And to the end the Subjects of this Kingdom may be in some measure eased of those charges which are usual and ordinary in passing of Letters Patents, Be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, that it shall and may be lawful to and for so many of His Majesty's Subjects as shall desire the same, to be joined in one and the same Letters Patents, the due cautions before mentioned being therein observed, so as the Lands thereby granted in case of such being joined, exceed not the quantity of fifteen thousand acres English measure in one Patent; Nevertheless it shall and may be lawful to and for the Lord Lieutenant, or other chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, and Council there for the time being, in these and all other cases touching Patents to be granted by virtue of this Act, to regulate and moderate the fees of Officers as they shall think fit, according to circumstances. And be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That where any Lands shall be allotted unto, or detained by any Adventurer or Soldier, or the Heir, Executor, Assignee or Assigns of any Adventurer or Soldier, for and towards his and their full two third parts, or for any part thereof, which lands so allotted or detained as aforesaid, shall be subject to any Estate, Remainder or other Encumbrance already decreed by the Commissioners for execution of the said former Act, or allowed by the rules of the said former or this Act, That then and in such case, the Commissioners for execution of this present Act, shall allot so much other forfeited land, as may fully satisfy for such Encumbrance, and cause the same to be entered in Books returned into the Exchequer: To the end, that upon Certificates made in manner aforesaid, Letters Patents may be thereof granted and passed as aforesaid: And therefore the Commissioners are with all speed to cast up the value of such Encumbrances, as by reason of any former Decree shall charge any part of the said two third parts, that so a recompense may be provided as aforesaid: And in the estimate and valuation of such Encumbrances for which a recompense is to be provided, the Commissioners are to proceed by such rules and measures, as by the Instructions in the said former Act contained, were given for the valuation and estimate of such Encumbrances on the Lands of Adventurers and Soldiers as were therein appointed to be satisfied out of the forfeited lands in the County of Kildare, as near as may be, and as far as may stand with equity and justice. And it is further Declared and Enacted, That where any securities for money have been allowed by the Decrees of the Commissioners for execution of the said former Act, wherewith any land set out and allotted, or to be set out and allotted to any Adventurer or Soldier, his or their Heirs or Assigns shall or may be encumbered, that all interest thereupon due before the Nine and twentieth day of May, One thousand six hundred and sixty, shall be, and is hereby discharged: Nevertheless, the interest already received shall not be repaid, and from and after the Nine and twentieth day of May, One thousand six hundred and sixty, unto the times of the several and respective Decrees, no further or greater interest shall be satisfied or paid for any the moneys due upon the said security, than after the rate of Forty shillings per cent. for one year; And from and after the time of the respective Decrees, full interest shall be satisfied and paid; and further, that lands shall be set out in full satisfaction of what shall remain due, after such abatement made as aforesaid, according to the rate of eight years' purchase, to such person or persons as shall be prejudiced by such Encumbrances, by having his land liable thereunto, or by his purchasing and buying in of the same, and that no part of the land so allotted or detained as aforesaid may be subject to, or charged with any other Encumbrance not Decreed by the Commissioners for execution of the said former Act, or already allowed in the said former Act or this Act, Be it Enacted, That all & every such Encumbrances as against the Adventurer or Soldier so settled as aforesaid, other than such Encumbrances as are the proper act of the party so to be settled, or those under whom he claims be utterly void, & of none effect. And to the end that no person or persons who upon the seventh day of May, one thousand six hundred fifty and nine was in possession of any lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, as an Adventurer or Soldier, or as the Heir, Executor, or Assignee of such Adventurer or Soldier, may hereafter be molested or impeached in the making out of his or their title in or to the lands so possessed or debarred of such satisfaction, and other the benefits and advantages which by this Act is given to them, who were so possessed as aforesaid, for want of producing such Measn Conveyances, or such legal and formal Assignments as in strictness of Law might otherwise be required, Be it Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That where any person or persons, or those under whom he or they claim, were in possession of any Lands or Tenements upon the seventh day of May, One thousand six hundred fifty and nine, which were set out, or reputed to be held and enjoyed for and towards the satisfaction of any Adventures or Arrears, that there and in such cases no proof of the Measn Conveyances or other Assignments shall be required, but the possession itself shall be, and so is hereby declared a sufficient evidence of the Title, unless