Note 16 — Chapter XLI · DECLARATION AND ACT OF SETTLEMENT, 1660-1662
Reading edition
The names of the first Commissioners are in the Act of Settlement, Irish Statutes, ii. 264. Eustace to Ormonde, July 29, August 17 and 21, 1661, Carte Transcripts, vol. xxxi.; Lord Aungier to same, May 1, ib. The King to the Lords Justices, April 12, 1661, State Papers, Ireland. The persons ordered to be restored by the Lords Justices were Lords Clancarty, Clanricarde, Westmeath, Fingall, Dillon, Taaffe, and Galmoy, Colonel Richard Butler (Ormonde’s brother), and Colonel Fitzpatrick. The first and the last of these were married to Ormonde’s sisters, but it appears from the Act of Explanation that there had been a hitch in the cases of Lords Westmeath and Dillon and of Colonel Butler.
