
that
there
were
eleven
(
some
barrels
,
some
hogsheads
)
of
appendix
page
4
Indigo
brought
from
Shipboard
along
with
the
appendix
page
5
Master
when
he
forsook
her
,
Every
thing
was
in
appendix
page
10
a
monstrous
good
order
when
the
water
was
within
appendix
page
18
a
foot
and
half
of
the
Beam
,
and
the
Ship
Plundered
appendix
page
21
by
her
own
men
,
and
that
by
the
Examinats
appendix

order
.
XI
.
That
the
same
night
the
said
Orpen
,
and
one
Mr.
Thomas
Crump
along
with
him
,
came
on
board
the
Ship
,
and
demanded
of
the
said
O
Sulivan
More
,
by
what
authority
they
came
on
board
,
who
thereupon
shew'd
them
their
order
from
the
Captain
;
But
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
forced
the
said
order
from
them
,
and
seized
the
said
Ship
and
Cargo
,
the
sa●d
Orpen
for
the
Admiralty
,
and
Crump
for
the
King
;
the
s●id
Orpen
producing
a
Broad
Seal
,
and
turned
the
men
ashore
which
frightned
them
away
.
Answ.
The
Ex●minant
runs
on
with
a
most
chymerical
Concatenation
of
falsityes
;
For
't
was
in
the
morning
that
Orpen
and
Crump
went
on
board
;
and
how
was
O
Sulivan
More
Demanded
appendix
page
16
to
produce
his
order
,
and
how
was
the
same
taken
appendix
page
23
from
him
;
who
never
went
near
the
Ship
and
appendix
page
15
never
was
employed
or
desired
by
any
person
to
appendix
page
10
be
concerned
;
and
how
then
was
O
Sulivan
appendix
page
15
More
turned
ashore
that
never
was
on
board
,
and
appendix
page
26
Mr.
Clark
that
came
not
near
her
until
ten
dayes
appendix
page
16
after
,
and
Mr.
Aldwell
and
Capt.
Carthy
,
who
came
not
till
next
morning
and
were
then
employ'd
by
Mr.
Orpen
to
help
to
save
the
Goods
:
But
now
comes
the
dead
doing
Blow
,
Orpen
for
the
Admiralty
,
and
Crump
for
the
King
,
Seized
the
Ship
;
and
Orpen
shewed
a
Broad
Seal
.
O
Terrible
peice
!
what
necessity
for
a
broad
Seal
after
appendix
page
15
his
People
and
Servants
had
brought
her
safe
to
appendix
page
23
the
Creek
by
virtue
of
the
power
which
the
Master
appendix
page
20
gave
him
the
day
before
?
Neither
did
Orpen
appendix
page
9
perform
one
Ceremony
that
belongs
to
a
Seisure
,
yet
there
was
indeed
an
old
broad
Seal
produced
,
which
was
not
against
any
right
Claymant
,
But
to
encourage
the
men
to
their
arms
,
against
the
appendix
page
23
intruding
Rabble
and
Rapparees
,
as
appears
by
appendix
page
18
Mr.
Orpen's
discourse
to
the
Master
when
he
returned
appendix
page
28
to
her
,
which
was
not
until
3
days
after
she
appendix
page
4
was
brought
into
the
Creek
by
Mr.
Orpen's
men
,
appendix
page
20
who
then
desired
the
Master
to
stay
in
his
Ship
,
and
bring
his
men
to
save
the
Goods
;
adding
appendix
page
5
that
one
Seaman
,
was
worth
five
Landmen
upon
appendix
page
20
such
Service
,
but
the
Master
thereupon
hastned
away
all
his
men
out
of
the
Country
.
XII
.
That
when
they
left
the
Ship
they
gave
charge
to
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
to
take
care
of
the
goods
being
in
the
condition
they
found
them
in
as
aforesaid
,
and
then
went
to
the
Captain
,
and
gave
him
an
account
of
what
was
done
,
who
the
next
morning
,
with
several
of
his
men
,
went
a
board
and
demanded
the
reason
of
their
proceedings
.
But
they
turned
the
Captain
and
his
men
ashore
,
and
quite
dispossest
him
,
having
seized
her
as
aforesaid
;
The
Captain
charged
them
to
take
care
of
her
,
and
not
to
imbezle
the
Cargo
on
board
,
for
that
they
should
be
accountable
for
it
and
their
proceedings
.
But
they
answerd
him
that
he
needed
not
to
concern
himself
,
he
neither
had
nor
should
have
any
thing
to
do
with
it
.
appendix
page
15
Answ.
He
goes
on
still
with
the
same
thred
appendix
page
16
of
his
first
spinning
;
when
did
O
Sulivan
More
appendix
page
26
and
Mr.
Clark
leave
the
Ship
,
that
were
not
near
appendix
page
16
her
,
and
when
did
Captain
Carthy
and
Mr.
Aldwel
leave
her
,
that
went
not
aboard
till
after
she
was
safe
in
the
Creek
,
and
were
employed
all
along
by
Mr.
Orpen
;
and
the
Master
went
not
to
the
Ship
in
the
morning
,
but
in
the
afternoon
,
being
the
third
day
after
he
had
deserted
her
;
neither
had
he
of
his
men
along
with
him
any
more
then
the
Gunner
,
who
was
one
of
the
principal
Caballers
about
boring
the
holes
;
and
though
the
Examinate
says
that
they
were
quite
dispossest
;
It
s
manifest
they
were
earnestly
intreated
,
appendix
page
5
especially
the
Master
,
to
stay
on
board
and
appendix
page
21
bring
all
his
Men
to
help
to
work
;
but
he
would
not
be
advised
,
which
is
directly
contrary
to
what
the
Examinat
swears
.
It
s
true
he
attended
so
long
appendix
page
21
as
while
he
filled
about
half
a
dozen
baggs
with
the
best
Sugars
,
and
carryed
the
same
with
him
to
his
quarters
.
XIII
.
That
the
next
day
this
deponent
saw
several
hundred
horse-loads
coming
from
the
said
Ship
,
loaded
with
part
of
the
Cargo
belonging
to
the
said
Ship
,
by
the
said
Orpen
and
Crumps
order
;
and
this
Examinat
sayth
,
that
he
was
told
by
several
who
bought
thereof
,
that
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
disposed
and
sold
the
said
goods
to
every
one
that
would
buy
.
Answ.
T
is
very
probable
that
the
Examinate
saw
some
horses
,
but
not
one
hundred
,
laden
with
the
Ships
goods
;
The
greatest
part
whereof
appendix
page
23
were
with
goods
sold
and
disposed
by
her
appendix
page
29
own
men
,
and
some
were
laden
away
with
appendix
page
18
Logwood
to
the
store
houses
appointed
by
Mr.
appendix
page
20
Orpen
,
and
others
carryed
away
the
Sugar
in
great
quantityes
,
which
the
Master
gave
them
while
he
was
aboard
.
But
it
s
not
in
the
power
of
man
to
say
that
Orpen
or
Crump
sold
a
penny
worth
of
the
whole
Cargo
,
though
hundred●
will
prove
that
the
Master
,
Passengers
,
and
seamen
,
appendix
page
2
made
havock
thereof
to
every
one
that
would
appendix
page
23
buy
,
and
never
exceeded
Robin-hoods
penny

