NOTES AND QUERIES. 



447 



find by the accounts sent me by Coll. Brooke that not 

 the tenth part of the arms of my Lord Seafort's people 

 are yet brought in. The great desire I have to do your 

 Ladyship all the service I can obliges me to acquaint you 

 that this trifling and amusing the Government will be 

 more resented at London than open resistance, and will 

 not leave it in my power to serve your country any 

 longer. I shall however, in your Ladyship's consider- 

 ation, order the detachment to halt till Tuesday next, 

 but if by that time all the arms are not delivered up, I 

 shall be under necessity of ordering the troops to proceed 

 with the utmost severity against A'our son's people, and 

 employ fire and sword to reduce them, of which I would 

 have your Ladyship to give them forthwith notice in 

 the most public manner. If they- continue obstinate after 

 this warning, it will be their own fault, and not mine, if 

 they are destroj'ed. I thought it further necessarj' to 

 acquaint your Ladyship that Col. Clayton is with a de- 

 tachment of a thousand men towards Island Donald, on 

 the extremit}' of my Lord Seafort's country, so that his 

 people are now surrounded on all sides. I have the honor 

 to be, with the greatest respect and veneration, Madam, 

 your Ladyship's most obedient and most obliged humble 

 servant, 



" Wm. Cadogan. 

 General Cadogan to Countess of Seaforth. 



"Inverness, 23rd April, 1716. 

 "Madam. — I received last night the honor of 3'our 

 Ladyship's letter of the 22nd inst., and being convinced 

 that you have used j'our utmost endeavours to persuade 

 my Lord Seafort's people to bring in their arms, I shall 

 order the detachment to remove from j'our jointure lands 

 and the Garrison from j'Our house. I shall also give the 

 strictest orders to the officers who go with parties into 

 the country not to disturb nor molest in any manner 

 ■whatsoever the people that have already delivered up 

 their arms, who shall be protected, as likewise their ef- 

 fects, with all imaginable care. I intend to leave this 

 place to-morrow in the afternoon, and I have the honor 

 to be, with the greatest respect and consideration, Ma- 

 dam, your Ladyship's most obedient and most obliged 

 humble servant, 



" Wm. Cadogan." 

 General Cadogan to Countess of Seaforth. 



" Inverness, 24th April, 1716. 

 " Madam, — T received the honor of j'our Ladjship's 

 letter of the 23rd inst., and I hope you now believe your 

 house or estate run no hazard of suffering in any manner, 

 since I have ordered both detachment and garrison to 

 return on Friday next. I have given such positive direc- 



tions to Mr. Macnale, who eoes with the detachment to 

 Island Donald, not to meddle, directly orindirectlj', with 

 any of your Ladyship's Tenants or of my Lord Seafort's 

 who have submitted, that I am sure they have nothing 

 to fear, and in case Macnale should fail obeying these 

 directions according to the letter of them, I shall not only 

 order immediate restitution to be made of what may be 

 taken awaj', but send him likewise to prison, and break 

 him by a Council of War, it being his Majesty's intention 

 that those who submit to his mercy should be preserved 

 as carefully as those who have refused it should be prose- 

 cuted with severity and rigour. I am thoroughly per- 

 suaded that very near all my Lord Seafort's people are 

 come in, and that it is principally owing to the good 

 advice your Lad5-ship gave them. I send you here en- 

 closed a passport for your Ladyship and the persons you 

 desire should attend you into England, and as for any 

 others you may be obliged on the road to employ in pro- 

 curing coaches, horses, and other conveniences for travel- 

 ling and carrj'ing your equipage there is no need of any 

 passport. Your Ladj-ship knows I can give a passport 

 no further than Edinburgh, but I shall write by this post 

 to the Secretary of State for the permission you desire to 

 go to London, and I do not doubt but it will be sent me 

 before j'our Ladyship can get to Edinburgh. If there be 

 anj'thing further for your Ladyship's service, 1 shall al- 

 ways be very glad to receive your commands. I have 

 the honor to be, with the greatest respect and consider- 

 ation. Madam, your Ladyship's most obedient and most 

 obliged humble servant, 



" Wm. Cadogan." 



I shall reserve one other letter from Lord 

 Lovat, because it is of a later date, and will re* 

 quire some little historical illustration. T. R. O 



PROTESTANT EEFUGEES IN 1563 AND 1571. 



The access to the State Papers, lately granted 

 to the public, has enabled me to lay before your 

 readers some curious returns made of the Stran- 

 gers in London and the suburbs in the early part 

 of Elizabeth's reign. These, and similar returns 

 by several provincial towns, are interesting with 

 reference to the trades introduced, and the origin 

 of several of our well-known names.
