<HEAD>PROPOSALS TO THE Adventurers for Land IN IRELAND.</HEAD>
<P>_THat your Petitioners taking into con|&s;ideration the pre&s;ent confu&s;ed &s;tate of the Adventurers &s;atisfaction in <HI>Ireland;</HI> and in order to remedy the &s;ame, have (in pur&s;uance of your Lord&s;hips Letter, bearing date the Seventh day of <HI>May,</HI> 1658. and of the &s;everal Acts and Ordinances of Par|liament thereunto relating) cau&s;ed &s;everal things which were on their own parts to be done, to be forthwith put in hand; and have al&s;o here col|lected &s;uch other things, as they hum|bly de&s;ire may be done by your Lord|&s;hips: Both which, they humbly repre&s;ent in the &s;everal particulars fol|lowing, <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P N="1">I. YOur Petitioners have made a compleat Book, to be &s;igned by the Committee of Claims, and them&s;elves, or their appoint|ments re&s;pectively, containing the Debt of every Adventurer, who&s;e Certificate for the &s;ame hath been &s;tated unto this day, with the name of the Barony, wherein the &s;ame ought (if it may be) to be &s;atisfied: As al&s;o the Order of Priority, wherein the &s;aid &s;atisfaction ought to be made.</P>
<P N="2">II. They have de&s;ired the Committee for Claims, to cau&s;e an E&s;ti|mate to be made of &s;uch Debts, for which no Certificates have been yet i&s;&s;ued, which (as they probably conceive) will be hereafter claimed and allowed.</P>
<P N="3">III. In ca&s;e no Land be put upon the Adventurers as part of their mea&s;ure in &s;atisfaction, but &s;uch as are profitable and forfeited, with all other Priviledges and Advantages according to the Acts and Ordinances of Parliament, then this Committee are of opinion, That the general Survey and Admea&s;urement la&s;t taken by your Lord&s;hips, under the over|&s;ight
<PB N="4" REF="3">of your Surveyor-General and Dr. <HI>William Petty</HI> be &s;ubmitted to, and not otherwi&s;e.</P>
<P N="4">IV. They de&s;ire that &s;uch Books may be made as Dr. <HI>Petty</HI> hath &s;hewed them Forms and Patterns of (by him called Neat-Books) con|taining the names of the Lands &s;urveyed, as forfeited, with the number of the profitable and unprofitable Acres, both according to your Lord|&s;hips Survey, and the private Survey taken by the Adventurers (where the &s;aid Adventurers Survey can be had;) as al&s;o the names of the Lands &s;ubducted out of the &s;ame, either upon the accompt of Decrees for con|&s;tant good affection, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> Compo&s;itions, private Grants and Incumbran|ces of any kinde what&s;oever, and con&s;equently containing an accompt of what Lands are Neat and clearly di&s;po&s;eable for the Adventurers &s;atis|faction; together with an accompt of what Lands the Adventurers have a&s;&s;umed of them&s;elves, and by their own particular Survey and Rules of Di&s;tribution in &s;atisfaction of their re&s;pective Debts; and withal, an ac|compt how the Lands now found, upon a more clear view di&s;po&s;eable, are to be di&s;tributed pur&s;uant to the more perfect Rule of di&s;tribution hereafter to be framed, in pur&s;uance of this pre&s;ent Declaration and Peti|tion. And la&s;tly, of the final di&s;tribution and &s;ettlement of all the &s;aid Lands, according to the former or future ways of di&s;tribution, according to &s;uch expedients of reconciliation and private Agreements, which may happen to cau&s;e alterations in either of the &s;aid Methods of di&s;po&s;al, de|&s;iring your Lord&s;hips to contribute what&s;oever is nece&s;&s;ary on your Lord|&s;hips parts, as Maps, &amp;c. towards the making and compleating the&s;e &s;aid Books and Accompts.</P>