And
the
said
Crump
being
Officer
for
the
King
,
forgave
the
buyers
the
duty
and
discharged
them
thereof
;
and
also
gave
them
Permitts
,
and
that
the
said
Crump
and
Orpen
sent
eight
horse-load
of
the
said
goods
(
as
this
Examinat
is
inform'd
)
to
Kinsale
to
Captain
John
Waller
Deputy
Governour
of
Charles-fort
.
Answ.
What
paines
would
not
the
Examinat
undertake
to
out
the
Kings
officer
,
or
any
one
that
had
a
hand
in
saving
what
they
would
have
destroy'd
;
at
length
he
performs
it
with
this
most
execrable
assertion
,
that
he
had
forgiven
the
Kings
duty
,
and
gave
Permits
,
the
onely
taking
thing
to
turne
him
our
,
who
was
never
guilty
of
any
such
behaviour
,
and
before
the
Wars
was
employ'd
for
20
Years
together
,
and
for
his
faithfullness
and
integrity
,
was
in
very
great
esteem
with
his
Superior
Officers
;
Nor
does
the
Examinat
regard
how
he
bespatters
any
person
of
what
worth
or
quality
soever
to
rid
himself
and
Crew
of
that
indelible
spatter
which
they
will
never
be
rid
of
;
The
Lt.
Governour
of
Charles-Fort
,
who
is
known
to
be
a
person
of
Honour
,
and
abhors
any
dirty
action
,
must
be
brought
into
the
story
for
eight
horse-load
of
Goods
sent
him
;
and
appendix
page
10
is
as
true
,
as
that
O
Sulivan
More
was
turned
out
appendix
page
15
of
the
Ship
,
which
he
never
Saw
.
XV.
And
that
the
said
Orpen
sent
several
boat
loads
of
the
said
goods
up
the
River
to
his
own
House
,
and
other
places
,
by
which
proceedings
of
Orpen
and
Crump
,
there
is
not
visibly
left
the
value
of
500
l.'s
worth
of
goods
of
all
the
said
Cargo
;
Though
at
the
time
that
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
took
possession
thereof
,
it
was
,
and
this
Examinat
beleeves
to
be
worth
between
5
and
6000
l.
the
whole
damages
sustained
both
as
to
Ship
,
Mony
and
Cargo
,
being
about
10000
l.
Answ.
A
farr
fetcht
aggravation
,
That
Orpen
carryed
some
of
the
goods
to
his
owne
house
.
Had
there
been
room
for
them
,
he
had
sent
all
the
rest
appendix
page
10
to
the
same
place
,
but
for
want
of
conveniency
,
appendix
page
28
he
sent
most
part
of
them
to
be
secured
in
the
houses
of
the
best
Gentlemen
of
that
Country
.
If
500
l.'s
worth
of
the
goods
were
saved
,
it
s
500
times
more
then
was
expected
or
hop'd
for
by
the
People
belonging
to
her
and
in
all
appearance
the
Ship
,
Cargo
and
mony
,
was
worth
some
thousands
of
pounds
;
but
observe
,
it
[
was
]
and
then
he
[
believes
,
&c.
]
all
which
might
indisputably
have
been
saved
had
not
the
Examinat
and
the
rest
carry'd
the
mony
ashore
,
with
some
sinister
design
,
and
had
not
the
Master
caused
the
holes
to
be
bor'd
appendix
page
20
to
destroy
the
Cargo
,
and
turned
the
Ship
adrift
,
appendix
page
17
that
she
might
beat
,
and
be
torn
to
pieces
,
by
appendix
page
21
the
Rabble
and
their
own
men

