	That the petitioner William Bourke has been lately disturbed in his possession of the lands of Conahy by virtue of a contract made April 26, 1682, by Edmund Bray with Sir William Talbot, bart., for a lease of those lands (amongst several others) to be made to him by his now Majesty for 31 years at the rent of 80l. per annum upon pretence that the lands of Conahy were not contained in William Bourke's lease; whereupon suits were commenced against Bourke in his Majesty's name before his access to the Crown at the charge of Edmund Bray, wherein he has deposed that he has expended 70l.; that Bourke, in the time of the pretended Popish Plot, was imprisoned and indicted for high treason, and acquitted, whereby he was much impoverished and has little left now to live upon besides the said lease from his Majesty, though his estate in 1641 was considerable.
	Sir William Talbot, his Majesty's chief commissioner and agent in Ireland for managing the lands belonging to his Majesty before his access to the Crown, has signified that the proportion of Edmund Bray's rent for the lands of Conahy when recovered would amount to 12l. per annum or thereabouts, and that at the time of his making the contract with Bray he knew nothing of the memorandum endorsed by his Royal Highness's Commissioners on the contract made with Richard Southwell, but set the same to Bray who had formerly recovered several other parcels of land which he had discovered to be withheld without title from his Royal Highness, as he then believed the lands of Conahy were.
	On the whole matter the Solicitor is of opinion that Bourke may be suffered to enjoy the lands of Conahy by virtue of his lease of the lands of Killonan, and that Bray, having contracted with Sir William Talbot for a lease of the said lands, and having laid out money for the recovery thereof for his Majesty's use, should be reimbursed.

1643 Sept. 17. Clonmell.	Sir Jo[hn] Meade and Sir Ritchard Ryves, Justices of Assize for co. Tipperary to the Lords Justices of Ireland. Having recd. your Lordships' letters of the 24th day of July last wherein was enclosed the information of John Kennedy and several others concerning a meeting at Burreskeane in the county of Tipperary on Sunday night 21st of June last and requiring us to examine that matter and take care that the same should be prosecuted according to law at this Assizes, and of our proceedings therein we were required to give your Lordships an account from time to time; in obedience to which command of your Lordships we take leave humbly to inform your Lordships that the persons who gave in the said informations personally appearing to prosecute, a bill of indictment of a riotous and seditious unlawful assembly was drawn and sent to the Grand Jury, which bill on the examinations of the several informants was found against seventy-nine persons, whereof twelve were persons that lived in the County within two miles or thereabouts of the place and the rest were poor people the inhabitants of the said town; on which indictment about sixty of the said persons came to their trial, the rest being extra; and on the trial it appears to us on due examination of the matter and fully hearing all the witnesses that were produced, either for the King or the traversers that on Sunday the 21st day of June last a rumour had been spread abroad in the town of Burres[keane] and in the several villages about it that on that night there was a rising to be of the Irish and that they should have their throats cut by them with which they being much frighted did sit up that night and many of them walked the streets, and some of them had arms (viz.) some had swords, others had staves and some had guns; that there was a watch placed in the said town of about a dozen men, armed as aforesaid, among whom was John Hinson then constable of that parish; that one Owen McRory and John Kennedy, yeomen, who lived a mile or two distance from Burreskeane, coming about twelve or one of the clock at night to town and giving no good account why they came thither at so unseasonable an hour were seized on by the said watch, threatened to be put in the stocks but were not, and were detained in custody till daylight, at which time they were discharged and going away were, at the end of the town, stopped by Thomas Simpson and some others of the inhabitants whose names the witnesses did not know who asked them who they were and where they were going so early and the said Thomas Simpson pointed a half pike he had in his hand at them but did them no further harm; it also appears to us that Capt. Henry Legg and his three sons, Edward, Theophilus and John Legg did come that night about nine of the clock from the said Capt. Legg's house (which is three miles in the country) to Burreskeane and that he brought his wife and a young child and one servant with him, and that he and his sons had swords and pistols (which as it was sworn were arms they often ride with) and a carbine or two with them and that Robert Queale and John Clerke came that night to the town, and that Queale had