the same Lands have been likewise claimed by some other Adventurer or Soldier, his or their Heirs, Executors, Administrators or Assigns respectively: In which case the Commissioners for execution of this Act, shall upon such evidence as can be produced before them, determine the Title: And because there are several persons who pretend themselves able to discover much land, which is detained and concealed by the Adventurers and Soldiers, their Heirs or Assigns by false admeasurement, although it be probable that after so long a tract of time, such discoveries may not produce any great effect; Nevertheless, for the avoiding the scandal of such frauds, and to give just satisfaction to all persons and interests, who may pretend themselves to be prejudiced by such concealments, Be it Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the Lord Lieutenant, or other chief Governor and Governors of Ireland, and Council there for the time being, shall have power upon information to them made of any such concealments by false admeasurement as aforesaid, to cause a new survey to be made of the parcels and lots wherein such false admeasurement is pretended, observing therein these rules and cautions following; First, That such information be given in within the space of three month's next after the passing of this Act. Secondly, That the Defendant or Defendants against whom such information is given, be first heard, before any new survey be ordered. Thirdly, That the Informer or Informers do first put in security by Recognizance acknowledged before the Lord Chief justice of the Common Pleas for the time being, and with good and sufficient Sureties to be by him allowed, to bear the whole charges of the new Survey, and over and above to pay and satisfy unto the Defendant or Defendants his and their full Damages and Costs which they shall sustain by such prosecution, and shall offer to make Oath of before the said Lord Chief justice, in case that upon the return of such survey, it shall not appear that the Defendant or Defendants against whom such new Survey is ordered, were possessed of more land by a full tenth part than he or they ought to have. Fourthly, Where any new Survey is ordered, the same shall be taken by two Surveyors to be chosen for that purpose, one by the Informer, the other by the Defendants, and both Surveyors shall be sworn. Fifthly, Where the Books of Distribution and the Down Survey agree in the satisfactions, which have been allotted to any Regiments, Troops, Societies or persons, or do not differ more than in one tenth, there no resurvey shall be ordered, notwithstanding such information. Sixthly, What overplus soever shall appear upon the new Survey, if the same exceed not one tenth part of what is due to the Defendant or Defendants, no Retrenchment shall be made. Seventhly, If the overplus exceed a tenth, it shall be lawful to and for such Defendant or Defendants possessed of the overplus, to retrench the same where they think fit, so as such Retrenchments be contiguous, and of unprofitable land, together with the profitable, but is hereby discharged of all accounts for the Measn profits of the lands so retrenched. Eighthly, If the information of false admeasurement be against a Soldier, or his Heirs or Assigns, there the lot of the whole Regiment, Troop or Company shall be first surveyed, and if the same exceed not one tenth part of what such Regiment, Troop or Company ought to have, than no survey shall be taken of any individual lot or proportion. Ninthly, Where the lot of the Regiment, Troop or Company shall exceed one tenth part of what they ought to have, there the individual parcel to be admeasured, if there be cause of Retrenchment, may retrench where he thinks fit, so as such retrenchment be contiguous. Tenthly, Whereas some lots for satisfying the Army fall in a good and bad County or Barony, such as Kerry and Limerick, & Dowhallow and Orrery, & whereas the Soldiers before they came to a particular Dividend of their general lot, did mutually consent, that when a lot should fall in a bad County or Barony, the persons to whom it there fell, should have more acres, & when it fell in a good County they should have less acres, or that the acres in the bad County should have a less rate or value set on them, And the acres in the good County a greater rate or value should be set on them, It is therefore declared that no overplus of acres in the bad County shall be considered as such an overplus as is liable to retrenchment, but with a due respect to such mutual agreements as were made in the general lot of the Regiment, Troop, Company or Society before the persons concerned in it came to a subdivision. Eleaventhly, No defendant or defendants whose lots are not to be found within the books of distribution, books of debentures, or books of Grocers-Hall, shall be liable to any new survey or readmeasurent, his evidences being lost. Twelfthly and lastly, All proceed in order to a new Survey or readmeasurement which shall not be finished and perfected within nine months' next after passing this Act shall cease and be void and the defendant to be discharged of all such inquiries for concealments upon such informations. And for the further directions of the Commissioners for execution of this Act in their proceed touching Encumbrances, It is ●●reby declared that where the estate in any messages, La●ds, Tenements or Hereditaments recovered by any Irish Claimant by virtue of any decree herein confirmed is no other nor greater than for the life of such Claimant only, there