.
And
this
Aexaminat
saith
that
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
took
the
very
Sails
,
Riggins
,
and
Furniture
that
were
left
of
the
said
Sh●p
,
and
conveyed
them
away
among
the
rest
of
the
goods
.
Answ.
How
now
,
Mr.
Examinat
!
you
want
the
main
property
of
the
fourbe
or
fripon
.
Wit
,
a
good
memory
:
Has
the
tediousness
of
your
bladder-blown
Examination
made
you
forget
in
the
Rear
what
you
have
said
in
the
Van
therof
,
it
's
not
above
half
an
hours
reading
since
you
have
plainly
said
in
Page
56.
that
she
had
lost
all
her
sayls
;
Had
the
Saylers
,
Master
,
and
Examinat
,
been
as
sound
at
heart
as
the
Sayles
,
all
had
been
well
,
and
the
adventerous
Owners
might
have
received
a
Successful
return
.
Now
Mr.
Examinate
,
you
must
call
aloud
to
your
high
Sh.
Captain
,
and
Mr.
Bl.
and
try
if
t'other
bagg
of
Sugar
a
piece
,
to
each
of
them
can
help
you
?
Nay
can
any
pecuniary
mulct
wipe
this
Blot
out
of
your
Escutchcon
,
if
you
have
any
coat
of
Arms
?
What
Hocus-Pocus
tricks
are
here
?
'T
is
and
't
is
not
.
The
Master
in
his
Letter
appendix
page
31
of
the
28th
of
January
to
Mr.
Palmer
,
and
you
in
the
forlorn
part
of
your
Examination
,
agree
,
that
she
had
not
a
sail
left
,
yet
towards
the
fagg-end
of
the
same
Examination
,
Orpen
and
Crump
took
away
the
very
sayls
,
&c.
But
least
the
curious
Reader
might
be
at
a
loss
to
know
which
is
which
,
appendix
page
18
or
where
to
believe
you
;
't
is
most
obvious
to
the
appendix
page
13
World
,
that
she
had
a
very
good
suit
of
sayles
appendix
page
25
when
the
Master
forsook
her
,
and
had
not
the
unlawful
lucre
of
the
2500
l.
withdrawn
the
hearts
of
the
Saylors
,
the
Sayls
might
have
carryed
the
Ship
far
enough
from
Orpen
and
Crump
.
XVII
.
That
this
Examinat
,
Passengers
,
and
Ships
Crew
,
being
strangers
in
the
Country
,
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
gave
out
ridiculous
reports
about
them
,
purposely
to
frighten
them
,
and
make
them
odious
to
the
Country
,
the
said
Orpen
confest
to
this
Examinat
;
and
afterwards
advised
him
to
run
away
and
leave
Ship
and
all
behind
them
,
telling
them
that
if
they
would
stay
,
he
believed
they
would
be
all
knockt
in
the
Head
.
;
Answ.
Though
they
were
strangers
in
the
Country
,
't
was
the
Mate
and
Carpenter
that
gave
out
ridiculous
reports
of
them
,
and
discovered
the
whole
intrigue
of
destroying
the
Ship
;
't
was
their
own
Consciences
,
whose
ghastly
Spectrums
they
could
not
be
rid
of
,
and
not
Orpen
and
Crump
,
that
advised
them
to
flee
from
the
place
where
they
had
committed
so
vile
a
fact
;
but
few
abiding
upon
that
ground
where
themselves
have
been
Guilty
of
Blood-shedding
,
or
other
foul
crimes
.
XVIII
.
That
within
12
days
after
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
had
taken
possession
of
the
said
Ship
,
Mr.
Charles
Monke
the
Kings
Collector
for
that
County
,
Mr.
Edward
Herbert
the
high
Sh.
Mr.
Gibbings
the
Surveyor
,
and
Capt.
Gregory
Governour
of
Rosse-Castle
,
came
with
several
Soldiers
to
take
the
Examinate
and
the
rest
belonging
to
the
Ship
prisoners
,
the
said
Orpen
having
informed
them
by
Letters
that
they
were
Pyrates
,
or
little
better
.
Answ.
The
Examinate
has
not
yet
found
his
Journal
,
for
't
was
within
Seven
dayes
after
the
possesion
,
that
Mr.
Monk
,
Mr.
Herbert
,
Capt.
Gregory
and
Mr
,
Gibbings
,
came
into
that
Country
;
and
the
Soldiers
came
to
guard
them
,
and
not
to
take
the
Examinate
and
company
Prisoners
;
Neither
were
there
any
such
Letters
as
the
Examinate
Speaks
of
.
But
there
wanted
not
grounds
enough
to
have
them
taken
up
;
The
Carpenter
having
upon
Oath
,
before
the
Capt.
and
high
Sh
,
discovered
the
whole
plot
that
destroyed
the
Ship
.
and
Cargo
;
But
they
had
more
Grace
then
to
take
them
up
,
having
a
far
greater
appetite
to
take
up
some
Wallets
of
Indigo
and
Sugar
.
XIX
.
But
the
said
Collector
understanding
by
their
Clearings
of
the
Office
and
Government
of
Jamaica
,
which
the
Captain
produced
,
that
they
were
wronged
,
gave
no
Credit
to
the
said
Orpen
and
Crump
,
but
was
highly
incensed
against
them
,
and
told
them
that
he
would
acquaint
the
