Army Debt, Irish Claims
A State of the Londonderry and Enniskillen Claims.
Claims made by the Trustees for the Officers and soldiers of Londonderry.
£ | s. | d. | |||||||||
T 38/798, p. 1. | Capt. Robert Beard and Mr. William Hamel, as trustees for the Officers and soldiers who served their late Majesties in the siege of Londonderry in 1689, and for such as served afterwards during the war in Ireland as supernumerary or Reformed Officers, claimed the sum of 125151l. 8s. 4d. (fn. 1) By two deeds both dated 16 Jan. 1701–1 the said Beard and Hamel and John Fellow were constituted as such Trustees by Col. John Mitchelborn and a great number of the Londonderry Officers and soldiers to sue for their arrears. | ||||||||||
p. 2. | In pursuance thereof Mr. Hamel exhibited to us his demand for Col. Mitchelborn's Regiment amounting to 9570l. 16s. 8d. and in support thereof produced to us a report dated 21 April 1691 made to the Treasury Lords by Charles Fox. Mitchelborn was confirmed in command of Col. Skeffington's Regiment by commission dated 10 March 1689 when it consisted of 13 Companies; so that allowing them complete there is due to them from 5 Feb. 1688–9 to 18 April 1689 (when they put themselves into Londonderry) being 73 days at 44l. 4s. 8d. per day the sum of | 3229 | 0 | 8 | |||||||
from 19 April to 7 Aug. following being 111 days (the time of the siege) they were composed of 17 Companies at 57l. 2s. 8d. per diem | 6341 | 16 | 0 | ||||||||
(Memorandum: the personal pay of Col. Michelburne is assigned to Mr. Samuel Cardell in trust for the said Colonel). | |||||||||||
T 38/198, p. 2. | Mr. Hamel further exhibited to us the demand for 6 Regiments, Walker's, Monrow's, Crofton's, Hamil's, Lance's and Murray's (being Regiments certified by Mitchelborn to be formed in Londonderry during the siege) amounting to | 48941 | 12 | 0 | |||||||
and for proof thereof produced the said Charles Fox's report of 1 March 1691–2 to the Treasury Lords setting forth that their case was fully stated by the Lords Committee for Irish Affairs but the abstract of the numbers of men and times of service depends only on the certificate of Col. Michelburne, then Governor of the place. | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 3. | The abstract as obtained by us from Mr. Pauncefort on the 27th Sept. 1708 is as follows: | ||||||||||
£ | s. | d. | |||||||||
Col. George Walker's Regiment 15 Companies of 60 men each from 5 Feb. 1688–9 to 12 Aug. 1689 when they were broke by Major-Gen. Kirk | 9579 | 3 | 0 | ||||||||
Col. Henry Monrow's ditto of 13 like Companies for same time | 8360 | 2 | 0 | ||||||||
Col. Richard Crofton's ditto of 12 like Companies, same time | 7750 | 11 | 6 | ||||||||
Col. Hugh Hamel's, ditto of 14 like Companies, same time | 8969 | 13 | 6 | ||||||||
Col. Thomas Lance's ditto of 13 like Companies, same time | 8360 | 2 | 0 | ||||||||
Col. Adam Murray's ditto of 8 like Companies, same time | 5312 | 9 | 6 | ||||||||
48332 | 1 | 6 | |||||||||
The difference between this abstract and the above demand is 609l. 10s. 6d. which is the pay of one Company for the said time. | |||||||||||
Mr. Hamel further exhibited the demand for the pay of Col. Baker's Regiment (being one of the Governors of Londonderry) of 26 Troops and Companies of Horse, Foot and Dragoons but their pay is charged in the account as Foot only | 16720 | 4 | 0 | ||||||||
Ibid., p. 4. | To prove this article he produced the King's warrants of 26 Aug. 1689, 16 Sept. 1689 and 27 Feb. 1689–90, and affidavits of the Officers detailed. He also exhibited to us a demand for a Company of Gunners, an Independent Company and a Company of Pioneers amounting to 3700l. 15s. 0d. as follows: | ||||||||||
Ibid., p. 5. | a Company of Gunners, Officers and 60 men from 7 Dec. 1688 (when the gates were shut against the Earl of Antrim's Regiment) to 18 April 1689 | 3532 | 17 | 0 | |||||||
Independent Company, Officers and 80 men from 19 July 1689 to 12 August | 97 | 14 | 0 | ||||||||
a Captain and Lieutenant of Pioneers from 18 April 1689 to 12 August | 70 | 4 | 0 | ||||||||
Lastly, Mr. Hamel exhibited to us a demand for the pay of 214 supernumerary Officers added by the King's order of 16 Sept. 1689 to the 3 Londonderry Regiments that stood during the war; amounting to | 56024 | 16 | 0 | ||||||||
To prove this he produced the report and Establishment made 28 May 1691 by the Lords Committees of Irish Affairs which established 273 of the said Officers at 76l. 17s. 0d. per diem; but only 214 are charged at 54l. 18s. 0d. per diem, no more having served during the war in Ireland viz.: | |||||||||||
77 Reformed Officers of Col. White's Regiment from 12 Aug. 1689 to 31 March 1691 | 12853 | 10 | 0 | ||||||||
59 ditto of Col. St. Johns Regiment from 12 Aug. 1689 to 31 Dec. 1693 | 17627 | 5 | 0 | ||||||||
78 ditto of Col. Mitchelborn's Regiment for same time | 25544 | 1 | 0 | ||||||||
(making in all 56024l. 16s. 10d.) | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 6. | The numbers are certified by the Colonels but the Order in Council of 8 Jan. 1689–90 desired the Treasury Lords to furnish money to Mr. Herbert, the Paymaster of those Forces in Ireland, as from 1 Oct. 1689, and if 2690l. 2s. 0d. be deducted for the period from 12 Aug. to 1 Oct. as not allowed, it reduces the above demand to | 53334 | 14 | 0 | |||||||
making a total demand of | 131658 | 11 | 2 | ||||||||
towards which they acknowledged payments by the Paymaster General of the Army and others of | 9806 | 15 | 4 | ||||||||
leaving due to the Officers and soldiers of the 8 Londonderry Regiments as above, an Independent Company, a Company of Gunners and Pioneers and 214 Supernumerary or Reformed Officers | £121851 | 15 | 10 | ||||||||
Ibid., pp. 7–8. | All which claims were laid before the House of Commons (fn. 2) and referred to a Committee which reported 2 March 1705–6 (fn. 3) [the report being here entered in full] that there was due to the claimants 134,958l. 3s. 8d. whereof 9806l. 15s. 4d. had been received by several warrants and orders from their late Majesties William and Mary. | ||||||||||
Ibid., pp. 9–10. | In 1707 the above Trustees applied to the House of Commons in Ireland whereupon that House addressed the Earl of Pembroke, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland 7 Oct. 1707 (fn. 4) [here given verbatim] setting forth the services and facts as above and the proceedings of the Parliament in England but that "by reason of some doubts arising upon the construction of the Act for stating and settling the accounts of the Army the Commissioners appointed by the said Act did not think fit to state the petitioners' accounts as in other cases, by reason whereof the petitioners could not be entitled to Debentures [on Irish lands] as other the Officers and soldiers of the Army were" and therefore desiring the Lord Lieutenant to transmit to the Queen the said petition. | ||||||||||
[The present report does not refer further to the futile proceedings in the House of Commons in FebMarch 1707–8 (fn. 5) on this subject but passes on to the final examination as follows of the remainder of the Londonderry claims]. | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 11. | The said Trustees further claim for the pay of three Regiments of Foot that remained undisbanded after the siege of Londonderry to wit from 12 Aug. 1689 to the 1st Jan. 1689–90 (the day they were put upon the Establishment) being 141 days according to the musters taken for the months of Oct., Nov. and Dec. 1689 and at the pay allowed by a subsequent Establishment, which was to take place from 1 Jan. 1689–90. (Poundage and Hospital deducted): viz.: | ||||||||||