<P N="5">V. When the Debt and Credit of the Adventurers is a&s;certained in manner afore&s;aid, both in general, and al&s;o upon every particular Province, County, and Barony: And that thereupon an accompt is made, expre&s;|&s;ing what Baronies are deficient, and what have a <HI>&s;urplus,</HI> they de&s;ire and propound, That in order to repair the one with the other impartially, and according to all or any <HI>Provi&s;oes</HI> of the Act of Parliament in that be|half made; That it may be di&s;tinctly determined by Lot, which Pro|vince, County, and Barony, &s;hall &s;ucceed each other; That thereupon two di&s;tinct Li&s;ts, the one of all the deficient Baronies, the other of all the Surplu&s;age Baronies, may be drawn forth; and that the Baronies contained in each, may be placed in &s;uch Order of Priority, as by the &s;aid Lot is or &s;hall be determined. And it is further de&s;ired and pro|pounded, That all the Baronies of the County of <HI>Lowth,</HI> except the Ba|rony of <HI>Atherdee,</HI> be added to the afore&s;aid Li&s;t of Redundant Ba|ronies, each of them in &s;uch Order of Sequence, as by Lot &s;hall be deter|mined.</P>
<P N="6">VI. It is humbly de&s;ired and propounded, That if any Surplu&s;age &s;hall appear upon the afore&s;aid Li&s;t of Redundant Baronies (the County of <HI>Lowth</HI> being &s;o comprehended) the &s;ame may be cut off upon the la&s;t Baronies of the &s;aid Li&s;t: And that &s;uch general Surplu&s;age may be withheld from di&s;po&s;ure to the Army, for &s;ome rea&s;onable time to be agreed upon; wherein your Petitioners may make out what real damages they have received by Errors in your Lord&s;hips &s;aid Survey, which they have conditionally &s;ubmitted unto as afore&s;aid, either as to the quantity, quality, or title of the Lands by them accepted, according to the &s;aid Survey; to the end they may have due reparation for the &s;ame out
<PB N="5" REF="3" MS="y">of the re&s;erved Surplu&s;age-Lands, as to your Lord&s;hips &s;hall &s;eem ju&s;t.</P>
<P N="7">VII. The &s;atisfaction of the Adventurers as to the whole, being thus regulated, It is further humbly propo&s;ed as followeth, <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P N="1">1. They de&s;ire that the Deficient Baronies may be repaired out of the Redundant Baronies one after another, according to the <HI>Paraleli&s;m</HI> of the two above mentioned Li&s;ts of Deficient and Redundant Baronies, (that is to &s;ay) That the fir&s;t Deficient Baronies may be repaired out of the fir&s;t Redundant Baronies, and &s;o downwards, until all the Deficient Baronies be compleatly &s;atisfied out of &s;o many of the fir&s;t Redundant Baronies (as they &s;tand in the Order of the above&s;aid Li&s;t) as &s;hall &s;uffice for the &s;ame.</P>
<P N="2">2. Fora&s;much as there hath been already made by the Committee of Adventurers, &s;everal Rules for di&s;tributing of Baronies, to the particular Allottees and Individual per&s;ons contained in them. Your Petitioners do humbly explain the cheif of the &s;aid Rules as followeth, <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P>Where it is &s;aid, That a Barony &s;hall be divided into Quarters, it is to be under&s;tood, that all Lands, both profitable and unprofitable, for|feited and not forfeited, comprehended within the true Out-line of every &s;uch Barony, be divided into four equal parts (as near as may be) whether the &s;ame be done by Lines of different Po&s;itions; as by the North and South Lines, and Ea&s;t and We&s;t Lines together, or by Parallel Lines and &s;uch as are of the &s;ame Po&s;ition, whether they bear North and South, or Ea&s;t and We&s;t, or upon any other point onely.</P>
<P>And whereas the &s;aid Divi&s;ional Lines being intended to be &s;traight, may probably cut many Denominations into two parts. Your Petitioners de&s;iring that intire Denominations may be pre&s;erved as much as po&s;&s;ible, do explain them&s;elves, That they intend, that on which &s;ide &s;oever of the afore&s;aid Quartering Line, the greate&s;t part of any Denomination falleth, That the whole Denomination &s;hall be reputed and deemed to lie intirely on that &s;ide of the &s;aid Quartering Line; both which Explanations your Petitioners humbly de&s;ire may be applied to the matter of Subquartering where any &s;uch thing hath been agreed upon.</P>
