[Footnote 73: See the Lords' Journals of March 2. and 4. 1692/3 and the
Commons' Journals of Dec. 16. 1693, and Jan. 29. 1695/4. The story, bad
enough at best, was told by the personal and political enemies of the
Lords justices with additions which the House of Commons evidently
considered as calumnious, and which I really believe to have been
so. See the Gallienus Redivivus. The narrative which Colonel Robert
Fitzgerald, a Privy Councillor and an eyewitness delivered in writing to
the House of Lords, under the sanction of an oath, seems to me perfectly
trustworthy. It is strange that Story, though he mentions the murder of
the soldiers, says nothing about Gafney.]

It is to be observed that Kelly, the author of the Macariae Excidium and
Fumeron, the French intendant, are most unexceptionable witnesses.
They were both, at this time, within the walls of Limerick. There is no
reason to doubt the impartiality of the Frenchman; and the Irishman was
partial to his own countrymen.]

Gazettes of December, January, February, and March 1690/1.]

[Footnote 77: It is remarkable that Avaux, though a very shrewd judge
of men, greatly underrated Berwick. In a letter to Louvois, dated Oct.
15/25. 1689, Avaux says: "Je ne puis m'empescher de vous dire qu'il est
brave de sa personne, a ce que l'on dit mais que c'est un aussy mechant
officie, qu'il en ayt, et qu'il n'a pas le sens commun."]