and in such case the Commissioners for Execution of this Act shall give the person or persons against whom such decree hath been made or those who claim under them his and their election whether they will accept the reversion in fee of the Lands so encumbered with an estate for life expectant, upon the determination of the said estate, in lieu of their two third parts for the same, or will rather choose to have their full two third parts set out and allotted to them presently, out of some other forfeited Lands, And the Commissioners shall give them certificates in order to their passing of Letters Patents either of the reversion of the whole or of two third parts in possession, according as such election shall be made. And where the estate in any Messages, Lands Tenements or Hereditaments recovered by any Irish Claimant by virtue of any decree herein confirmed is such an estate in remainder or reversion as will leave unto the person or persons against whom such decree hath been made an estate for the life of some other person only; The Commissioners for Execution of this Act shall likewise give the person or persons against whom such decree hath been made or those who claim under them, his or their Election whether they will choose to continue the possession of the whole Land during the life of such person, and accept the estate for life in the whole Land in satisfaction of one of the third parts, which would otherwise be due by the rules of this Act, and demand no further allotment of any other forfeited Land than what shall be equal in quantity of acres to one third part only, or whether they would rather desire to have their two full third parts to be set out and allotted presently out of some other forfeited Lands and to relinquish the possession of that estate which they hold for life, And the Commissioners are to proceed to give certificates in order to Letters Patents according to the consequence and event of such election, And be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid that the Commissioners for Execution of this Act do forthwith and with all convenient speed set out and allot or cause to be set out and allotted unto the Archbishops and Bishops in the said former Act in that behalf named respectively, and to their and every of their respective Successors for ever such augmentations and allowances, and out of such Lands as were formerly held or reputed to be held in fee farm of any Archbishop, Bishop, Dean, Dean and Chapter or other Ecclesiastical person in his or their politic capacity under the reservation of any cheifry, rend or other duty or service, and in such way and manner as by the said former Act is directed and appointed, Provided always and be it Enacted that where any Manors, Lands or Tenements not lying within the security set a part for the satisfaction of the Commissioned Officers who served in Ireland before the fifth of June One thousand six hundred forty nine, nor by the said former Act or this present Act otherwise disposed to any particular person or persons, have been given and granted to any such Archbishop or Bishop and his and their Successors by virtue of any Letters Patents under the Great Seal of Ireland bearing date since the passing of the said former Act for or towards his and their respective augmentations and allowances, that then and in such cases the Commissioners for Execution of this Act shall cause the Lands so granted as aforesaid to be surveyed and valued, and if upon the return of such survey, it shall appear that the lands so granted as aforesaid, do not exceed the value of such Augmentations and allowances as by the said former Act were intended to be settled upon the respective Archbishops and Bishops to whom such Letters Patents were granted, than the lands so granted as aforesaid shall be held and enjoyed by the several and respective Archbishops, Bishops, and their Successors, according to the tenor of their respective Letters Patents; And that the said Letters Patents shall be of like force and effect as any other Letters Patents granted to Adventurers or Soldiers, by virtue of this Act are or aught to be: but if the lands so granted as aforesaid, shall exceed the value of such Augmentation, as by the said former Act was intended to be settled on the Archbishop or Bishop to whom the said lands were granted, than the Commissioners for execution of this Act shall cause such Retrenchment of the overplus to be made, as may leave unto the respective Archbishops and Bishops his and their due Augmentations and Allowances, with as much conveniency and contiguity as may be, and the Lands and Tenements so left unto the said Archbishops and Bishops, shall be held and enjoyed by them and their Successors respectively, as fully and amply as the same might have been enjoyed, in case the lands granted by the said Letters Patents had not exceeded the value intended by the said former Act, and the said Letters Patents, as to so much of the lands therein contained, which shall be retrenched by the Commissioners as aforesaid, are hereby declared to be null and void, and the lands so retrenched, shall remain and be vested in His Majesty to the uses of this present Act; And if the lands so granted as aforesaid, shall fall short of the value of such Augmentations as in and by the said former Act was intended to be settled, the Commissioners for execution of this Act shall cause the same to be supplied and made up by a further allotment out of such lands, and in such way and manner as by the said former Act was directed.

