Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on the petition of Elizabeth, Countess of Clancarty, on behalf of herself, her son and daughters, and on the report by the Attorney General, Ireland, thereon. We consider petitioner has a legal right to have her dower out of the estate of her late husband, Callaghan, late Earl of Clancarty, which is descended to her son Donough, now Earl of Clancarty, and which is seized upon his outlawry ; and further that she ought to have (out of the estate) the damages amounting to 6,280l. which she recovered by a judgment at law for detention of her dower from the death of her husband. Her other pretensions out of the estate, for which she has a great deal of equity, consist of several debts for which she is liable and which were contracted for purchasing chief rents now comprehended in the forfeiture and for the portion of her daughter Lady Hellen, who was married to Mr. Colville, and for maintenance of her three younger daughters etc., the whole amounting to 5,784l. 7s. 8d., which are sworn to (to the extent of 5,092l. 10s. 0d.) by John Murray, who was employed in managing the estate. Notwithstanding, in point of law she must submit entirely to your Majesty's clemency in regard to these latter claims. She has four daughters whom she has bred up Protestants. Their father intended to settle portions on them, but died suddenly of an apoplexy before completing the settlement, and they are left destitute. The House of Lords was so sensible thereof that in 1690 in a Bill for vesting forfeited estates in Ireland they added a proviso to charge these estates with 6,500l. to petitioner for her last mentioned pretences and 4,000l. each to the said three daughters then unmarried, but the Parliament was prorogued before the Bill passed.
A custodiam may be granted of the estates at 700l. per an. rent (the rent formerly payable thereout) until satisfaction of petitioner's demands and of what your Majesty may appoint for the daughters.
On behalf of the Earl, petitioner's counsel presses for the reversal of the attainder "for that when the petitioner had taken great care to have him strictly bred in the Protestant religion at Oxford he was without her knowledge brought from thence and put into the Army in Ireland before he was 15 years of age, where he continued till the late King James arrived there, who had such apprehensions of his leaving of him that he confined him three months a prisoner, and though he was afterwards in some command yet that he was still under age and could not get from thence : that when the Earl of Marlborough arrived at Cork the said Earl of Clancarty with others in that garrison did capitulate and surrender themselves and the town on the 28th Sept., 1690, upon terms, and that it was by the Articles agreed that there should be no prejudice done them, and from thence the said Earl was brought and hath since remained a prisoner of war and that the said surrender was within less than twelve month after the outlawry in England against him, which was in Feb., 1689-90 : that though he be not within the strict letter yet he is within the equity and meaning of the statute of 5 and 6 Edw. VI, and should be admitted to traverse the said indictment and avoid the said outlawry, having surrendered himself as aforesaid and by his confinement being disabled literally to pursue the same, hoping that his said surrendering of himself without prejudice and being under age and other circumstances may move your Majesty not further to prosecute him at your Majesty's suit for what happened before his said surrender as aforesaid : that as to the outlawries in Ireland the same were had against him while he was a prisoner in the Tower, which (as hath been insisted upon) is a plain error in fact for which the outlawries in Ireland ought to be in law set aside and reversed : but that the Attorney General in Ireland delayeth to let any writ of error issue till he receive your Majesty's decision therein."
We offer no opinion on the reasons for reversing the outlawry, being firstly matters of law, but submit same to your Majesty.
