A Copy of the High-Sheriff's Letter, delivered to Mr. French on Good-Friday, 1688. per Captain Jourdon.
May it please your Excellency,
Loughreagh, March 9th. 1688/9.
IT happened on Friday last, the first Day of this Instant, I had Intelligence, that a Party of Horse with Sir Thomas Southwell and others, were making their way through this Country to Sligo or the North, being routed out of Munster; whereupon the Horse and Foot in this Town being command∣ed by Captain Thomas Bourk and Captain Charles Dawly, made ready to intercept the said Sir Thomas and his Party, who met upon a Pass and faced one another; but a Treaty being propo∣sed, they came to Capitulation, wherein it was agreed, that the said Thomas and his Party should lay down such Horse and Arms as was fit for the King's Service; and after so doing, that they and every of their Lives should be secured them, and dismissed with such Passes and Convoys as may bring them safe to their several Habitations without any Harm to their Persons or Goods. All which with Submission at their re∣quests I humbly offer to your Excellency, and subscribe,
Your Excellency's Most Humble, and Most Obedient Servant, JAMES POWER.