And because many persons did put in their claims before the Commissioners for execution of the said former Act as innocent persons, thereby demanding some small parcel of land only, or deriving his or their title to some small part from some Irish Papist, and thereupon no opposition being made, the said Commissioners declared the said Claimant, or the person under whom the Claimant derived, to be innocent quo ad hoc, since which time the said Claimants, and the said persons under whom they derive, alleging themselves to be declared innocent, enter upon great estates in several Counties, as devested out of the Crown by such judgement of Innocence, pretending the limitation of that Innocence by the words of the Decree quo ad hoc to be repugnant and impossible, contrary to the intention and meaning of the said Commissioners by them publicly declared, whereas if the whole estates to which the said persons now pretend, had been then in question before the said Commissioners, the several Adventurers and Soldiers therein concerned, had been summoned to have taken notice thereof, and might have made such opposition, and produced such proof of their nocency as they thought fit, Be it therefore Enacted, That no Decree wherein any person or persons have been declared innocent quo ad hoc, shall give such person or persons any title by virtue of any such Decree, to enter upon, or enjoy any more or other lands than what were particularly mentioned in such Decrees, but that all other the lands of such person or persons declared innocent quo ad hoc, which were sequestered upon the account of the late Rebellion or War, shall remain and continue in His Majesty, to the uses of this and the said former Act, Any thing in either of the said Acts to the contrary notwithing. Provided also, and be it Enacted, That nothing herein contained, shall extend in any wise to ratify or confirm the Decree made by the Commissioners for execution of the said former Act, wherein and whereby Oliver Earl of Tyreconnel hath been declared to be nocent, but that the said Decree, and every part thereof, shall be, and so is hereby declared to be null and void, as if the same had never been had or made, and that the said Oliver Earl of Tyreconnel, and all others who upon the Three and twentieth of October, One thousand six hundred forty one, or at any time since were or are seized to his use, or in trust for him, or in trust for Sir Thomas Fitz William, late Vicecount Meryon, Father to the said Earl, or Christopher Fitz Williams, Uncle to the said Earl, or in trust for the Countess of Tyreconnel, Wife of the said Earl of Tyreconnel, & for her separate maintenance or claiming by, from or under him, the said Earl of Tyreconnel, shall be and continue in such like estate and condition, and no other nor better, than he or they ought to have been in case no such Decree had ever been made, subject nevertheless to such Quit Rents as by this Act are imposed, Any thing herein, or in the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And be it further Enacted, That the said Oliver Earl of Tyreconnel shall hold and enjoy to him and his heirs the lands in Cappock in the County of Dublin, and Hanlaston and Athronan in the County of Meath, mortgaged by the Lord Vicecount fitzs William his Father, now forfeited to His Majesty, and that His Majesty's Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England, bearing date the eight day of June, in the sixteenth year of His Majesty's Reign, containing His Majesty's gracious pardon to the said Earl of Tyreconnel, and a clause of Restitution of all the lands and Tenements of the said Earl, shall be, and is hereby confirmed and shall be held and enjoyed accordingly, subject to Quit Rents as aforesaid.

And because several persons have been decreed innocent, but nevertheless have not been restored to the lands which they claimed before the Commissioners for Execution of the said former Act, but have been left to the course of law for the recovery of their possessions by trying their titles grounded upon the validity of those evidences by which they pretended to claim, Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That all and every person & persons who were defendant or defendants in the suit or claim upon which such decree was made as aforesaid, and those claiming by from and under them, shall within three months' next after the sitting of the Commissioners for Execution of this Act, declare and make his and their election by writing under his and their hands and Seals, or under the hands and Seals of his and their Attorneys or Agents thereunto lawfully authorized, whether they will immediately deliver up and relinquish the possession of the lands in controversy unto the King's Majesty, and resort to their proportionable satisfaction out of other forfeited lands, which if they do elect, they are to be admitted accordingly, and shall be satisfied his and their full two third parts, and so much more as may be Equivalent to his and their buildings and improvements, and then shall part with the said lands, or whether they will rather abide the trial at law, which if they do elect and the Irish claimant should fail to prosecute his title, or a verdict or judgement shall be given against such Irish claimants, or the person or persons who shall derive under such Irish claimant, then shall such Adventurer or Soldier, or other person or persons his or their Heirs, Executors or Assigns who shall be concerned in that suit, for ever and finally hold the said land in question, and every part thereof to him and his Heirs; but in case verdict or judgement be given for the title of the Irish claimant, or no such election be made as aforesaid, the Adventurer or Soldier or other person, his or their Heirs, Executors or Assigns shall be excluded from demanding or having his two third parts or any other satisfaction, which otherwise he might have had in respect of such land so recovered as aforesaid: Nevertheless it is hereby declared that no other title shall be admitted to be alleged or given in evidence by such Irish claimant or any claiming under them, but such title as was alleged in the claim exhibited before the Commissioners for the Execution of the said former Act: Provided that if any secret agreement be made between the Irish Claimant and the party concerned as aforesaid directly or indirectly, and the person so agreeing shall obtain any satisfaction for or in respect of the lands so agreed for, that then and in such case the party so offending shall forfeit double the value of the lands so obtained, one Moiety to the King's Majesty, the other Moiety to the Informer, to be recovered in like manner as other forfeitures are herein appointed to be recovered. And be it further Enacted that all and every person and persons who now have any grants or Patents of any lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, or of any titles of honour or dignity, or of any annuity, pension, office or employment within this Kingdom, not already enroled, do cause the same to be enroled in the Chancery of Ireland within the space of two years next after the Royal assent to this Bill actually given under pain of forfeiture of two years' value of any lands, Tenements, annuities, pensions or offices whereof the Patents shall not be enroled as aforesaid, one Moiety to the King's Majesty, his Heirs and Successors, the other Moiety to him or them that shall & will sue for the same to be recovered by action of Debt, Bill, Plaint or information in any Court of Record, wherein no essoign, protection or wager of law, to be allowed, or any more than one imparlance, and that all & every person & persons having any Patents touching or concerning any title of honour or dignity not already enroled or to be enroled within the time aforesaid, shall forfeit and lose the sum of one hundred pounds sterling, one Moiety thereof to the King's Majesty, his Heirs & Successors, the other moiety to him or them that shall & will sue for the same to be recovered as aforesaid.