<P N="3">3. And to the third, there may be certain Rules, where &s;uch Rules are not already for pa&s;&s;ing from the fir&s;t Denomination (which &s;oever the &s;ame be) to the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> Your Petitioners de|&s;ire that the &s;ame may be for the future determined, and to that end they propound, That every Barony being duly quartered by Rule, or the mu|tual con&s;ent of the Major part of the Adventurers concerned therein as afore&s;aid, may be reduced (as to the &s;everal Denominations comprehend|ed therein) into one continued File or String of Contiguity, &s;o as may be certainly known from the fir&s;t to the la&s;t di&s;po&s;able Denomination, or part of Denomination, in what Order of Priority each of them &s;hall be di&s;po&s;ed of. And this we de&s;ire may be done by three &s;everal Arti&s;ts (from whom the knowledge of the Li&s;ts of Priority of Lots contained in the Debt Books, may be carefully withheld) and that they make their &s;aid Strings of Contiguity in the pre&s;ence of &s;ome per&s;ons to be intru&s;ted for that purpo&s;e; and that when three &s;uch Strings are &s;o made, that one of them be cho&s;en by Lot, as the onely Rule to be ob&s;erved in the matter of Succe&s;&s;ion.</P>
<P N="4"><PB N="6" REF="4"> 4. They further propound, That the per&s;ons imployed in making the &s;aid Files of Contiguity, do determine by what Line every Town-Land &s;hall be cut, in ca&s;e there be occa&s;ion thereof, for making up a ju&s;t number of Acres an&s;wering to each Lot or Debt.</P>
<P>Now although it be wi&s;ht, That the above-mentioned Rules of Di|&s;tribution (as being &s;uppo&s;ed perfect Rules) had been followed in the Ad|venturers former receiving of Lands for &s;atisfaction, yet hoping that the proceedings of many &s;uch Adventurers (though made otherwi&s;e) have not been either contrary to their own Rules, or injurious to their Fellow-Concernees. Your Petitioners humbly propound, That Di&s;tinctions may be made between &s;uch of the &s;aid former Di&s;tributions as are fit to be continued from &s;uch as are not; in order whereunto, they offer that Di&s;tribution be made according to the above-mentioned &s;uppo&s;ed perfect Rule forthwith, by &s;uch In&s;truments as your Lord&s;hips &s;hall think fit, together with a like number (to be al&s;o approved by your Lord&s;hips) &s;uch as &s;hall be humbly recommended by your Petitioners. And that the &s;aid Di&s;tribution being &s;o made, be forthwith &s;ealed up and kept private un|til Examination be had of the afore&s;aid former proceedings of the Ad|venturers; to which end it is humbly propounded,</P>
<P>Fir&s;t, That a per&s;on or per&s;ons be appointed at <HI>London</HI> and at <HI>Dublin,</HI> both to receive from all &s;uch Adventurers, who are already po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ed of Lands, for their &s;atisfaction, an accompt of what Lands, by name, they are &s;o po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ed of, with an intimation of their de&s;ire to continue in the &s;ame, in ca&s;e no injurious irregularity can be made appear to have been practi&s;ed by them in acquiring the &s;aid &s;atisfaction.</P>
<P>Secondly, Your Petitioners think fit publick notice being given in Churches, in <HI>Diurnals,</HI> and by all other convenient ways, both in <HI>England</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> That &s;uch accompts or de&s;ires ought to be brought unto the per&s;ons which &s;hall be nominated as afore&s;aid; That &s;uch Adventu|rers as do not bring in the &s;aid accompts or de&s;ires within two moneths after the above-mentioned &s;uppo&s;ed perfect Rule is declared to be &s;ealed up, &s;hall not have any benefit of their &s;aid former received Lands or Po&s;|&s;e&s;&s;ions, not being according to the &s;aid Rule: And withal, that all Sur|veys made, at the charge of the Adventurers, which &s;hall not be brought in and exhibited within the &s;aid two moneths time, either at <HI>London</HI> or <HI>Dublin,</HI> &s;hall be declared null; and that the Di&s;tributions made upon them, be con&s;equently declared null and void likewi&s;e.</P>
