Note 189 — Chapter L · JAMES II. IN IRELAND, 1689

Bennett’s Hist. of Bandon, chaps. xv. and xvi., besides the plain facts records interesting traditions. ‘During his stay at Cork Mr. Brady, the minister of the place and ten men from Bandon petitioned him (James) for pardon for that town, which he granted, saying, "You may now see you have a gracious king." And when the Earl of Clancarty and Duke of Berwick urged the destruction of that nest of rebels: to the first he said that he was a young man, and to the latter that he was a fool.... Two days after, notwithstanding the King’s pardon to those of Bandon, several were indicted at the assizes, insomuch that 30 or 40 of them fled by this opportunity and came to Bristol, being frightened at the bloody proceedings against one Mr. Brown, who was hanged, drawn, and quartered at the same assizes,’ Full and True Account of the landing of King James at Kinsale ... a letter from Bristol, April 1, 1689.