Government
of
their
villanys
,
whereupon
the
said
Orpen
delivered
up
the
Ship
to
the
said
Captain
,
But
stopt
the
goods
that
were
visible
in
his
posession
,
alleaging
that
he
ought
to
have
the
half
Salvage
,
and
quitted
the
seizure
.
Answ.
The
Collector
never
understood
by
their
Clearings
that
they
were
honest
men
;
for
they
appendix
page
46
produced
but
very
imperfect
Bills
of
loading
,
particularly
there
was
for
the
Indigo
no
other
Invoyce
but
thirteen
barrells
,
whereas
Mr.
Orpen
made
it
appear
to
their
faces
that
there
was
a
great
deal
more
,
and
other
sort
of
Casks
,
as
Punchions
appendix
page
21
and
Hogsheads
of
Indigo
and
other
Goods
,
appendix
page
33
which
were
havockt
away
by
the
Examinant
and
by
the
rest
of
the
Ships
Company
,
But
this
Lyell
was
never
Shipt
as
Master
;
but
the
Master
dying
(
as
they
alleage
)
after
they
left
Jamaica
,
Mr.
Lyell
(
as
he
pretends
)
was
desired
to
take
upon
him
the
charge
of
the
Ship
;
and
thus
appendix
page
46
he
became
Master
,
yet
all
this
while
the
former
Masters
pocket-book
,
or
any
other
thing
to
shew
their
honesty
from
Jaimaca
,
or
a
true
Invoyce
from
thence
was
never
produced
,
so
that
whether
any
part
of
the
Cargo
was
transhipt
into
any
other
Ship
at
Sea
,
is
yet
doubtful
.
And
though
they
appeared
as
very
honest
men
to
the
high
Sh.
Capt.
Greg
,
and
Mr.
Bl.
It
was
not
so
until
some
handsom
oblations
of
Sugar
,
Indigo
and
Cotton
,
were
first
made
.
But
as
for
delivering
up
the
Ship
,
&c.
the
Master
would
not
be
perswaded
upon
any
terms
to
look
after
her
,
&
had
not
Mr.
Monk
cry'd
appendix
page
45
shame
at
him
,
he
had
not
gone
to
her
any
more
;
and
though
by
much
ado
he
was
now
in
a
manner
appendix
page
46
forced
to
go
on
board
,
Yet
he
left
her
the
same
day
,
and
came
not
to
her
in
five
dayes
after
,
nor
then
,
until
he
was
Soundly
raild
at
again
by
Mr.
Monk
for
his
Negl●gence
;
and
tho'
he
remained
in
the
Country
for
three
weeks
afterwards
;
so
careful
he
was
,
that
he
went
away
and
left
the
Fustick
lying
among
the
water
and
Ballast
.
XX.
The
said
Examinat
further
saith
,
that
the
said
Orpen
produced
a
Letter
to
him
,
which
he
said
he
received
from
Thomas
Farren
Esq
;
Judge
of
the
Admiralty
as
Cork
,
and
the
said
Captain
Waller
,
ordering
him
to
seiz
the
said
Ship
and
Cargo
aforesaid
.
Answ.
There
was
no
Letter
from
Mr.
Farren
;
and
Capt.
Wallers
Letter
was
dated
the
25th
of
February
being
12
dayes
after
the
Examinate
left
that
Country
,
in
which
Letter
,
are
these
words
[
Be
carefull
of
every
thing
belonging
to
the
Ship
Laurell
,
for
since
the
men
are
saved
,
the
Ship
and
Goods
are
still
the
Owners
,
for
which
you
are
to
have
Salvage
]
but
the
distorted
opticks
of
the
Examinant
have
extorted
words
of
other
shapes
and
hews
,
from
a
Letter
which
he
never
saw
.
XXI
.
And
further
saith
that
the
said
Orpen
did
confess
to
this
Examinat
,
that
he
gave
out
many
false
and
Scandalous
reports
upon
the
said
Captain
and
company
,
but
it
was
in
passion
.
Answ.
This
is
such
another
confession
as
O
appendix
page
15
Sulivan
More
's
,
where
the
Examinat
sayes
that
he
confess'd
that
he
found
all
things
in
good
Order
on
board
the
Ship
,
who
never
was
on
board
her
.
XXII
.
And
this
Examinat
further
saith
,
that
the
said
Captain
Gregory
,
the
Surveyor
and
the
high
Sh.
of
the
County
of
Kerry
told
him
that
the
said
Orpen
did
offer
to
bribe
them
purposely
to
set
them
against
the
Ships
company
,
but
they
refused
to
do
the
same
,
and
this
Examinat
saith
that
he
hath
bribed
several
on
that
account
,
as
this
Examimat
has
been
enformed
.
Answ.
Notwithstanding
that
it
's
believed
that
the
Sh.
and
Captain
Gregory
would
say
any
thing
for
their
votaries
,
it
s
a
question
whether
the
above
Paragraph
be
not
the
Examinats
own
,
tho'
after
the
Country
had
laboured
greatly
under
the
frequent
extortions
of
the
Captain
and
his
Soldiers
;
And
the
Sh.
sometimes
granting
his
Replevin
to
these
Soldiers
against
the
new
English
,
with
no
other
design
then
to
possess
himself
of
their
Goods
,
and
then
Superseading
his
own
Replevin
when
be
found
that
the
Soldiers
would
not
bring
the
goods
to
himself
;
