On June 10, says the ‘Impartial Hand,’ Barisdale and Young Barisdale both surrendered to Ensign Small, in a cave. But Barisdale, it is known, got a protection, on his promise to deliver up Prince Charles. He laid several schemes to this end, and had two companies to seize the Prince at Strathfillan. Sheridan, however, ‘who had a talent for reading men with as great freedom and judgement as others do books,’ warned the Prince, who kept out of Barisdale’s clutches.[63] So says the Impartial Hand. His story of the protection for Barisdale was true, as witness the following letters from the Cumberland Papers, at Windsor Castle. _From G. Howard to Col. Napier, A.D.C. to D. of C._ ‘July 5th.... ‘A person passed me here yesterday morning whom I took to be lawful Prey, but, to my great concern, he produced a Pass-port for himself and 4 servants with their arms &c., syned by Sir E. Faulkner: it was dated only the day before yesterday. The person was McDonald of Barisdale, who is so particularly zealous for hanging our officers. I asked him if he had seen H.R.H. (Cumberland). He said no, but that a friend got him his Protection.’ _Lord Albemarle to Duke of Cumberland_ ‘July 26th. ‘The Complaint is universal against Barisdale, therefore I shall not renew his protection, but drive and burn his country to punish him for having made such a bad use of your goodness. Glengarry is much commended for his behaviour.’ Finally, Barisdale had already induced several Macdonnells to lay a written information against Old Glengarry, their chief.
