so soon as he had renewed his friendship with the English and Scotish Secretaries;" and laid down
further methods, with his said brother, of entercourse between themselves for their mutual benefit;
and the said Con, well minding Sir J. Fullerton's interposition for Mr. Hamilton (whereby he was
a great loser), and that the patent for his lands was to be passed in Mr. Hamilton's own name, and
only a bare trust expressed for his, Con's use, in the letters of warrant aforesaid, he thought it
necessary that Sir Hugh and he should look to their hitts. They therefore took leave at Court;
(and being thoro' ready) they went to Edinborough and Braidstane, and after a short necessary stay
for recruits of money, they passed into Ireland, taking with them the warrant for Con 12 his idemnity,
pardon, and profit.
Mr. Hamilton having gone to Dublin, as aforesaid, then, (viz.) on the 4th July, 1605, (being
two months and four days posterior to the said tripartite indenture, a second office was taken, '3 whereby

" Warrant for Con. — This warrant is not recited in
the Inquisition of 1623.
* 3 A second office was taken. — This Inquisition, mainly
respecting church lands and revenues, was taken at
Ardquin, in the Ards, on the 4th July, 1605, and in
pursuance of the Tripartite Indenture above-mentioned.
The commissioners on that occasion were William Par-
sons, Esq., surveyor-general of Ireland; John Dallway,
Esq.; Robert Barnwall, Esq.; and Lawrence Master-
son, Esq. The jurors were John White, lord of the
Dufferin, Esq.; Christ. Russell, of Bright, Esq., James

of Claneboy embraced the lesser palrm of Upper Clande-
boy, le Great Ards, le Little Ards, and Kilultagh, in

the Sleught Ilenrickies, the Kellies, the Sleught Neales,
the Durminges, the Sleught Hugh Bricks, the Sleught
Brian-Boy, the M 'Gillcchrenes de le Gallagh, the Mul-
chreiues de le Tawne, the Sleught Owen M'Quinn, and
the Sleught M'Carteglane, with others. The territory of
Great Ardes in Claneboy, contained within itself certain
lesser territories or habitations of families called the
Sleught Mortagh M'Edmond, the M'Gillmurres, the
Sleught Brian O'Neile, the Turtars of Iniscargie, the
M'Keaniyes, the Magies of Portabogagh, wich others.
The territory of Kilultagh, in Claneboy, contained within
itself lesser territories or habitations of families called Slut
Neale M'Cormock, the Hamells of Edergaowen, the Clan
Rowries, the Slut Roches, Slut Brian M 'Shane Oge, with
others. The aforesaid jurors found that Connogher
O'Hamble was prior of Holiwoode at the time of the sur-
render and dissolution, James M'Guilmere abbot of Mo-
villa, John O'Mullegan abbot of Cumber, William
O'Dornan abbot of Bangor, John Casselles abbot of Leigh,
or Jugo Dei, otherwise Gray Abbey, and sir John Raw-
son, knight, prior of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.
Inquisitions Down, Jac. I. , No. 2. Sir John Rawson
was prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in
Ireland, and as such possessed certain manors, &c. , in
county Down, as well as elsewhere through the island.
Kilmainham was his seat.
14 Upper Claneboys. — The territory of upper or southern
Clannaboy — Clann-Aodha-Buidhe — was commensurate
with the present baronies of Castlereagh and the Great
Ards. In Dr. Reeves's Ecclcs. Antiquities, pp. 347 — 8, we
have the following admirably clear and concise account of
the ancient and modem sub-divisions of this celebrated
territory, derived principally from the inquisitions of 1605
and 1623: — "1. Castlereagh. This district comprised that
part of Knockbreda parish which lay in the vicinity of
O'Neill's residence of Castlereagh. 2. Les Gillachrewes
de le Gallagh. This small tract comprehended a por-
tion of Knockbreda, lying between Castlereagh and the
Lagan. 3. Slut Neales. — That is the 'Sliocht or family
of Neills.' It embraced the parishes of Drumbo, Saint-
field, Killaney, with parts of Kilmore and Knockbreda,
and such portions of Blaris, Lambeg, and Drumbeg, as lie
in the barony of Upper Castlereagh. In Jobson's Map of
Ulster (1590), the territory marked Slut M'O'Neale is
bounded on the north by the Lagan, on the west by Kil-
warlyn, on the east by the Kelles, and on the south by
Kinelarty. (MS., T.C.D.) The Slut M'Ncle is similarly
placed on Norden's Map. (State Papers.) 4. Les AIul-
chreives de le Tawne. This family occupied the west side
of Knockbreda, from Ballymacarret southwards. The
name Maolcraoibhe, or Mulcreeve (Four Masters, A. D.
1490, ) was anglicised by Rice. (Stuart's Armagh, p. 630).
These four districts now appear united in the barony of
Upper Castlereagh. 5. Slut Ilenrickies. Occupied part of
of Killinchy and Kilmood in Lower Castlereagh, adjoining
a small portion of Killinchy and Kilmore, which they held
in the upper barony. The name was probably derived from
Sliocht Enri Caoich, 'Tribe of Henry the Blind,' a branch
of the Clannaboy O'Neills. (MacFirbis's Gen. MS., p.
121). 6. Slut Kellies. They occupied the greater part of
Comber and Tullynakill. On Norden's Map the name