a sword, but Clerke had no arms, which were all the strangers that appeared by the evidences to be in the town that night, except the Dean of Derry and his servants (although the examinations sent us by your Lordships makes the number much greater). It appears also to us that Capt. Legg and his sons had been that day at a place called Ballingarry at Church and that his son, Edward, was there, among many others, confirmed by the Bishop of Killaloe, and that he was abed in his own house when one John Clerke, constable of the parish wherein he dwelt came to his house and gave him notice of the said report - whereupon he rose and being in a great fear and his wife, by the apprehensions of the danger fallen in a swoon (his house being but a thatched one and easily to be forced) he and his wife and children went immediately to Burreskeane as a place of more security if any danger were and putting up his horses at an Inn went and lodged at one Mr. Boate's house and was not proved either to say or act then any thing else that was either seditious or against the King's peace. It did also appear to us that as soon as it was day all the said persons laid by their swords, sticks and guns and went about their lawful occasions and that the said Capt. Legg and his sons went also home at break of day and that Edward Legg did immediately give notice of the said false report to Thomas Sadler, a Justice of Peace of the said county of Tipperary and of the fear the people of Burres[keane], he and his father and their whole family had been put in by it; and that afterwards the said Edward Legg did prosecute the raisers and spreaders of the said report so effectually that he had them convict of it the last assizes held for the King's County at Birr; and the King's Counsel and the Counsel of the Lord of the Regalities did waive the prosecution of several persons who were sworn by the witnesses to be there that night, there being positive evidence of their being at other places; on which evidence the Jury having chanted (sic) for some hours they returned their verdict wherein they found ten of the said persons guilty of the said indictment, all of them dwellers in the said town of Burreskeane but Edward Legg, whereon we have given judgment and fined and imprisoned the said persons; all which we humbly certify and submit to your Lordships as becomes our duty. Endorsed: Certificate from Judges of Assize, co. Tipperary concerning a riot at Burreskeane (see No. 1689 below).

1644 Sept. 19. Taunton.	Lord Chief Justice Jeffreys to the King. I most humbly beseech your Majesty to give me leave to lay hold of this opportunity by my Lord Churchill to give your Majesty an account that I have this day finished what was necessary for your Majesty's service in this place, and beg leave that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to let me refer to my Lord Churchill for the particulars. For I have not as yet perfected my papers so as to be able to do it so exactly as my duty to your Majesty's service requires. I received your Majesty's commands by my Lord Sunderland about the rebels your Majesty designs for transportation, but I beseech your Majesty that I may inform you that each prisoner will be worth 10l., if not 15l., a piece, and, sir, if your Majesty orders them as you have already designed, persons that have not suffered in your service will run away with the booty, and I am sure, sir, your Majesty will be continually perplexed with petitions for recompences for sufferers as well as for rewards for servants. Sir, I hope your Majesty will pardon this presumption. I know it is my duty to obey. I have only respited doing anything till I know your Royal pleasure is they should have the men: for upon my allegiance to you, sir, I shall never trim in my obedience to your commands in all things. Sir, had not your Majesty been pleased to declare your gracious intentions to them that served you in the soldiery and also to the many distressed families ruined by this late rebellion, I durst not have presumed to have given your Majesty this trouble. Sir, I will when I have the honour to kiss your Majesty's hands humbly acquaint you with all matters your Majesty hath been graciously pleased to entrust me with, and doubt not, sir, but to be able to propose a way how to gratify all such as your Majesty shall be pleased to think deserving of it without touching your Exchequer. I most humbly throw myself at your Royal feet for your pardon for this presumption, which I was emboldened to by your Majesty's most gracious acceptance of my mean services. Sir, I beg leave to enclose some papers of the confessions and behaviour of those that were executed since my last. I purpose for Bristol on Monday and thence to Wells, and shall not dare to trouble your Majesty any further except it be to beseech your Royal pardon for all the mistakes and crave leave heartily and humbly to assure your Majesty I had rather die than omit any opportunity wherein I might approve myself, Royal sir, your Majesty's most dutiful and obedient subject and servant.