And whereas in and by certain Letters Patents passed under the Great Seal of Ireland, and bearing date the Seaventh day of March, in the twelfth year of the Reign of His Majesty's Royal Father, the Territories and precinct of Feartry in the County of Wicklow, and certain other Manors, lands and Tenements in the said Letters Patents contained, were thereby given and granted unto Sir John Coke knight and his Heirs, his late Majesty's principal Secretary of Estate, And whereas Thomas Coke late of Grayes-Inn in the County of Middlesex, His Majesty's Solicitor General, sonn of the said Sir John Cook Deceased, was in his life time lawfully seized of, or otherwise entitled unto the said Territory and precinct of Feartry, and other the lands and Tenements in the said Letters Patents contained, the Inheritance whereof after the Death of the said Thomas Coke Deceased, did descend and come or of right aught to have descended and came unto _____ Coke an infant only Sonn and Heir of the said Thomas Coke Deceased, Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That no sequestration or allotment of any of the lands or Tenements in the said Letters Patents contained, to any Adventurer or Soldier, shall any way Barr or weaken the right or title of him the said _____ Coke in or the said lands or Tenements but that he the said _____ Coke shall and may hold & enjoy the same to him and his Heirs, according to the tenor and effect of the said Letters Patents, any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And whereas in this and the said former Act, great care is taken of the relict and Heirs of Sir Simon Harcourt Knight Deceased, upon whom his Majesty's Royal Father did by Letters under his Privy Signet appoint that lands of the value of four hundred pounds per annum, to be taken out of the forfeited estate of Luke Nettervill, should be settled, part of which estate together with certain Houses in Dublin, were set out accordingly, and the relict and Heirs of Sir Simon Harcourt thereof possessed at the time of His Majesties late Gracious Declaration, and so still are, which lands and Houses together are, as is alleged, still short of the value of four hundred pounds per annum, intended to be settled as aforesaid, It is therefore Explained and Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful to and for Sir Philip Harcourt Knight, son and heir of Sir Simon Harcourt Knight, to hold and enjoy to him and his heirs, the houses in the City of Dublin, so as aforesaid set out and possessed, so as the houses and lands together, do not exceed the value of Four hundred pounds per annum, Any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And whereas Thomas Cunningham and Captain Lewis Dick in the year, One thousand six hundred forty two, pretended to have performed acceptable services against the then Rebels in Ireland, by hindering provision coming to them by Sea, and by relieving the English Garrisons which were in distress, wherein they so far gained belief, as that they obtained from the Treasurer for the Irish Adventurers and acknowledgement, that they paid in Seven thousand pounds, as money adventured, and for which they likewise had a certificate from the Committee of Adventurers sitting at Grocers-Hall in London; And howbeit the said Thomas Cunningham, or Captain Lewis Dick never did any service on the coast of Ireland, according to the said undertaking, nor paid in any money as other Adventurers did, yet by colour of the said certificate, there were set out for the said Seven thousand pounds, the number of fifteen thousand five hundred fifty and five acres of Land in the County of Tipperary and Limerick, whereof they the said Thomas Cunningham and Captain Lewis Dick, or their Assigns, were possessed the seventh of May, One thousand six hundred fifty nine: Now lest by the general rule of the present settlement, the said number of acres, or two third parts thereof, so unduly obtained as aforesaid, should be secured to the said Thomas Cunningham and Captain Lewis Dick, or their Assigns, His Majesty is graciously pleased that it be Enacted, and be it Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the said fifteen thousand five hundred fifty five acres, so set out as aforesaid for and on pretence of the said Seven thousand pounds, shall be, remain and continue, and are hereby vested in his Majesty, His Heirs and Successors for ever: Provided nevertheless, That if the said Thomas Cunningham and Captain Lewis Dick, their Heirs or Assigns, shall within two months after the Royal Assent shall be actually given to this present Bill, make it appear by full and clear proof, before the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors and Council of Ireland, that the said Adventure money of Seven thousand pounds was really and bona fide issued and paid in pursuant to the several Acts made by His late Sacred Majesty, for reducing the Rebels of Ireland, than they shall have the like benefit and advantage by the said Adventure, and out of the said fifteen thousand five hundred fifty five acres, as other Adventurers are to have by virtue of this present Act. Be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors of this Kingdom for the time being, shall