Divers remarkable occurances that have hapned in the tower, London, and Westminster, upon sundry occasions, Friday, Saterday, Sunday, and Munday, July the 1, 2, 3, 4 whereunto is added, a true relation of Mr. Thomas Baroms, of the state of Bandonbridge, in Munster, and the places thereabouts : also the death of Sir Win. Saint Leger, lord president of Munster, with other remarkable passages.

M^r Thomas Barom, Esquire, his Relation of the state of Bandonbridge in Ireland, and the places adjacent: who arrived at Bri∣stow, June 28. being Tuesday, and came thence into London on Sa∣turday, July the 2. 1642.

THis Gentleman saith, that since the death of Sir Win Saint Leger, Lord President of Munster, who departed this life, June 17. at his Plantation and Castle of Downaray; the chie∣fest ground of his sicknesse being thought to be no∣thing so much as discontent, having had no sup∣plies either of monies or men out of England as he expected, and his need required: The Rebels began to grow very insolent in all those parts, have fired Clannakeltie, and pillaged all the English in that En∣glish Market Borough. Colonel Charles Davasor not being able to relieve them, lest he should ha∣zard Corke; the Lord Presidents death not unlike∣ly encouraging them to some daring attempt.

Charles, Macke Cartie, Reuth, appeared before Ban∣don bridge, June the nineteenth and twentieth, ve∣ry boldly, and daringly with eight thousand Re∣bels, three little Field Pieces, and made shew of a resolution to sit downe about the town, wherewith the Inhabitants are very much amazed; for the Garrison under the command of my Lord Killan Meakei, and his Lieutenant Graves, is but foure hun∣dred; all English, and most Townesmen: who by reason of the change of their wonted ordinary diet and lodging, now being forced to make meat of what they can get, not what they would have, and bound almost to nightly watching, are many of them falne into the disease of the Countrey, viz. the Flux, and die twelve or fourteene a week: So that without speedy reliefe, that towne (the fairest Plantation in all Munster) is like to be lost through disease and hunger: For this Gentleman affirmeth, (who perfectly knoweth the place, having lived within sixe miles of it above fifteene yeeres) that although Mack Cartie being of no force in ammuni∣tion considerable to take it by assault, most of his rabble being very ill armed, and Bandon very strongly fortified, yet he may starve them without being Master of the field, and all the Countrie a∣bout; and the maladie waxing strong (being held in that Countrie of an infecting and contagious na∣ture soone make their number grow small within. This Gentleman Master Barom, hath a Petition to deliver unto the honourable House, as touching the inconvenience, and as future; as present, as fatall to the child, as now unto the Father, by this new way

of undertaking, shall it not please the House in sea∣sonable time to put a remedy unto it: for the lands of the English being now all the countrey over sei∣sed by the Rebels, and in processe of time (which God grant with all speed) the Rebels being van∣quished, and their lands by the undertakers divided amongst them, according unto the proportion of their severall summes of money by them disbur∣sed, the said lands are now to be divided of all and entire by the Rebels, and not any part of them be∣longing at all unto the poore distressed English: and so they shall be in as bad a case for matter of liveli∣hood after the conquest, as before; considering that in the Act newly made by both the honourable Houses, and confirmed by his Majesty, there is no mention had of them: So that they are out of all hope of ever recovering any thing in that Kingdom that was ever their owne, shall not the high Court of Parliament with all conveniencie take them in∣to accustomed tender consideration.