The
whole
Country
being
in
a
tumult
through
these
oppressons
,
which
astonisht
the
English
to
find
the
Laws
administred
in
this
manner
,
where
they
expected
such
uprightness
as
might
be
leading
to
all
the
rest
of
the
appendix
page
11
Country
;
The
Sh.
profering
23
Guineas
and
2
C.
weight
of
Sugar
,
to
get
the
Masters
Note
for
Salvage
appendix
page
33
out
of
Mr.
Orpen's
hands
,
His
sending
to
Mr.
Orpen
that
if
he
would
give
him
Twenty
Guinea's
,
he
would
compose
all
matters
to
his
content
with
the
Master
,
and
alwayes
fideing
with
one
or
another
,
and
setting
the
people
of
the
Country
&
the
people
of
the
Ship
at
variance
;
It
's
very
manifest
that
tho'
there
was
no
Bribery
,
there
wanted
not
Inducements
of
the
first
Rate
.
XXIII
.
And
this
Examinate
further
faith
that
the
said
Orpen
wrote
to
one
Captain
Cuningham
then
Governour
of
Ross
,
as
he
was
enformed
,
to
let
one
Cnoher
Boy
O
Sulivan
,
who
was
then
one
of
the
chief
of
the
Toryes
,
then
in
custody
,
to
make
his
escape
;
who
accordingly
made
his
escape
and
was
the
head
of
the
Toryes
as
this
Examinat
was
enformed
that
burnt
the
house
and
Robb'd
the
Examinat
and
company
of
their
Money
aforesaid
.
Answ.
Though
this
paragraph
is
already
answered
,
page
27.
yet
it
's
not
amiss
to
ask
the
question
,
How
came
Cnoher
Boy
to
escape
at
Mr.
Orpen's
instance
,
when
Capt.
Cuningham's
own
appendix
page
39
Letter
denyes
any
such
thing
,
and
was
vext
at
the
escape
?
If
he
was
a
Tory
,
how
did
the
Capt.
dare
appendix
page
38
let
him
go
?
If
he
was
not
,
it
's
not
a
farthing
matter
at
whose
instance
he
escap'd
:
If
he
escap'd
at
Orpen's
instance
,
how
came
it
that
he
carryed
his
appendix
page
38
Irons
away
with
him
?
as
also
the
Centinells
Musquet
?
If
he
escaped
at
Orpen's
instance
,
why
was
he
pursued
immediately
by
the
Soldiers
?
If
he
appendix
page
37
was
a
Tory
,
why
did
not
he
sorthwith
after
his
escape
,
Joyn
the
Toryes
that
were
then
out
upon
their
keeping
?
But
it
being
discovered
that
he
was
a
Spie
upon
them
,
they
sought
his
life
on
the
one
side
,
and
on
the
other
side
,
he
was
incessantly
appendix
page
38
pursued
by
the
Soldiers
,
and
at
lenth
forced
,
se
defendendo
,
to
set
up
a
company
for
himself
,
and
became
the
worst
of
Toryes
.
But
has
Capt.
Gregory
commited
one
Tory
to
Goal
dureing
the
whole
time
of
his
Governing
in
that
Country
?
Mr.
Orpen
has
,
by
the
discoveryes
of
Cnoher
Boy
,
brought
into
Goal
great
numbers
appendix
page
34
of
notorious
Murderers
and
Robbers
;
and
for
fear
he
should
by
the
same
means
,
bring
in
the
Rest
in
the
same
manner
,
and
so
spoil
the
Soldiers
Trade
of
free
Quartering
,
Cnoher
Boy
was
forced
appendix
page
33
to
become
Tory
,
and
Orpen
(
who
was
the
greatest
appendix
page
34
Prosecutor
of
Malefactors
)
must
now
be
accused
as
a
friend
to
such
.
In
the
mean
time
,
while
these
Loyalists
are
telling
a
story
of
Cnoher
Boy
;
they
have
sufferd
great
part
of
that
Provence
to
be
over
Run
with
Toryes
;
and
these
Soldiers
(
being
a
sort
somewhat
tamer
)
do
imitate
their
footstepps
,
and
under
pretence
of
beating
for
them
,
(
whether
for
want
of
Pay
,
or
to
oblidge
their
Capt.
)
have
Robbd
the
Country
almost
of
what
the
Toryes
lest
;
And
the
Commissioners
of
the
Revenue
will
find
but
a
very
sorry
return
from
thence
for
many
years
to
come
,
by
reason
that
great
numbers
of
Families
have
fled
from
the
crueltyes
of
the
lawless
Robbers
,
and
as
little
Lawfull
Government
of
this
Captains
Soldiers
,
the
latter
having
plundred
at
the
heels
of
the
former
,
those
parts
are
in
a
manner
laid
waste
.
But
this
being
a
Discourse
which
hath
a
volume
of
its
own
;
It
s
high
time
to
return
again
to
the
Examinat
,
who
has
made
such
a
horrible
Narrative
in
his
topsy-turvy
Examination
of
things
,
that
were
and
were
not
,
in
a
sort
of
Legerdemaine
and
sometimes
a
Hysteron
Proteron
Scene
,
where
there
was
no
manner
of
Horse
at
all
to
be
found
,
nor
a
Cart
to
set
afore
him
;
yet
from
the
30th
of
January
to
the
7th
of
March
(
being
the
day
whereon
his
abominable
Examination
came
into
the
World
,
)
was
a
considerable
time
to
frame
his
Heteroclitical
Modell
of
the