<P>Thirdly, They humbly propound, That the per&s;on or per&s;ons to be appointed at <HI>London</HI> to receive the &s;aid Surveys, (and the above-men|tioned de&s;ires of particular Adventurers, to continue in their &s;atisfactions formerly received) do tran&s;mit the &s;aid Surveys and de&s;ires to the above-mentioned Committee at <HI>Dublin,</HI> con&s;i&s;ting both of your Lord&s;hips In|&s;truments, and of tho&s;e other per&s;ons recommended by the Adventurers as afore&s;aid. To the end, that the rea&s;onablene&s;s of the &s;aid de&s;ires, as al&s;o of &s;uch other de&s;ires as &s;hall be exhibited at <HI>Dublin</HI> may be examined; in order whereunto your Petitioners humbly propound,</P>
<P N="1">1. That the Di&s;tribution to all per&s;ons who are concerned in a Ba|rony, whereof the Survey is not produced as afore&s;aid be null.</P>
<P N="2">2. That although the Survey be produced, yet if the Barony-Plot (whereby the Di&s;tribution of the &s;aid Barony hath been actually made) hath not been according to the appearing Out-line of the &s;ame, divided into
<PB N="7" REF="4" MS="y">four parts, an&s;werable to the four proportions or quarters of money re|&s;pectively, which appear by the Book of Lots, to have been drawn up|on them: But that there is contained in one or more of the Quarters a|bove Fifteen <HI>per cent.</HI> more of le&s;s then there ought to be. Your Petiti|oners conceive that &s;o gro&s;s a mi&s;carriage in the Foundation of the Di&s;tri|bution, is a &s;ufficient Rea&s;on why all the Di&s;tributions founded thereup|on &s;hall be declared null.</P>
<P N="3">3. Where the States Survey maketh more di&s;po&s;able Acres in any Barony, then the private Survey exhibited by the Adventurers doth, (whether the &s;ame happen by the Adventurers omitting of certain parcels taken in by the State, or by rea&s;on difference in di&s;tingui&s;hing the quality, or through difference in admea&s;urements (&s;uch difference in admea&s;ure|ments not exceeding three <HI>per Centum,</HI> upon the profitable and forfeited Lands of the whole Barony) It is thought fit to avoid that nece&s;&s;ity of impo&s;ing &s;mall &s;craps of Land upon &s;ome deficient Adventurers) That &s;o much of the &s;aid Di&s;tribution be null, as is &s;ub&s;equent to the fir&s;t irre|gularity; and that the above-mentioned Di&s;tribution made by the &s;up|po&s;ed perfect Rule be adhered unto in lieu thereof: Provided, That tho&s;e who are removed by vertue hereof, &s;hall be allowed the value of their nece&s;&s;ary improvements, as the &s;ame &s;hall be &s;et, by indifferent per&s;ons to be cho&s;en for that purpo&s;e.</P>
<P N="4">4. They humbly propound, that in all other Ca&s;es, the Di&s;tribution made by the Adventurers &s;hall &s;tand, unle&s;s in the particular Ca&s;es of In|dividual per&s;ons hereafter named, <HI>viz;</HI></P>
<P N="1">I. Where a &s;atisfaction con&s;i&s;ting of &s;everal denominations, is in length, from one extremity thereof to the other, more then triple the breadth of the &s;ame, (Provided that the Lines by which length and breadth are computed do cro&s;s one another at right Angles) except where the &s;aid proportion or &s;atisfaction, as to the quantity, could not be &s;et out otherwi&s;e, then in &s;uch di&s;proportionable figure. And except &s;uch di&s;tribution be acquie&s;&s;ed in by all, or the major part of the contiguous Allottees, which kinde of acquie&s;&s;ence your Petitioners account a General Exception to all paticular irregularities; fora&s;much as the &s;ame cannot be injurious, where all the major part of the per&s;ons concerned are con|tented, and do allow of the &s;ame.</P>
