Note 257 — Chapter XXXVII · PEACE, SETTLEMENT, AND TRANSPLANTATION, 1652-1654

Irish Commissioners to Council of State, January 8, 1651-2, Portland Papers, i. 622, and Ludlow, i. 497. In the former the river ‘which goes to Youghal’ is called the More, i.e. the Avonmore or Blackwater, not the Nore, as printed in the latter. Statements by Adventurers’ Committee in Portland Papers, i. 639, April 5, 1652, and ib. 649, May 14; Irish officers to Parliament, May 5, signed by Ludlow and eighteen others. See Prendergast, pp. 83 sqq. Dr. Jones had a vested interest in the 1641 depositions, Parliament having given him the sole right to print and reprint his abstract up to March 21, 1641-2, Somers Tracts, v. 573. He had a fresh commission to take evidence after that date, and doubtless the document which caused such horror at Kilkenny in 1652 contained much additional matter.
