<HEAD>THE CASE OF Colonel Adam Murray, Humbly Repre&s;ented to the COMMONS, in Par|liament A&s;&s;embled.</HEAD>
<P>HE was among the fir&s;t who declar'd, and took up Arms for Their Maje&s;ties, King <HI>William</HI> and Queen <HI>Mary,</HI> and the Prote&s;tant Religion.</P>
<P>When the Earl of <HI>Antrim</HI>'s Popi&s;h Regiment was &s;ent to Garri&s;on, the Town of <HI>Derry,</HI> he was one of tho&s;e who ro&s;e in the Country, forced them away, and thereby encourag'd the People of the Town to &s;hut their Gates again&s;t them, and con&s;equently to hold out, as they afterwards did again&s;t the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army.</P>
<P>Pre&s;ently after he rai&s;ed a Troop, with which he gave all the oppo&s;ition he could to the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Forces at <HI>Claudyford.</HI></P>
<P>After the Prote&s;tants retreated from thence, 400 Hor&s;e &s;tuck by him, with which he continued nigh the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army &s;ome days after the Prote&s;tants fled into <HI>Derry.</HI></P>
<P>After this when the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army &s;urrounded all that part of <HI>Derry,</HI> which lay open from the Sea, the Prote&s;tants within the Town, &s;ent a Letter to him, to come &s;peedily in, otherwi&s;e that the Town would be lo&s;t; for that Colonel <HI>Lundy</HI> was treating with <HI>Hamilton,</HI> the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> General about a Surrender.</P>
<P>Upon this Me&s;&s;age he forc'd his way through the Enemies Dragoons, and got into the Town, but not without the lo&s;s of &s;everal of his Men.</P>
<P>When he came into the Town, he immediately went to Colonel <HI>Lundy,</HI> chief Commander, with a &s;trong body of Men: <HI>Lundy</HI> told him they had &s;ign'd to Sur|render upon Honourable terms, and &s;hewed him the In&s;trument they had &s;ign'd, upon which he prote&s;ted again&s;t any Treaty with the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army; which hinder'd the delivering up the Town at that time.</P>
<P>Afterwards he march'd to the Main-Guard, and &s;ecur'd the Keys of all the Gates and Stores, which he kept for two Days, till it was agreed that Colonel <HI>Baker,</HI> a very ingenious Man and good Souldier, &s;hould be Governour of the City, Mr. <HI>Walker</HI> &s;hould manage the Stores, and Colonel <HI>Murry</HI> &s;hould Command the Hor&s;e.</P>
<P>'Tis well known what Service tho&s;e Hor&s;e did, 'till, in extream nece&s;&s;ity, they were by Order of Council, forc'd to Eat them.</P>
<P>He was afterwards in all the frequent Sallies that were made, and was always &s;ucce&s;sful, till about Eight days before the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army fled from before <HI>Derry,</HI> he was Shot thro' the Body, as they pur&s;ued the Enemy to their Trenches.</P>
<P>After he recover'd of his Wounds, and the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army were forc'd to quit the Siege, he continu'd a Reform'd Officer, according to the King's Letter to D. <HI>Schomberg, that the</HI> Derry <HI>Officers &s;hou'd be continu'd in full Pay, till provided for in equal or better Po&s;ts.</HI></P>
<P>In 1691, General <HI>Ginkel</HI> &s;ent him from the Camp to the Lords Ju&s;tices in <HI>Dubl<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">n,</HI> where he was intru&s;ted with a very ample Commi&s;&s;ion, to Command all the Mi|litia of the Province of <HI>&V;l&s;ter.</HI> This Commi&s;&s;ion he can &s;hew, together with Let|ters of Thanks, from General <HI>Ginkel,</HI> for the Service he did with the Militia; and particularly tho&s;e who were &s;ent to <HI>James Town</HI> and <HI>Sligo.</HI></P>
<P>He was three Years and &s;ome Months Lieutenant Colonel to the Lord <HI>Charle|mont,</HI> till that Regiment was broke: The Pay then receiv'd, with a &s;mall Sum, call'd <HI>Bounty-Money,</HI> and 20 <HI>l.</HI> from my Lord <HI>Conningsby,</HI> is all the Reward he has had for his Sufferings and Services; in mentioning which he thinks it not very decent, or mode&s;t to be too particular he refers to common Fame, and in one particular, to what the <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Army generally &s;aid, that he kill'd the <HI>French</HI> General <HI>Mammoo.</HI></P>
<P>'Tis very well known, what great Propo&s;als King <HI>James</HI> made him, fir&s;t by the Earl of <HI>Abercorn,</HI> afterwards by his own Father (&s;ent unto him by the King) if he wou'd come over to him.</P>
<P>He having no E&s;tate has contracted con&s;iderable Debts, and his Family mu&s;t be reduc'd to extream Mi&s;ery and Ruine, unle&s;s relieved by the Ju&s;tice and Mercy of this Honourable Hou&s;e.</P>
