<HEAD><HI>REMARKS</HI> on the ACCOUNT given by the <HI>IRISH TRUSTEES</HI> in one of their Books called, <HI>An Ab&s;tract of their Rent-Roll,</HI> laid before the Hou&s;e of Commons this Se&s;&s;ion of Parliament, of the yearly Value of the E&s;tate petitioned for by Lord <HI>Bophin</HI> and his Children. The Book is Number <HI>2.</HI> The Value of the E&s;tate Lord <HI>Gallway</HI> had in po&s;&s;e&s;|&s;ion is under the Title of E&s;tates Tail ve&s;ted in Fee; and of the E&s;tate Lord <HI>Bophin</HI> had in po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, under the Title of E&s;tates forfeited for Life.</HEAD>
<P>BY that Account (wherein no Mi&s;take that might le&s;&s;en the Value is to be pre&s;umed) allowing for Jointures, Mortgages, and the Intere&s;t of other Incumbrances there mentioned; the clear pre&s;ent yearly Value of the whole E&s;tate petition'd for, is but&mdash;2423 <HI>l.</HI> 00 <HI>s.</HI> 00 <HI>d.</HI></P>
<P>Since this Rent-Roll has been made, &s;everal Incumbrances on that E&s;tate not there mentioned, have been allowed by the Tru&s;tees, amounting at lea&s;t to Eight Thou&s;and Pounds, the Intere&s;t whereof is to be deducted out of the a|bove-mentioned clear yearly Rent: So that there remains now of clear yearly Rent but&mdash;1623 <HI>l.</HI> 00 <HI>s.</HI> 00 <HI>d.</HI></P>
<P>This, allowing the Tru&s;tees Account, is the pre&s;ent Value of that Forfeited E&s;tate: And &s;ince this Honourable Hou&s;e, on the particular Circum&s;tances of the Settlement on Lord <HI>Gallway,</HI> &s;eems to be of opinion that his E&s;tate is forfeited only during Lord <HI>Bophin</HI>'s Life; all the Increa&s;e this pre&s;ent yearly Value can ever have, is the Remainder Lord <HI>Bophin</HI> has for Life on that part of the E&s;tate, which is in Jointure to the Counte&s;s Dowager of <HI>Clanricard,</HI> and that is of little or no value to the Publick, for 'tis only a Forfeiture for Lord <HI>Bophin</HI>'s Life, in ca&s;e he happens to &s;urvive the &s;aid Counte&s;s Dowager, who is younger, healthier, and more likely to live than Lord <HI>Bophin.</HI> That part of the E&s;tate of <HI>Clanricard,</HI> which the pre&s;ent Earl of that Name enjoys, cannot be reckoned on as of any Value to the Publick, for that Earl is no forfeiting Per&s;on, he has that part of the E&s;tate to him and his Sons &s;ucce&s;&s;ively; and if he has I&s;&s;ue-Male, as in all appearance he may (for he had lately a Daughter born) his E&s;tate will never become forfeited, and &s;hould it, 'tis only for Lord <HI>Bophin</HI>'s Life, in ca&s;e he happens to &s;urvive the &s;aid Earl. This is the utmo&s;t Value and Computation the &s;evere&s;t Accomptant can make of that great For|feiture &s;o much talked of, and that only for Lord <HI>Bophin</HI>'s Life; and with humble Submi&s;&s;ion it ought to be no Forfeiture at all, con&s;idering the Right Lord <HI>Bophin</HI> had to be re&s;tored by the Articles of <HI>Gallway.</HI></P>
<P>And it is humbly offered, that the extreme yearly Value of the &s;aid E&s;tate, as mentioned in the Tru&s;tees &s;aid Rent-Roll, without regard to Jointures, Incumbrances, or to what they them&s;elves have &s;et it for, is very extraordinary; for <HI>William</HI> late Earl of <HI>Clanricard,</HI> who had the whole E&s;tate in po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, and
<PB N="2" REF="3" MS="y">did &s;et it to the full, never made of the whole Ea&s;tate much above half what that part that is forfeited is now by that extreme Computation valued at, as may appear by his Rent-Rolls in the Years 1685, and 1686, ready to be pro|duced.</P>
<P>'Tis therefore mo&s;t humbly hoped, That the Honourable the Hou&s;e of Commons, who &s;eem willing to relieve this unfor|tunate Family, and have &s;hewed Mercy and Compa&s;&s;ion to o|thers under the like unhappy Circum&s;tances, will have that Regard and Compa&s;&s;ion for Lord <HI>Bophin</HI> and his Children, as not to burden their E&s;tate &s;o far, but that they may have hopes of living &s;utable to their Quality, and of being hereafter &s;erviceable to <HI>England;</HI> and this the rather, that the very Tie that is to be upon them of lea&s;ing the &s;aid E&s;tate to none but Prote&s;tants, will reduce the Value there|of to half what it might be &s;et for were the be&s;t Bidders to be Te|nants, it being very difficult to find Prote&s;tant Tenants where that E&s;tate lies, the Yeomanry being all Roman Catholicks; and 'tis rea&s;onably feared, if that Tie and Injunction be not qualified, that the mo&s;t part of the E&s;tate mu&s;t lie wa&s;te, or be &s;et for little or no|thing; for the Prote&s;tants in that part of the Countrey have already Farms enough, and to be &s;ure will take no new ones, if they have them not at their own Rates.</P>
