P. 99, l. 8.—Succeeding in the government by a particular commission. Story says, "that Francis Plowden, Esq. (one of the Commissioners of the Revenue in the late King's time) had brought over a commission from the late King out of France, appointing Sir Alexander Fitton, Sir Richard Neagle, and the said Francis Plowden, Esq. to be Lords Justices of Ireland; which commission lay dormant till my Lord Tyrconnel's death, by which it appeared that his adversaries were like to prove too many for him if he had lived; and that, tho' he had promoted the late King's desires (tho' not his real interest) to the utmost, and was of the same religion too with himself, yet he was in a fair way of being served as others had been before him."

P. 100, l. 20.—Pitching his camp on the same ground where Theodore (King William) pitched his the year before. At Carriganliss, to which post Ginckell's army marched on the 14th August, 1691. William had occupied the same ground on the 7th of August in the preceding year. It is about six miles south-east of Limerick, and is now called Cahirconlish.

1. 31. He immediately retired to a mountain a good distance from Paphos (Limerick). The Earl of Westmeath, in a letter addressed to Mr. Harris and published in the Appendix to his Life of King William III. admits this precipitate retreat. His Lordship says " Brigadier Clifford commanded where this bridge was laid over, and by a very great neglect he made no opposition to it. He was for that neglect confined in the castle, and I believe, if the capitulation had not been made, he must, of course, be condemned by a court martial. I had a regiment of horse, and we were encamped on a mountain within three miles of the bridge, and the body consisted of about 3,000 men, commanded by General Sheldon. On his having

intelligence that Ginkle had laid a bridge over the Shannon, and that a great number of horse and foot had passed it, he marched with the horse to Six-Mile Bridge, which we passed, and went the next day to Clare, where we remained till we made articles."

P. 102, l. 11.-Clytus (Colonel Robert Clifford) who commanded at the pass. Story says that, upon the alarm being given, Brigadier Clifford "seemed not very forward in the matter, tho' his dragoons came down on foot and pretended to make some opposition."

P. 104, l. 5.—The deputies. "25th September, 1691.

S.) "3rd October, 1691. This evening the articles were signed and exchanged; but it being late we only took possession of the enemies' outworks, their stone fort, and St. John's Gate, on the Irish town side."-Diary of the Siege of Limerick.

1. 8.-The chief Flamin (Bishop). The titular Archbishop of Armagh.

P. 106, l. 4.—But nothing was more dismal than the sad separation of man and wife. "Barbarous and inhuman hath been Wahop's usage to the poor Irish which lately were shipped from Kerry. He, finding while they lay encamped (waiting for transport ships) that they began to desert him upon account of the ill condition of their wives and families in this kingdom, promised to take them also with him;

and a declaration to that effect having been issued by Sarsfield and Wahop, they accordingly were brought to the water side, when Wahop, pretending to ship the soldiers in order, according to his lists of them, first carried the men on board; many of the women, on the second return of the boats for the officers, catching hold to be carried on board, were dragged off with the boats, and through fearfulness loosing their hold were drowned; others who held faster had their fingers cut off, and came to the same miserable end, in sight of their husbands and relations."-The Dublin Intelligence, 1691.
