WITH The chase of the Rebels from Killady Bog, where they had built Cabins and stood upon their Guard; and after a small Skirmish, their Captain being slain and 30. or 40. of his Company, the rest fled. TOGETHER With a great Fight near Cork, between my Lord Precedent and my Lord Muskrey. MOREOVER With an Order of the House of Peers concerning the stopping of all kind of Ammunition, Jo. Browne, Cler. Parl. jun. 17. London, printed for ROBERT WOOD Good and True News from JRELAND. Worthy Mrs. Neuce, ACcording to promise, I do here present these lines; and in them my true love to your sweet self, whom I wish all happiness to. Your Son, Daughter, and Grandchild are well, and Mr. Hewet is in this Town at this time. For news here is so much I know not how to relate it. We are well here yet (thanks be to God) though daily threatened: and our Soldiers have done many exploits against the Rebels. They have taken by force, Downdanel which was before you went, and Montane Castle, which they burned, and killed many men. The next was Cargenas, where Kingsale Troop and Bandon met with Ordnance, and shot a whole day, and made many small breaches, but to little purpose; there were two men killed, but none of the Soldiers: They came home that night and lef● a Guard of Soldiers to prevent the men from scaping away. The next day they met again and shot till noon, and they no● yielding, our Soldiers fired the Castle, and leaving a Guard the second night, they came home; and going the third day there was a great cry of men, women, and children from the top of the Castle, for mercy; our Soldiers gave them the best assistance they could to help them down, but they were so scorched with the fire, that they hanged and stifled one another, before they could be helped. The next day they marched until they came to Pollalong, where after a while they had plied them with shot, they yielded on quarter to Captain Aderly, upon condition to be guarded to Kilcre, where Captain Copar guarded them. There was M. Roch and his Wife of Kinsale and his sons and daughters, and many other Gentlemen and Gentlewomen. They of the Castle told Captain Copar, that the pillage was worth twelve thousand pouds. Afterwards our Soldiers went to Killady Bog, where the Rebels had built Cabins, and stood upon their guard, they were a hundred and well armed, but there was small fight before the Rebels ran away, our men killed between 30. or 40. and one was their Captain, whose horse they brought to Town with a great Saddle, with 4. more. There was a great fight near Cork with my Lord Precedents Forces against my L. Muskrey, where they killed about 100 men and Captain Suggan on our side lost none but one horse killed with a shot. Afterwards the L. Jnchiquin was set on by the Lord Roches and Caudens ablest Forces, hard by the Lord Roches Castle, called Castletown: but it pleased God to bring the Lord Inchiquin off, and his company without any loss, only one Horse; but there were slain of the Lord Roches men about an hundred and forty, the rest they forced into the Castle, burned the outward gate, recovered two Drums, two Cullars, and some fifty Muskets. And afterwards, the Lord Jnchiquin and Master Jepson burnt and wasted all the Lord Roches, and Caudens Country. Mr. Savage reported, that whilst he lay for his passage, our Forces have taken in Kill-Britain, and chased the Rebels from thence, having slain many of them; insomuch that we may now travail to Cork or Kinsale unmolested, and not once see a Rebel. We hope in the Lord, that (through the undaunted courage and resolutions of our Soldiers, who in the midst of danger seem not in the least dismayed) this Country will be soon settled in a quiet and peaceable and quiet estate. Limmerick men have built two Blockhouses upon the River, and placed Ordnance in each, the one at Cortebarck on Munster side, the other on Thomond side, and chained up the River between, as it is credibly reported: there is Captain Coles ship and one more now in the River, but the news is they cannot relieve the City. Dominick Coppinger, and the Sub-Sheriff Terry, are upon their trials for a conspiracy discovered, and 'tis thought the Precedent will or hath put them to death. Thus at present I have not else to trouble you with, but commit you to the protection of Almighty God, wishing you all happiness in this world, and eternal selfcitie hereafter. This shall be the continual prayer of Your assured loving friend to command, ELIZ. WARNER. London-bridge, june the 5. 1642.
