page 14 note a The allusion is to the treaty concluded by Glamorgan with the Roman Catholics of Ireland, which had recently come to the knowledge of the world in a curious way. An attempt was made by the associated Roman Catholics to retake Sligo, which had been shortly before taken from them by sir Charles Coote. Amongst the persons killed on that occasion on the side of the Roman Catholics was the titular archbishop of Tuam. In his carriage, which was captured by the Protestants, was found a collection of papers relating to the transactions of Glamorgan. Shortly afterwards an Irish packet boat ran into Padstow without being aware that it was in the possession of sir Thomas Fairfax. Some of his dragoons seized upon the vessel and captured the passengers. One of them, a captain Allen, was observed to throw overboard a number of papers. A few were recovered, and turned out to be letters from Glamorgan himself, and from various other persons connected with his transactions. They were immediately published by the parliament, not less to the amazement of the royalists than of their opponents. (Husband's Collection, 782, 811, ed. 1646.)
