Private.—For full information on this subject, see Carte's Ormonde, vol. ii. pp. 476-482. I will give one extract to verify the statement above. "The Duke of Ormonde had, in truth, difficulties enough to struggle with in the government of Ireland, to preserve that kingdom in peace, and yet to give those who wished to imbroil it no handle of exception to the measures he took for that end."—vol. ii. p. 477.
Royalty.—D'Arcy M'Gee's History of Ireland, vol ii p. 560.
Army.—Carte says "he was Scout-Master-General."—Ormonde, vol. ii. p. 473.
