hould be imprisoned, or
sent to Flanders: upon which, Ardkinlas says, he did administer to him
the oath of allegiance upon the 6th of January, 1692....

These things having preceded the slaughter, which happen'd not to be
committed until the 13th of February, 1692, six weeks after the deceas'd
Glenco had taken the oath of allegiance at Inverary. The slaughter of
the Glenco men was in this manner, viz., John and Alexander MacDonalds,
sons to the deceas'd Glenco, depone, that Glengary's house being
reduc'd, the forces were called back to the south, and Glenlyon, a
captain of the Earl of Argyle's regiment, with Lieutenant Lindsay, and
Ensign Lindsay, and six score soldiers, return'd to Glenco about the 1st
of February, 1692, where, at their entry, the elder brother, John, met
them, with about 20 men, and demanded the reason of their coming; and
Lieutenant Lindsay showed him his orders for quartering there, under
Colonel Hill's hand, and gave assurance that they were only come to
quarter; whereupon they were billeted in the country, and had free
quarters, and kind entertainment, living familiarly with the people
until the 13th day of Feb.; and Alexander farther depones, that
Glenlyon, being his wife's uncle, came almost every day, and took his
morning drink at his house, and that the very night before the
slaughter, Glenlyon did play at cards, in his own quarters, with both
the brothers; and John depones, that old Glenco, his father, had invited
Glenlyon, Lieutenant Lindsay, and Ensign Lindsay, to dine with him upon
the very day the slaughter happened. But, on the 13th day of February,
being Saturday, about four, or five, in the morning, Lieutenant Lindsay,
with a party of the foresaid soldiers, came to old Glenco's house,
where, having call'd, in a friendly manner, and got in, they shot his
father dead, with several shots, as he was rising out of his bed; and,
the mother having got up, and put on her clothes, the soldiers stripp'd
her naked, and drew the rings off her fingers with their teeth; as
likewise they killed one man more, and wounded another grievously, at
the same place.... And the said John, Alexander, and Archibald
MacDonalds, do all depone, that, the same morning, there was one
Sergeant Barber, and a party, at Auchnaion, and that Auchintriaten being
there, in his brother's house, with eight more, sitting about the fire,
the soldiers discharged upon them about 18 shot, which killed
Auchintriaten, and four more;
