Note 130 — Chapter XLVII · GOVERNMENT OF ORMONDE, 1677-1685

The Irish evidence convicted by their own oaths by W. Hetherington, London, 1682. Power of attorney from Ormonde, September 1, 1681, Ormonde Papers, vi. 306; to Arran, June 26, 1683, ib. vii. 52. Luttrell, March 26 and May 3, 1683. Newsletter to Lady Weymouth, May 3, Additional MSS., 32095, f. 212. Ormonde to Arran, November 17, 1681, in appx. to Carte’s Ormonde, no. 126, contains the curious word ‘caronated.’ It appears in the original MS., but the late Sir James Murray was unable to pronounce on the etymology. Writing to Ormonde on May 20, 1682, Arran says, nine of the King’s witnesses petitioned for not less than 20l. apiece. He gave 40l. among them, ‘part to defray their charge at the inn where they lay, the rest to carry them home, where I doubt not but they will follow their other trade and come to the gallows that way.’—Ormonde Papers, vi. 365.