<P N="2">II. When in proceeding from a point of beginning according to any Line of progre&s;&s;ion, the &s;ub&s;equent denomination is either not contigu|ous to &s;ome of the preceding, or not mo&s;t according to the &s;aid Line of progre&s;&s;ion. As for Example, if the point of beginning or entrance, be in the Denomination <HI>A,</HI> and that the Line of progre&s;&s;ion be from North to South, and the Denomination taken next after <HI>A,</HI> be <HI>B,</HI> your Petitioners do under&s;tand, that if there be any other Denomina|tion contiguous to <HI>A,</HI> whereof any part is more Northerly then any part of <HI>B,</HI> in &s;uch ca&s;e the Denomination <HI>B</HI> is injuriou&s;ly taken.</P>
<P N="3">III. If (to make up a Satisfaction for any Lot) more then two Deno|minations (by Denomination, being under&s;tood the di&s;po&s;able part of a Denomination) be cut, we conceive the &s;ame to be injurious.</P>
<P N="4">IV. If a Denomination be omitted by the fir&s;t private Di&s;tribution, which is admitted by the &s;uppo&s;ed perfect Li&s;t, all tho&s;e Allottees, who&s;e Proportions touch the &s;ame omitted parcel, &s;hall be held guilty of that Omi&s;&s;ion; and if but one Allottees Proportion touch the &s;ame, as
<PB N="8" REF="5">afore&s;aid; Then the &s;aid Allottee, by rea&s;on of the &s;aid Omi&s;&s;ion is re|moveable, but if there be more then one in &s;uch ca&s;e, one of them is to be cho&s;en by Lot, who by removal is alone to &s;uffer for the whole, Except it can be made appear, that at the time of the &s;aid Di&s;tribution, &s;ome Claim was entered upon the Publick Book of the Civil Survey, or that &s;ome order of Su&s;pention from the Councel be produced which might be a Rea&s;on and Excu&s;e for the &s;aid Omi&s;&s;ion.</P>
<P N="5">5. That all Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions taken by Deficients of Surplu&s;ages in Lands, without Lots drawn for the &s;pecial County, Barony, and Denomination, where &s;uch po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions are, or &s;hall be, or without publication of the Allot|ments afore&s;aid, and freedom for all others in the like ca&s;es to the like Lots, be utterly void.</P>
<P>We further propound, that after the expiration of the two moneths appointed for bringing in the Surveys, and de&s;ires of continuing each man in his re&s;pective po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion; that another time to be appointed for tho&s;e who &s;hall make the &s;aid de&s;ires, to prove that the Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions were allowed unto them in the former Di&s;tribution, and withal to an&s;wer &s;uch charges of injurious irregularities which may be made again&s;t the &s;ame.</P>
<P>Having thus framed a &s;uppo&s;ed perfect Rule of Di&s;tribution, as al&s;o Rules whereby to reject &s;ome of the former Di&s;tributions totally; and withal, how to di&s;tingui&s;h the de&s;igned and injurious irregularities com|mitted within other Di&s;tributions (although allowed of in general) and having propounded the per&s;ons by whom, and the places where this whole affair is to be tran&s;acted in its &s;everal parts re&s;pectively. It is la&s;tly propounded, That all omitted Ca&s;es not reducible to the above Propo|&s;als; and that the interpretation of all Ambiguities upon the &s;aid Propo|&s;als them&s;elves, be referred to the afore&s;aid Commi&s;&s;ioners as &s;uch in who&s;e determination your Petitioners are contented to acquie&s;s.</P>
<P>Now although your Petitioners are not ignorant, that the right of making a Survey is in your Lord&s;hips; and that the Act of Parliament gives your Lord&s;hips clear power to decide Controver&s;ies between Ad|venturer and Adventurer: Neverthele&s;s your Petitioners humbly de&s;ire, That out of a tender regard to the confu&s;ions wherein they are involved, and to the &s;everal repugnant Intere&s;ts, which are or may be among them; that your Lord&s;hips would be plea&s;ed to exerci&s;e your &s;aid Authority (&s;o far as may be without prejudice to the Publick) according to the above mentioned Advice, which by your Lord&s;hips favor and invitation, they have been imboldned in this manner to pre&s;ent.</P>

<HEAD>Explanations, Amendments, and Additions, of the afore&s;aid Declaration and Petition.</HEAD>
