vested with the authority of Lord Lieutenant, having removed Fleetwood. Martial law with savage ferocity some time prevailed in all the fortified towns and cities.

In the city of Limerick the government was military until 1656,' when by mandate from Cromwell the Puritan party elected twelve aldermen, who in the month of June in that year, elected Colonel Henry Ingoldsby Mayor.2

Large grants were made in the city and liberties of Limerick, and in particular in the North Liberties, to Sir William Petty, surveyor-general, for the services performed in the celebrated Down Survey under which the

2 Sir Henry Ingoldsby, M.P. for Limerick, was son of Sir Richard Ingoldsby, knt. (by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Oliver Cromwell, K.B.) and brother of Sir Richard Ingoldsby, K.B. an eminent general officer in the Parliamentary army. Sir Henry took a prominent, and, on many occasions, a very savage part in the Irish war, and was very instrumental in subjugating the South of Ireland to Cromwell's power; but, on the death of the Protector, Ingoldsby, who was a Presbyterian in politics and religious views, like Sir Hardress Waller, whose daughter Anne he had married, plotted to overthrow the independent party. He came over from Ireland, seized Windsor Castle, and held it for the party then led by Monk, who eventually restored Charles II. He had been created a Baronet by Cromwell in 1658; but Charles II. conferred the same title on him in 1660. It became extinct with his grandson in 1726, when part of the estates fell to the noble family of Massy.

The Ingoldsbys fared well in the war. Major George Ingoldsby's share of the spoil was large :In the Parish of Ludden, or Luddenbeg he was granted Ballybricken, 404A. 2R. 16P. for £6 2s. 10 d. per an.-In North Ballyharden and Grange

The lands in Tipperary he sold to William Jesse, gent.-Enrolled 12th August, 1666. Sir William Petty by his employment in surveying the forfeited lands in Ireland after the rebellion of 1641, acquired an estate of £6000 a year, and could from Mangerton Mountain, in the Barony of Dunkerron, Co. Kerry, behold 50,000 acres of his own lands, which large acquisition brought such an odium on him that he published a book to show the unreasonableness thereof, entituled "reflections upon some persons and things in Ireland," wherein he demonstrates that he might have acquired as large a fortune, without ever meddling with surveys. "In the year 1649, (says he), I proceeded M.D., after the charge whereof, and my admission into the College of London, I had left about £60. From that time till about August, 1652, by my practice, fellowship at Gresham and at Brazen Nose College, and by my anatomy lectures at Oxford, I had made that £60 to be near £500; from August, 1652, when I went into Ireland, to December, 1654, when I began to survey, and other public engagements, with £100 advance money, and £365 a year of well paid salary, as physician-general to the army, as also by my practice among the chiefs, in a chief city of a nation, I made my said £500 above £1600; for a year in Ireland could not be less than £200, which with £550 for another year's salary and practice-viz. until the lands were set out in October, 1655, would have increased my stock to £2,550, with £2,000 whereof I could have bought £8,000 debentures, which could have then purchased me 15,000 acres of land, viz. as much as I am now accused to have; these 15,000 could not yield me less than 2s. per acre, £1,500 per annum, especially receiving the rents of May day preceding. This year's rent, with £550 for my salary and practice, &c., till December, 1656, would have bought me, even then (debentures growing dearer) £6,000 in debentures, whereof the 5-7ths then paid would have been about £4,000 neat, for which must have had about 8,000 acres more, being as much almost as I conceive is due to me. The rent for 15,000 acres and 8,000 acres, for three years, could not have been less than £7,000, which, with the same three years' salary, viz. £1,650, would have been near £9,000 estate in money, above the before mentioned £2,500 per annum in lands. The which, whether it be more or less than what I now have, I leave to all the world to examine and judge. This estate I must have got without

The names of all that were in arrear were taken accordingly, and lots were drawn, as to what part of the kingdom their portion should be. In this manner, the whole kingdom was divided among the conquerors and the money adventurers. It was also agreed, that the Irish should be transplanted from the south to the north, and so to the contrary, "which did break and shatter that nation in such a manner, that they never could make head afterwards." Orrery states that Broughill knew more about what he did than himself; but as his Lordship's papers were burned at the conflagration of Lord Orrery's house at Charleville, by the Irish, they never came to light.

At this crisis the well known body of Quakers, who had already settled in Limerick, did not escape the persecution of Cromwell, as the following letter manifests ::

To Colonel Ingoldsby.

Sir,-The Council being credibly informed that there are at present in the city of Limerick divers persons, commonly called Quakers, who have repaired thither out of England and other places, making it their practice to wander up and down, seducing divers honest people, neglecting and impoverishing their families, troubling the public peace of the nation, disturbing the congregations of sober Christians in the worship of God, and with railing accusations aspersing and discouraging divers of the godly ministers of the gospel in their faithful labours, and thereby bringing into contempt the ordinances of God, and encouraging evil-minded persons to looseness and pro
