5, for further evidence.

[501] _No wolves_--Declaration printed at Cork, 1650.
[502] _Dr. Burgat.--Brevis Relatio_. Presented to the Sacred
Congregation in 1667. Dr. Moran's little work, _Persecution of the Irish
Catholics_, gives ample details on this subject; and every statement is
carefully verified, and the authority given for it.
[503] _Circumstances_.--Lord Roche and his daughters were compelled to
go on foot to Connaught, and his property was divided amongst the
English soldiers. His wife, the Viscountess Roche, was hanged without a
shadow of evidence that she had committed the crime of which she was
accused. Alderman Roche's daughters had nothing to live on but their own
earnings by washing and needlework; and Mr. Luttrell, the last case
mentioned above, was allowed as a favour to occupy his _own stables_
while preparing to transplant.
[504] _Drove out_.--Carte's _Ormonde_, vol ii. p. 398.
[505] _Accounts_--Carte's _Ormonde_, vol. ii. pp. 398, 399. He considers
all "bounties" to him as mere acts of justice.
[506] _Trial_.--Chief Justice Nugent, afterwards Lord Riverston, in a
letter, dated Dublin, June 23rd, 1686, and preserved in the State Paper
Office, London, says: "There are 5,000 in this kingdom who were never
outlawed."
[507] _Cheated_.--Books were found in the office of the surveyor for the
county Tipperary alone, in which only 50,000 acres were returned as
unprofitable, and the adventurers had returned 245,207.--Carte's
_Ormonde_, vol. ii. p. 307. "These soldiers," says Carte, "were for the
most part Anabaptists, Independents, and Levellers." Equal roguery was
discovered in other places.
[508] _Private_.--For full information on this subject, see Carte's
_Ormonde_, vol. ii. pp. 476-482. I will give one extract to verify the
statement above. "The Duke of Ormonde had, in truth, difficulties enough
to struggle with in the government of Ireland, to preserve that kingdom
in peace, and yet to give those who wished to imbroil it no handle of
exception to the measures he took for that end."--vol. ii. p. 477.
[509] _Royalty_.--D'Arcy M'Gee's _History of Ireland_, vol ii p. 560.
[510] _Army_.--Carte says "he was Scout-Master-General."--_Ormonde_,
vol. ii. p. 473.
[511] _Sentenced_.--See Dr. Moran's _Memoir of the Most Rev. Dr.
Plunkett_. This interesting work affords full details of the character
of the witnesses, the nature of the trial, an
