THE CASE OF THE Governor, Officers and Soldiers actually concerned in the Defence of London-Derry, in the Kingdom of Ireland.  
THE Great Service which was performed in London-Derry, as well as the Sufferings of that garrison are sufficiently known, and as the Providence of God gave Success to their Endeavours, for the defending the remander of the Protestant and English Interest in Ireland; so the Honourable House of Commons have expressed their Esteem of that Important Service in divers Votes, both of Thanks and for Rewards to the Relations of those who had suffered in that Siege.  
And no doubt but this Honourable House design their Favours to those who had an Actual Hand in the Defence of that Place; and particularly to such who are so far from any Reward for their Service in that Place, that the Governor, Officers and Soldiers have never had any Pay for all the time of that Siege, tho their Accounts are stated.  
Upon Colonel Lundy's Abandoning the Town, all the Aldermen of the Town left the Place except Three, Two of which had been Officers under Colonel Lundy, and refused to Engage against the late King James, and his Irish Army, during the Siege: the Mayor died before the Siege began, and no Persons pretended to any share in the directing of the Defence of that Town but Colonel Micchelburne, who had his present Majesty's Commission, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Walker.  
The Inhabitants, and the Neighbours of the Town, made One single Company, who were called the Company of Gunners: Those were all the Inhabitants, who acted in the Defence of that City: The other Defendants were Persons from other Parts of the Country, who voluntarily came in: The Suburbs, one one part were destroyed in Colonel Lundy's Government.  
All the Works that were made before the Siege was a Ravling without Bishops-Gate: Colonel Lundy had Money from England, though that Ravling could not cost 100 l.  
The other Out-works were made after the Siege began, and the Soldiers of each Regiment performed that voluntarily with the same alacrity with which they defended the City.  
As to Provisions, the Inhabitants of Derry were sustained by the Country Provisions, as they were defended by the Arms of the Country.  
As to Arms and Ammunition, if any was provided besides what was taken from the Enemy, and what was sent from England, there was five times the proportion left after the Siege was raised, of what was before the War began.  
And as to clothes, those fortunate Men, who hazarded themselves for the Defence of their Country, were not solicitous for either Pay or clothes, when they every moment ventured their Lives for the public; and if any private Persons contracted Debts during the Siege, they have paid the same.  
And the Mayor and Aldermen of Derry have particularly Certified for Colonel Mitchelburn's Regiment under the Common Seal, dated Febr. the 2d. 1690.  
Therefore it is humbly hoped this Honourable House will own those who were real Actors, and suffered in the Defence of London-derry, and will please to consider in the first place, those who Acted for the Protestant Religion and the English Interest in the Defence of Derry, without either Pay, recompense or Reward hitherto. And after they shall be considered, then those who left the City, and retired to either England or Scotland, may Merit the Thoughts of this Honourable House.
