Ireland -- History -- 17th century
[189] Bennett's _Hist. of Bandon_, chaps. xv. and xvi., besides the
plain facts records interesting traditions. 'During his stay at Cork
Mr. Brady, the minister of the place and ten men from Bandon petitioned
him (James) for pardon for that town, which he granted, saying, "You
may now see you have a gracious king." And when the Earl of Clancarty
and Duke of Berwick urged the destruction of that nest of rebels: to
the first he said that he was a young man, and to the latter that he
was a fool.... Two days after, notwithstanding the King's pardon to
those of Bandon, several were indicted at the assizes, insomuch that
30 or 40 of them fled by this opportunity and came to Bristol, being
frightened at the bloody proceedings against one Mr. Brown, who was
hanged, drawn, and quartered at the same assizes,' _Full and True
Account_ of the landing of King James at Kinsale ... a letter from
Bristol, April 1, 1689. See also a letter from Tyrconnel to MacCarthy,
March 10, 1688-9, in Smith's _Hist. of Cork_, ii. chap. vii. _Exact
Relation of the Persecutions_, &c., sustained by the Protestants of
Kenmare in Ireland, 1689.
[190] _Exact Relation_, _ut sup._
[191] _Exact Relation_, _ut sup._ Orpen says eight families were
detained by the Irish officers 'as slaves to work for them at their
iron-works, which none of the natives were skilful in.' Fifteen hundred
pounds worth of bar and pig iron was left behind. There is a picture
of the 'white house' of Killowen in its present ruined state in
Fitzmaurice's _Life of Petty_.
[192] The rank of the French officers is mentioned by Rousset, but
according to Dangeau, Boisseleau was only a captain in the Guards,
while Pusignan was already a marechal de camp. Abbé Bronchi to Duke of
Modena, March 11/21, in Campana-Cavelli; Rosen to Louvois, March 16/26,
_ib._; De Sourches, iii., February 5/15 and 15/26. _A full and true
account of the landing_, &c., April 1, 1689. The Marquis de la Fare
notes in his memoirs that Barillon realised how he had been duped by
Sunderland, 'et je crois qu'il est mort de regret.'
[193] King, iii., xiii. 2. _A Short View of the Methods made use of
in Ireland_, &c., by a clergyman lately escaped from thence, licensed
October 17, 1689, dedicated to Burnet. Smith's _Cork_. Leslie in his
answer to King says Brown resisted the sheriff and that a man was
killed in the scuffle, this accounting for James's unusual harshness
in that case. Sir Lawrence Parsons, who was included in the great Act
of Attainder, had defended his own house at Birr. He surrendered it
on conditions, and Baron Lynch sentenced him to be hanged, drawn, and
quartered for articling with the King, but he did not actually suffer.
Howell's _State Trials_, xii. no. 364.
[194] _Full and true account of the landing, 1689. A Light to the
Blind. A Short View of the Methods_, _ut sup._ Avaux to Louvois, April
14; to Louis XIV., April 23.