whole
proceedings
upon
the
Ship
Laurel
,
who
left
her
the
appendix
page
26
29th
of
January
,
and
was
never
any
nearer
to
her
afterwards
,
then
3
long
miles
distance
;
Quaecunque
appendix
page
26
novato
ritu
deficiunt
superantve
Heteroclita
sunto
,
and
after
this
his
Pike-and-dagger-account
,
(
some
too
long
,
as
some
too
short
for
any
reconcilable
medium
of
Truth
)
the
religious
man
will
judge
,
that
the
Jew
had
but
little
regard
to
either
Testament
,
when
he
fired
off
this
Examination
at
random
with
both
eyes
winkt
at
once
;
The
tonitruous
bellowing
whereof
,
has
not
onely
frighted
away
many
innocent
people
from
their
Houses
,
but
has
also
smitten
the
minds
of
the
Nations
with
a
wrathfull
concussion
of
concern'd
displeasure
against
them
;
and
at
length
it
prov'd
A
Puddle-Fight
,
or
Battle
of
Squirt
;
Ne'er
a
Man
kill'd
,
and
no
Body
hurt
.
Save
that
it
graz'd
upon
Mr.
Orpen
,
and
so
stunn'd
him
into
5
weeks
confinement
in
Kerry
;
and
from
thence
tumbled
him
most
Unbailably
headlong
for
7
score
miles
together
,
in
custody
,
closely
begirted
with
some
of
the
treasonable
Chain-Shots
;
But
in
open
Court
,
He
brake
those
Withs
as
a
thred
of
tow
when
it
toucheth
the
fire
.
But
Mr.
Myars
went
not
to
Dublin
upon
that
affair
,
without
the
advice
of
the
high
Sh.
who
having
by
his
letter
of
the
13th
of
February
given
the
Government
a
partiall
account
of
the
proceedings
upon
the
Ship
,
did
not
omitt
to
instruct
the
Examinat
in
such
particulars
as
were
requisite
to
justifie
that
Letter
.
NOw
the
Unbyast
Inquisitor
may
from
hence
make
the
following
Observations
,
vizt.
1.
That
the
Ship
was
4
leagues
west
of
the
Bull
,
appendix
page
18
Cow
and
Calf
,
and
the
wind
at
west
,
when
first
they
made
them
,
and
designed
for
Kinsale
,
and
might
have
Saysd
thither
right
afore
it
,
when
they
stood
extravagantly
for
Killmare
;
and
then
what
danger
could
there
be
when
they
were
got
nine
leagues
up
into
such
a
River
?
appendix
page
22
2.
That
they
cut
and
hackt
their
yards
that
appendix
page
18
they
might
break
and
make
a
shew
of
distress
.
3.
That
they
forsook
their
Ship
at
Black-Water-mouth
,
appendix
page
6
where
there
was
no
manner
of
appendix
page
12
danger
,
and
carry'd
their
mony
ashore
,
and
sunk
their
boat
,
and
trickt
the
Ships
helme
that
she
might
not
follow
them
afore
the
wind
into
the
Harbour
.
appendix
page
31
4.
That
the
Master
and
the
Examinate
have
appendix
page
13
both
averr'd
that
they
had
not
a
Sayle
left
,
when
appendix
page
18
there
was
a
very
good
suit
of
sayles
on
board
at
the
same
time
.
appendix
page
7
5.
That
they
resolved
to
go
no
more
aboard
appendix
page
13
untill
Mr.
Palmer
told
them
of
the
Toryes
.
6.
That
Mr.
Palmer
told
them
their
Ship
appendix
page
7
was
the
best
Garison
in
the
Country
;
and
why
appendix
page
42
then
would
they
carry
their
mony
ashore
?
the
Ship
being
in
no
manner
of
danger
.
appendix
page
1
7.
That
she
drove
to
and
fro
before
their
appendix
page
2
faces
all
that
day
,
with
her
sayles
lower'd
a
hull
,
appendix
page
18
no
anchor
dropt
;
and
all
means
for
preservation
appendix
page
10
despised
;
at
length
the
Kedg-anchor
was
dropt
by
a
stranger
,
and
she
fleeted
day
and
night
.
3
,
12
,
29
,
14.
8.
That
the
Master
denyed
that
he
had
any
appendix
page
21
stock
for
his
sheet
Anchor
,
whereas
the
stock
was
then
on
board
.
9.
His
refusing
to
have
a
stock
made
in
an
appendix
page
24
hours
time
.
10.
That
the
Examinate
positively
saith
that
O
appendix
page
15
Sulivan
More
,
Mr.
Clark
,
Mr.
Aldwel
and
Capt.
appendix
page
23
Carthy
were
turned
out
of
the
Ship
;
Whereas
O
appendix
page
10
Sulivan
More
never
came
near
her
,
Mr.
Clark
appendix
page
16
came
not
in
10
days
,
Mr.
Aldwel
&
Capt.
Carthy
appendix
page
26
(
who
came
not
until
next
morning
)
were
employ'd
appendix
page
32
by
Mr.
Orpen
,
to
whom
all
do
attribute
the
right
of
Salvage
.
11.
That
the
whole
Cargo
(
especially
the
Sugars
)
appendix
page
5
was
in
a
manner
damnified
,
before
Mr.
Orpen
appendix
page
10
went
on
board
,
by
means
of
the
holes
which
appendix
page
20
the
Master
made
in
the
Ship
.
12.
That
the
Master
(
when
he
forsook
