CERTAINE INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND.
Worthy Sir,
I Having not Intelligence of this Bearers going for England, untill this very in∣stant, doe hope that you will excuse my Brevity, to give you an account of the Passages and occurrences of these parts, answerable to that short tract of time which I have allotted to expatiate my selfe in. It is like to be a most miscrable time with us here, if that we should not be speedily relieved with more force out of England; My Lord of Muskrey exspecteth to be King of Munster, and intendeth to beleaguer Corke, and this Fort: But we care not a louse for him nor for all his Forces. All the Papists in Jre∣land are up in Rebellion and have sworne and arti∣cled to dye in this quarrell; There is not an Enghlish

man in all Ireland, that hath a Cow, Sheepe, or Chick left, but what they keepe under the command of a Castle, or walled Towne: and by reason of words made knowne to me, that some of my houschold did heare some of my Tennants say, I was willing to withdraw my Estace and Goods from my House at Ballinrea: for some of my Household, asking some of them what they would doe now, in respect of that rebellion that now ••••s in Ireland, they, answered them, they did intend to joyne themselves to the strongest side. After which Information given unto me of such speeches falling from their mouthes, I had taken all that I had from Ballinrea, and inten∣ded to quit the Castle, but that I was betrayed by my owne Tenants, and lost my Wayne and Oxen, and other things, but to no great value: But they are taken by such neighbours of mine as I wisht might take them, because I hope to have their Lands for it.
To morrow I intend to ride out and to carry a Troops of Horse to Ballinrea, where I intend to hang and burne most part of my Tenants: and I intend before I returne to have a flirt at. Carby of Balea.
The next weeke my Lord President will plant a Piece of Battery against his Castle, which Piece I am now making ready to that purpose: thus time calling me off, for the present I am constrained to forbeare any further Recitall of what is here Novall:
I rest: Your assured Lordships Friend, A. M.
from the fort of Corke, March 11th. 1641.