and may assess any sum not exceeding three pence per acre, in and out of every acre of profitable land of Plantation measure, which is by the late Court of Claims, or shall be pursuant to this or the former Act, decreed or confirmed, or set out or delivered unto any person or persons of the Popish Religion in this Kingdom, and the same to cause to be levied by Distress or otherwise, and to be paid unto the receivers herein after mentioned, to the intent that Five thousand pounds be paid to Milo Power Esq his Executors, Administrators and Assigns, and that the residue may afterwards be issued out unto such of the Roman Catholics of this Kingdom, who as Agents, or otherwise since His Majesty's most happy restitution, shall by the Lord Lieutenant, or other chief Governor or Governors be judged meriting the same, and that in such proportions as the said Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors shall think fit and direct. Whereas Colonel Cary Dillon hath been dispossessed of Two thousand and six hundred and four acres of land, whereof he was possessed the seventh of May, One thousand six hundred fifty and nine, as being set out unto him for service in Ireland, and which were confirmed unto him by the said former Act, amounting to Three hundred and fifty pounds per annum; And whereas the late Lords justices had by their two Orders bearing date the eighteenth and nineteenth of July, One thousand six hundred sixty and two, assigned certain lands in the County of Galway, unto the said Colonel Cary Dillon, for his Reprisal of the whole, and also for satisfying of him Three hundred and fifty pounds sterling, which was one years rend of what he had lost, grown due unto him from the time he had been dispossessed, but the said Colonel Dillon received no benefit thereby, Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the Commissioners appointed to put in execution this Act, shall forthwith set out and allot unto the said Colonel Cary Dillon, his Heirs and Assigns for ever, One thousand seven hundred thirty five acres of profitable forfeited lands, of twenty one foot to the perch, being two third parts in quantity of what he hath already lost as a Soldier, and that the same do in present yield two full third parts of Three hundred and fifty pounds per annum, being the value of what he hath lost as aforesaid, with as much convenience of building and other advantages thereon as they can, in regard of the considerableness of the places and buildings from whence he is removed, which shall be granted unto him by like Letters Patents, as any other Soldier by this Act are to have; And if the said Commissioners shall think it necessary, that a Commission be issued for the inquiry into the value of any Lands, Castles, Tenements or other Hereditaments, in order to the setting out of the said Reprize, the Chancellor or Keeper of the Great Seal for the time being, are hereby required to issue the same, Any thing in this Act, or the said former Act to the contrary notwithstanding. And whereas upon a solemn hearing before His Majesty at His Council Board in England, upon a Petition exhibited by several Adventurers and Soldiers against Randall Lord Marquis of Antrim, and against the judgement and Decree given by the major part of the late Commissioners for execution of the said former Act, whereby the said Marquis was adjudged innocent, His Majesty after much time spent in the examination of the case, declared that he saw no cause why the said Marquis should be adjudged innocent, much less that the Commissioners not at all considering the proofs which they heard against the said Marquis, should lay the whole weight of their judgement upon His Majesty's Certificate, the said Certificate being only to declare, that the Marquis was employed into Ireland, to procure what Forces he could from thence, to be transported into Scotland, for his late Majesty's service under the late Marquis of Montross, To the end that the conversation of the said Marquis of Antrim in the Rebel's quarters, which was necessary for that service, might not according to the letter of the former Act render him criminal, if that had been the only, as it was the least objection against him, And therefore His Majesty resolved that the said Marquis of Antrim should undergo a new trial, to prevent which the said Marquis of Antrim by an humble Petition to His Majesty did acknowledge himself guilty, and humbly besought His Majesty, That he might be supported by his mercy, as being not able to support himself by his own innocence, Therefore His Majesty is pleased that it may be Enacted, and be it Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the said Decree and all and every clause therein contained shall be and so is hereby declared to be null and void to all intents and purposes as if the same had never been had or made; Nevertheless His Majesty Reflecting upon the many services heretofore performed by the said Marquis towards his Royal Father of Blessed Memory, and some eminent services done by the said Marquis for his Majesty himself, the said Marquis having besides assisting him with Arms and ammunition when he was in the West, furnished him with ships to make his escape into foreign parts, when