the
appendix
page
4
Ship
for
good
and
all
)
desired
only
2
Casks
of
appendix
page
25
Indigo
to
bear
his
charges
out
of
the
Country
,
and
appendix
page
29
bid
every
body
take
the
Rest
,
a
hopeful
invitation
to
the
Country
to
come
in
and
tear
her
all
to
pieces
.
13.
That
by
Peter
Row's
Examination
before
Barron
Ecclin
,
and
by
all
other
Examinations
hitherto
,
it
never
appeared
that
he
had
any
Sugar
at
all
in
that
Ship
;
yet
Orpen
was
found
guilty
for
two
hogsheads
which
Mr.
Row
had
not
in
the
Ship
,
and
not
guilty
for
the
Lyme-juice
which
was
in
the
Ship
.
14.
That
the
Master
at
the
Tryal
of
the
indictment
,
answered
upon
Oath
,
that
he
could
not
Accept
of
the
assistance
of
the
boats
to
bring
appendix
page
30
away
his
Ship
,
because
't
was
a
most
dismal
stormy
night
.
and
so
dark
,
that
he
could
not
see
his
hand
;
whereas
it
was
proved
in
open
Court
to
be
full
moon
,
and
a
glorious
calme
night
.
appendix
page
30
15.
That
the
Master
declar'd
that
she
was
very
,
appendix
page
12
leaky
and
in
regard
that
the
water
stunk
,
he
appendix
page
42
alleg'd
that
the
Sugar
made
it
stink
.
16.
That
there
's
one
thing
more
observable
in
Mr.
Orpen's
Justification
,
Viz
that
there
were
but
eight
hogsheads
of
Lyme
juice
on
board
,
and
so
many
he
saved
without
imbezlement
,
and
might
have
done
the
like
with
the
Sugars
and
all
the
appendix
page
17
rest
,
had
not
the
Master
bored
the
holes
and
slipt
appendix
page
19
the
warp
,
and
turn'd
her
loose
to
the
Mob
and
her
own
men
.
appendix
page
62
17.
That
the
Examinate
gives
a
long
account
appendix
page
15
though
he
never
went
near
her
after
the
29th
of
appendix
page
32
January
1693
,
being
the
day
before
the
Master
appendix
page
10
forsook
her
;
But
,
what
has
leak'd
away
through
appendix
page
16
the
warpt
hulk
of
his
wind-shaken
memory
(
touching
the
Sayles
that
were
and
were
not
,
appendix
page
26
Turning
the
people
ashore
that
never
were
on
appendix
page
32
board
;
That
she
rid
by
a
Cable
,
when
there
was
not
so
much
as
a
Warp
out
,
&c.
)
is
Supplementally
repaired
in
his
idaeal
Examination
of
the
whole
proceedings
,
which
he
likewise
never
saw
,
and
were
not
.
appendix
page
40
18.
That
Cap.
Greg.'s
men
sold
the
Ships
Goods
,
and
he
imprisoned
the
Buyers
till
they
compounded
with
him
for
6
Guineas
Bribe
,
and
then
set
them
at
Liberty
,
yet
sent
his
Brotherinlaw
and
other
Soldiers
to
take
away
the
Goods
.
19.
That
it
's
admirable
,
that
neither
the
Examinate
nor
the
Master
,
hath
in
all
this
progress
,
given
an
acompt
that
they
fired
some
great
number
of
Guns
for
Pylots
,
Since
they
fired
none
at
all
during
the
whole
time
of
their
pretended
distress
.
20.
That
by
their
own
confession
upon
Oath
,
appendix
page
42
she
came
ashore
after
7
a
Clock
in
the
morning
,
appendix
page
1
and
suppose
that
there
were
no
wittnesses
to
prove
appendix
page
3
that
she
fleeted
afterwards
,
as
there
are
,
the
appendix
page
6
whole
Country
,
that
she
did
all
that
day
to
and
appendix
page
12
fro'
with
Flood
and
Ebb
;
Lay
it
before
all
the
appendix
page
21
Mariners
in
the
world
;
If
a
W.
S.W.
Quarter
S.
Moon
gives
high
water
in
the
River
of
Killmare
,
then
,
about
8
a
Clock
in
the
morning
on
the
28th
of
January
last
,
gave
low
water
in
the
same
place
;
and
all
those
Mariners
will
say
that
a
Ship
striking
at
low
water
was
never
before
known
to
stick
in
a
calm
pool
,
but
infallibly
brought
off
,
unless
some
leaks
had
set
her
down
,
and
so
kept
her
f●st
as
the
●yde
arose
.
But
to
clear
that
point
she
Remains
(
in
Killmare
)
Tight
to
this
day
,
save
the
holes
that
the
Master
caused
to
be
made
in
her
,
which
was
not
till
three
dayes
after
she
struck
.
21.
That
the
Master
,
Passengers
and
Ships
Company
have
no
way
to
save
themselves
,
but
by
laying
their
horrid
Crimes
upon
others
;
and
what
will
not
such
Principles
alleage
,
say
and
Swear
?
And
what
will
they
not
give
for
wittnesses
,
rather
appendix
page
11
then
ly
in
Goal
for
such
a
Cargo
,
and
so
much
mony
?
Look
back
to
43
and
44.
22.
That
the
high
Sh.
Capt.
Greg.
and
Mr
Bl.
have
been
more
then
ordinary
mercenary
in
the
whole
proceedings
,
Et
dabit
Deus