<ITEM>_IN pur&s;uance of your Lord&s;hips own favor and ju&s;t endeavors, of preventing unnece&s;&s;ary Removals; and in con&s;ideration of your Petitioners readine&s;s to &s;ub|mit to your Lord&s;hips Survey; Your Petitioners de|&s;ire that three <HI>per centum</HI> difference in Admea&s;ure|ments between your Lord&s;hips Survey and the Ad|venturers be not taken notice of; <HI>viz,</HI> In &s;uch Ca&s;es where the Adventurers private Survey hath been already made u&s;e of, as to Di&s;tribution; and where no other cau&s;e appears for nulling the &s;aid Di&s;tribution, then the &s;aid difference in quantity: Your Petitioners pray, that &s;uch di&s;tributions be neither annulled, nor that any retrench|ment be made where the Adventurers Survey differeth not above three <HI>per centum</HI> from the States.</ITEM>
<ITEM>2. Your Petitioners humbly de&s;ire, That by the word Null, in the above Petition and Declaration, where it is &s;aid (that &s;o much of the &s;aid Di&s;tribution be Null, as is &s;ub&s;equent to the fir&s;t irregularity) &s;hall not be intended to remove any per&s;on out of the Barony, if there be Land enough there for his &s;atisfaction, but onely into his right and proper place within the &s;ame.</ITEM>
<ITEM>3. Your Petitioners further de&s;ire, that they may have the full benefit intended them by the &s;everal Acts of Parliament in the matter of Woods; And fora&s;much as the latter Acts of Parliament &s;eem (though in words on|ly, as your Petitioners hope) to be more hard towards the Adventurers, then the preceding Acts were upon which they lent their money. Your Petitioners de&s;ire that your Lord&s;hips, in tender con&s;ideration thereof, would at lea&s;t allow them the full benefit, as afore&s;aid, of the &s;aid latter Acts according to the mo&s;t favorable interpretation that the words of them will bear.</ITEM>
<ITEM>4. Although your Petitioners have already de&s;ired, that the agreement of the major part of the Parties concerned may be an univer&s;al Exception to Irregularities; yet they de&s;ire, for the further and more particular &s;ecu|rity of all tho&s;e, who by &s;uch agreement have made their Di&s;tributions, Subdivi&s;ions and Settlements by parallel Lines, without regard to the for|mer di&s;tinctions by Plow-lands, Town-lands, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> That &s;uch Di&s;tributions by parallel Lines may &s;tand, where other injurious, irregularities, and ju&s;t cau&s;es of alteration are not found in &s;uch proceedings.</ITEM>
<ITEM>5. Whereas your Petitioners have by the third Article of their above Petition and Declaration &s;ubmitted to your Lord&s;hips Survey, with con|dition that no Land be reckoned to them as &s;atisfaction, which ought to be ca&s;t in over and above their mea&s;ure; and fora&s;much as &s;everal contro|ver&s;ies
<PB N="10" REF="6">may ari&s;e thereupon, the deci&s;ion whereof (if not made in &s;ome &s;peedy and regular way) may prove a great cau&s;e of delay and vexation to your Petitioners: They therefore humbly pray, That where complaints of Error in the Survey, as to profitable Lands &s;hall be made, that your Lord&s;hips will appoint the Clarks of the Council (upon application made unto them by the above Commi&s;&s;ioners for regulation) to i&s;&s;ue out &s;uch Commi&s;&s;ions of cour&s;e to the Sheriffs of the re&s;pective Counties for em|panelling Juries, reviewing of Lands, where the Complaints are, &amp;c. as may be &s;ufficient for the ends above mentioned, and that the Determination of &s;uch wrongs, as al&s;o the Repairations of them (where there is cau&s;e) may be in the &s;aid Commi&s;&s;ioners, according to the above Petition and Declaration.</ITEM>
<ITEM>6. And for the better a&s;certaining of Lands decreed away upon claims, or compounded for: That the &s;aid Commi&s;&s;ioners upon reviewing of the Neat-Books, may upon better information take other Lands into charge, that are are left out of charge, and put any other Lands out of charge, that are given in charge.</ITEM>