his Armies were defeated in the West, and considering that His Majesty's mercy is by this Act extended to some who have as much Demerited, Is graciously pleased that it may be further Enacted, and be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the Commissioners for Execution of this Act, shall forthwith and without staying for any previous reprisal set out, restore and allot unto the said Marquis of Antrim, or cause to be set out, restored and allotted unto the said Marquis of Antrim, all and singular the Honours, Manors, Castles, Messages, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, and all other the estate, right, title and interest, whereof the said Randall Lord Marquis of Antrim, or any other person in trust for him or to his use, was seized or possessed on the two and twentieth of October, One thousand six hundred forty and one (the lands in the Barony of Glanarme herein after mentioned to be restored to Alexander Macdonell, and also all impropriations and appropriate tithes excepted) And that the said Marquis of Antrim shall hold and enjoy all and singular the lands, Tenements and Hereditaments so restored unto him the said Marquis of Antrim, except before excepted, and the Heirs males of his Body begotten, any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Subject nevertheless to such Debts and other Encumbrances as the same were or aught to have been Subject unto, upon the said two and twentieth day of October, One thousand six hundred forty one, (and to such Leases and estates thereof made for satisfaction of Creditors, as are provided for in and by the said former Act) and to the payment of such further Quitrents as any other lands within the same County or Province are Subject unto; And the Commissioners for Execution of this Act, are hereby required with all convenient Speed to set out and allot unto all and every the Adventurers and Soldiers, their Heirs and Assigns, who shall be dispossessed by the restitution of the said Marquis, so much other forfeited land as may be sufficient to reprize and satisfy the persons so to be removed, for their several and respective two full third parts which will be due to them by the rules of this Act: And for the better enabling the said Marquis of Antrim to pay his Debts, when he shall be restored, by sale of land or otherwise, which cannot well be done unless the Reversion or remainder in Fee expectant upon the said estate Tail be taken out of the Crown, It is therefore Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That all and singular the lands and Tenements so, as aforesaid, appointed to be restored, And all and every the reversion and reversions, remainder and remainders thereof shall be and are hereby vested and settled in Alexander MacDonnell Brother of the said Marquis, and his Heirs, as a remainder in Fee expectant upon the Death of the said Marquis without issue male. Provided always and it is hereby Enacted, that no fine, recovery or other Act or thing whatsoever to be done or suffered by the said Marquis, (other than Leases for one and forty years or three lives in possession and not in reversion, whereupon the Highest improved Rent which the same were let for in the year One thousand six hundred thirty and five, shall be reserved) touching or concerning any the Messages, lands, Tenements or Hereditaments situate lying within the Barony of Donluce in the County of Antrim, shall any way extend to Bar, discontinue, defeat or encumber the remainder thereof intended by this Act to be settled upon the said Alexander, but that the said messages, lands, Tenements and Hereditaments in the Barony of Donluce in the County of Antrim, shall after the Death of the said Marquis without issue male of his Body, remain and be in the said Alexander Mac Donnel and his Heirs, Any such Fine, Recovery, or other Act or thing done or suffered to the contrary notwithstanding: Nevertheless it is hereby declared, That as to all other the Lands and Tenements so, as aforesaid, to be restored, it shall and may be lawful to and for the said Marquis by Fine, Recovery or any other way be shall think fit, to bar, discontinue, defeat or encumber the remainder thereof, so limited and settled as aforesaid. Provided always, and it is Enacted, That nothing herein contained, shall any way extend to restore the said Marquis of Antrim to the possession of any Lands which he the said Marquis or his father did heretofore grant or convey in Fee Farm to any forfeiting person or persons not declared innocent, or to the possession of any lands whereof he the said Marquis or His Father did make any Lease for lives or years to any forfeiting person or person not declared innocent, during the lawful continuance of such Lease, but that the Lands so granted in Fee Farm, or Demised as aforesaid, shall be put into the possession of such person and persons, for and towards the satisfaction of their two third parts, as would have been entitled to the same, if the said Decree had not been made, nor the said Marquis hereby restored, Any thing herein before contained to the contrary notwithstanding; saving to the said Marquis and his heirs, the Rents and Services due and to be due for the premises. Provided also, That