.
23.
Why
is
Mr.
Orpen
prosecuted
,
who
saved
appendix
page
45
all
that
was
to
be
saved
,
and
gave
a
fair
account
,
and
may
be
most
serviceable
to
the
Owners
?
And
why
are
th●●
th●●

imbezled
above
a
thousand
pounds
worth
of
the

,
tamper'd
with
to

Is
it
not
because
the
greatest
Plunderers
were
the
greatest
Friends
to

?
24.
How
easyly
all
the
mony
might
have
been

saved
,
and
Mr.
Palmer's
ruine
prevented
,
had
they
but
told
him
in

,
that

was

his

,
which

was
never
made

till
after

And
you
may
remember
that
it
hath
been
an
ancient
custom
when
Ships
have
been
willfully
cast
away
in
this
manner
,
to
have
the
Owners
or
Merchants
embroil'd
into
Law
Suits
by
the
Master
,
and
to
have
the
Country
(
though
never
so
inocent
where
such
wickedness
hath
been
commited
,
)
made
a
Sacrifice
to
the
Loosers
,
for
a
warning
to
future
ages
that
all
others
might
hereafter
flee
from
a
Ship
in
distress
,
and
shall
not
dare
presume
to
save
her
,
for
fear
that
the
Master
had
premiditatly
resolved
to
throw
her
away
;
As
the
lamentable
consequence
which
happened
soon
afterwards
to
the
Joseph
of
Bristol
burthen
260
Tuns
,
from
Mevis
with
a
rich
Cargo
,
being
forced
into
a
real
distress
near
Killmare
,
nothing
was
more
posible
then
to
have
saved
her
with
a
very
little
assistance
;
But
the
Country
who
were
freshened
with
the
late
fate
of
Killmare-people
;
That
are
impeach'd
as
a
pack
of
Traytors
for
performing
a
work
of
Christianity
;
made
fast
their
doors
,
and
with
their
whole
familyes
wives
and
Children
,
fled
from
their
houses
as
from
an
epidemical
plague
,
and
Returned
not
again
till
she
and
her
Cargo
were
utterly
lost
for
want
of
help
.
And
must
the
nations
suffer
shipwrack
thus
for
the
Laurells
sake
?
The
Mob
indeed
might
basten
in
to
rend
out
Gods
penny
(
so
called
)
But
People
of
repute
who
could
help
and
preserve
,
Sneakt
away
from
her
relief
,
for
fear
they
should
soon
be
forced
to
run
the
Gantelop
of
prepaired
Combinations
;

And
though
Capt.
Gregory
has
not
brought
in
one
during
the
whole
time
of
his
Governing
in
that
Country
;
yet
he
serves
now
as
an
Informer
to
impeach
him
for
a
Traytor
that
brought
in
the
92
;
But
God
forbid
that
such
doings
should
ever
incline
the
mind
of
any
good
Subject
to
that
odd
saying
upon
true
Service
contemn'd
,
Think
not
by
doing
well
,
a
Fame
to
get
;
But
be
a
Villain
,
and
thou
shalt
be
great
.
And
how
necessary
the
consequences
of
such
impeachments
can
be
to
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Government
will
undoubtedly
Judge
.
And
when
the
most
Just
GOD
,
that
seeth
into
the
bottom
of
all
hearts
,
shall
in
his
due
time
think
fit
that
these
and
such-like
Gentlemen
(
who
have
disturbed
the
greatest
part
of
Their
Majesties
Dominions
,
with
their
false
and
scandalous
Insinuations
;
and
the
better
to
pass
in
M●squerade
with
their
horrible
Machinations
,
have
laboured
to
fix
their
vile
clandestine
Facts
upon
the
Innocent
)
should
be
called
to
a
Court
of
Justice
,
to
receive
their
condign
Punishments
from
Humane
Judicature
;
Then
the
Bells
of
the
Nations
would
counter-ring
their
Stratagems
to
the
World
;
and
so
the
Owners
,
which
are
indeed
the
greatest
Sufferers
,
would
come
to
know
the
grounds
of
their
Misfortune
;
and
the
Loyal
Subject
would
stand
right
with
the
Government
,
and
be
well
look'd
upon
for
his
good
Services
.
A
POST-SCRIPT
To
the
Owners
of
the
Laurel
.
Gentlemen
,
I
Heartily
condole
your
bad
fortune
in
that
Country
where
I
am
concern'd
:
But
yet
since
it
was
a
design'd
Wickedness
,
it
's
all
one
to
you
upon
what
ground
it
happen'd
:
Tho'
it
is
not
so
to
me
,
that
have
suffer'd
so
much
by
it
in
my
Reputation
.
Now
whether
the
Jew
,
the
Master
,
the
high
Sh.
Captain
Greg.
or
Mr.
Bl.
was
the
Atteria
Magna
that
gulpt
out
the
respective
motions
to
every
one
of
the
rest
in
his
Station
,
of
Transforming
good
Service
into
Felony
,
Treason
,
&c.
I
presume
Mr.
Myars
can
best
inform
you
,
and
the
Reasons
thereof
.
Who
were
the
chief
Projectors
to
ruine
a
rich
ship
,
thereby
to
gain
an
opportunity
to
carry
off
the
Treasure
behind
the
Curtain
?
Mr.
Lyell
may
tell
you
that
it
was
Mr.
Myars
and
himself
.
Who
brought
the
Ship
(
of
ten
foot
in
the
hold
,
with
their
3
politicall
Augur-holes
in
her
bottom
,
in
15
foot
water
)
into
a
safe
Creek
?
I
take
that
upon
my self
,
as
done
by
my
people
.
But
,
Who
were
they
that
Dabbled
up
to
the
Elbows
in
dirt
for
Witnesses
?
Perhaps
these
two
Gentlemen
will
excuse
themselves
,
and
say
that
Capt.
Greg.
Mr.
Bl.
and
that
Braying
Engine
of
Information
,
the
Major
,
profer'd
their
service
.
And
as
for
the
barsh
account
which
they
have
given
you
of
my
Behaviour
,
I
conceive
it
to
be
some
Miscelany
Scraps
of
the
Jew's
Examination
,
which
he
forgot
to
put
into
Writing
whilest
he
was
in
Ireland
.
Therefore
for
the
General
Satisfaction
,
and
very
much
for
yours
(
for
its
you
indeed
that
have
paid
the
Piper
)
I
have
here
stept
into
the
Press
,
with
this
short
Narative
,
which
I
hope
you
will
find
sufficiently
justified
by
the
following
Appendix
.
Most
heartily
wishing
that
you
,
and
all
other
good
Men
,
may
never
have
Occasion
to
put
confidence
in
such
a
Master
as
Mr.
Lyell
,
or
such
a
Friend
as
Mr.
Myars
;
I
take
leave
to
subscribe
,
Gentlemen
,
Your
very
humble
Servant
,
R.
O.
FINIS
.
