The Copy of a Letter from the Lord chief justices, and Privy Counselors in Ireland, to the Lords now Assembled in Parliament here in England, bearing Date the 27. of Octob. 1641.  
ON Friday the 22. of October, Owen Ockanellee, servant to Sir john Clotworthy, at nine of the clock in the night, came and discovered a plot for the seizing the Castle of Dublin, and making themselves Masters thereby of the whole Kingdom; We sat all night in debate, and the next morning we searched the whole City of Dublin, and found many of the Conspirators there, and amongst the rest one Hugh Mackmoen, and several others of the Family of Oneale.  
The Lords of the Council caused all the parts of the City to be strongly guarded; And in the morning we went to search for the Lord of Mackquere at his lodging, from whence (when we came there) we found he was departed in the morning before day (as was reported) but searching narrowly into his lodgings and rooms, we found several Skeins, headless Hatchets, and Hammers in abundance, and in the end found him secretly hid in a Cockloft; And after he was taken, being examined he denied all, but that he had heard of it before.  
Great store of people were observed to be in the City that night more than usual, and the Suburbs was so thronged with people and strangers, that they put the City in a fright, wherefore we were forced to draw up a Proclamation for all men and strangers whatsoever to departed the City, or else to show good cause for their stay there; And that all men whatsoever that had any hand in the Plot should have a general Pardon, if now they would come in and confess their faults, and make any further discovery than was yet known.  

The Discovery.  
HVgh Occonnellee, who is servant to Sir John Clatworthy, came to Dublin to the Lodging of Hugh Ogmackmahawne his very loving friend, and Occonnellee with his friend going to the lodging of the Earl of Mackquere, understood there had been great store of Noblemen and strangers, but they were all gone abroad, whereupon they returned bacl again to the Lodging of the said Ogmackmahawne where Occonnellee had not been any long space, But Ogmackmahawne declares to him a plot which was intended, swearing that Occonnellee should not go out of his house till it had been executed (which was) that the jesuits, popish Priests, and other Papists, together with two sects of Irish, and amongst the rest the said Hugh Ogmackmahawne and Bryan Oneale with others should have come and seized upon the Castle at Dublin, and the Earl of Macquere should be Governor thereof, which when they had attained unto, they should have shot at the chimneys, and by that means have tried if they could have brought the City in subjection; but if shooting at Chimneys could not prevail, than they should have shot down their houses about their ears, and at one hour, and one moment of time to have murdered all the English and Protestants in the Kingdom of Ireland; and to have murdered the two Lord chief justices, & all the privy Council of Dublin, and at the same time to have seized on all his Majesty's Castles, Forts, and Magazines throughout the whole Kingdom, and all persons that should be refractory to have destroyed with the sword, which Ockonnellee hearing, feigned an excuse to go into the yard to untruss a point, to which his friend Ogmackmahawne consented unto, but withal commanded his servants to go along with him, and be careful of him, that he did not slip from them, but Occonnellee finding his opportunity leapt over the pales in the yard and made an escape and went to Sir john Burlacy, and Sir William Par●●●…s and discovered the whole matter.