nothing herein contained shall any way extend to bar or hinder Risen Lady Marquis of Antrim of her Right and Title of Dower of, in or to any the Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments so as aforesaid to be restored, but that it shall and may be lawful to and for the said Lady Marquis, after the death of the said Lord Marquis her husband, to sue for and recover her Dower of the said Lands and Tenements, Any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That the Commissioners for execution of this Act, shall forthwith and without staying for any previous Reprisal, set out, restore and allot, or cause to be set out, restored and allotted unto the said Alexander Mac Donnel and his Heirs, all and singular the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments in the Barony of Glanarm in the County of Antrim, which were settled or intended to be settled upon him the said Alexander Mac Donnel by his late father, and all other the Estate, Right, Title and Interest whereof he the said Alexander Mac Donnel, or any other in trust for him, was seized or possessed upon the two and twentieth day of October, One thousand six hundred forty and one, Impropriations and appropriate tithes excepted, subject to the debts and Encumbrances of him the said Alexander Mac Donnel, and such other debts as were thereupon charged by the Father of the said Alexander, and liable to a proportionable part of the Rent-charge granted to Alice Countess of Antrim, and to such Quitrents as by this Act are payable for lands in the same Province, Any thing in this or the said former Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. And to prevent all Riots or Disturbances which may happen in taking or keeping possession of the premises, before the final settlement thereof, It is further Declared, That so much of the premises hereby intended to be restored to the said Marquis, whereof the said Marquis by himself or his under-tenants was in possession upon the first of July, One thousand six hundred sixty and five, shall remain and continue in his and their possession, until restitution be thereof made by the Commissioners as aforesaid; And that the Adventures and Soldiers, their Heirs and Assigns, may retain so much of the premises hereby intended to be restored to the said Marquis, and the said Alexander Mac Donnel, whereof they were in in possession the said first of July, One thousand six hundred sixty five, until restitution be thereof made by the said Commissioners, as aforesaid; And that Alexander mac Donnel may enter upon all the premises hereby intended to be restored to him, which are not in possession of Adventurers or Soldiers, their Heirs or Assigns, and the same to retain and keep in his possession, until restitution thereof be made by the Commissioners as aforesaid.

Whereas by a Decree of the late Court of Claims, Patrick Coleclough was restored to an Estate in the County of Wexford, in Remainder after the death of Dudley his Father, part of which was by a clause in the said former Act vested in Robert Clayton & John Morris in trust for Sir John Cutler and others in the said Act mentioned, & had before that time been purchased from Soldiers or other reprizable persons in order to the erecting of Iron works which have since accordingly been erected, and are of public benefit to this Nation, & the increase of His Majesty's revenue, & if the said Decrees should remain in full force, the said advantages might be lost, for the preservation thereof It is therefore Enacted & be it enacted by this Parliament, that the said John Morris & Robert Clayton shall & may have, hold & enjoy such part of the lands contained in the said Patrick Colcloughs Decree, as they were formerly seized of against the said Patrick and Dudley and their Heirs, and against the said Decree made as aforesaid, And it is further Enacted that in lieu and compensation thereof, the said Patrick Colclough shall have the full benefit of the reprisal due to the said John Morris and Robert Clayton upon the said Decree, And that until the said reprizals shall be set out, that the said lands hereby settled on the said John Morris & Robert Clayton, shall be chargeable, and are hereby charged with the annual Rent of One hundred pounds payable yearly on the first days of May and November, and made liable to the distress of the said Patrick upon non payment thereof at the said days of payment, And that as soon as the said reprizals shall be set out as aforesaid, the said yearly Rent shall cease and absolutely determine, And to the end that the said Iron works may be kept up, It is likewise Enacted that if the said former or ancient proprietor or his Heir of any the lands whereof the said John Morris and Robert Clayton are now seized in the said County of Wexford, shall be or is by this Act restored to his estate, then and in such case the said John Morris and Robert Clayton and their Heirs, shall notwithstanding have hold and enjoy such part of the said former Proprietors' estate as they now stand seized of, And the said Proprietor for so much is elsewhere to be reprized, any thing in this present Act, or any other Act of Parliament contained to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.
