[175] Authorities as for last paragraph; _Aphorismical Discovery_, p. 616; Dillingham to Sancroft in Cary's _Memorials of the Civil War_, ii. 217. The articles of surrender are printed in Murphy's _Cromwell in Ireland_, p. 341, with the date May 18, but the letter in Whitelock (456) says May 10. Certainty is unattainable, but Cromwell's battery was probably near the railway station on the slope of Gallows Hill. Since the above was written I have read the account of this siege in Rev. W. S. Burke's _Hist. of Clonmel_, 1907, but have not thought it necessary to alter the text. [176] Broghill's letter, dated April 16, is printed in Murphy's _Cromwell in Ireland_, p. 324; Borlase's _Irish Rebellion_, p. 240; the Brief Chronicle printed in _Contemp. Hist._ iii. 165, says Roche was 'condemned to be shot to death by a council of war'; Cox's _Hibernia Anglicana_, ii. 16, where the date is erroneously given as May 16. [177] Cromwell to Hewson, May 22, 1650, in _Carlyle_, Supplement 61; to John Sadler, December 31, 1649, _ib._ appendix 17. The latter letter offers Sadler, a master in Chancery in England, 1000_l._ a year as Chief Justice of Munster. Sadler did not go, but the place was given to a vigorous law reformer, John Cook the regicide. [178] Broghill's letter of April 16; Letter among the _Clarendon MSS._, July 6, o. s., endorsed by Hyde as from 'J. Barn.' (perhaps Barnewall).; Carte's _Life of Ormonde_, ii.; Gardiner's _Commonwealth_, i. 153, 168. It is remarkable that in Hill's _Macdonnells of Antrim_ nothing is said about the alleged forgery, though the writer can hardly have been ignorant of Carte's statement. Cromwell's articles granted to the Protestants, dated April 26, are printed in _Contemp. Hist._ ii. 393, where the other letters may be found, pp. 401-408, 410, and 411, and see Supplement 58 to _Carlyle_.