Followed by: copy of the Establishment of the said 3 Regiments of Londonderry under the sign manual of Wm. III: to commence as from 1 Jan. 1689–90: consisting each of 13 Companies of 60 men in each Company or 2340 men in all besides Officers. | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 12. | "But his late Majesty having allowed them pay only from the 1st Oct. 1689 as by the recital in the forementioned Order of Council of 8 January 1689, the said number of days from 1 Oct. 1689 to 1st January following will be only 92 days and accordingly the full pay of the said three Regiments for that time will stand thus: | ||||||||||

£133901 | 13 | 10 | |||||||||
In justification of the above last items it appears by a certificate of the Officers and inhabitants of Londonderry dated 4 Sept. 1708 that upon the death of Col. Henry Baker 30 June 1689 Michelborne was unanimously chosen Governor of the said city by the whole garrison on the next day, being the 1st July 1689. | |||||||||||
After Major General Kirke had relieved the city he gave Michelborne a commission to be Governor thereof 3 Aug. 1689 till their Majesties' further order and he continued Governor until superseded by Sir Mathew Bridges 7 March 1701–2. In a report from Mr. William Sloper of the [Army] Paymaster's Office to a Committee of the House of Commons dated 19 Jan. 1705–6 (fn. 6) Michelborne's pay from 18 June 1689 (the time he took upon him the government of Londonderry by reason of Col. Baker's sickness) amounts to 992l. But if it be allowed only from the time of his commission viz. 3 Aug. 1689 it will amount only to 947l. | |||||||||||

Col. William Wolseley's Regiment of Horse consisting of 24 Troops of 50 men each at 211l. 10s. 4d. per diem less 1745l. 3s. 0d. for Poundage and 95l. 9s. 2¾d. for part of a day's pay | 33059 | 15 | 6¼ | ||||||||

Ibid., p. 16. | "Upon which we humbly observe that the said Regiments having voluntarily assembled about 1 Jan. 1688–9 and taken up arms for defence of their religion, laws and liberties" were formed into Regiments by General Kirk by King William's orders and had Commissions dated 20 July 1689 and did considerable service in several engagements with the enemy particularly on 30 July and 27 Sept. 1689. | ||||||||||
The House of Commons in Ireland found their case true and laid it before the Earl of Pembroke who acquainted her Majesty with it, who recommended their case by Mr. Secretary Harley to the House but a prorogation soon ensuing the House came to no resolutions therein. (fn. 7) Such of the Enniskilling Regiments as joined the English Army were mustered by order of the Duke of Schomburg in Sept. and Oct. 1689 and such as had not joined them were mustered in their quarters soon after the decampment of the Army. | |||||||||||
An abstract remaining in the Commissary General's Office in Ireland of a muster taken at the camp at Dundalk in Sept. 1689 by General Schonberg's order shows only 17 Troops of Col. Wolseley's Regiment of Horse and there are [muster] rolls remaining in the said Office but for 15 Troops and even those not closed for any time. | |||||||||||
By another abstract of a muster taken of the said Regiments for the months of Nov. and Dec. 1689 it does not appear that more than 24 Troops were mustered and rolls remain in the said Office but for 12 Troops and closed for 61 days ending 31 Dec. 1689. | |||||||||||
Col. James Wynn's Regiment of Dragoons consisted of 8 Troops; by an abstract of a muster taken in Sept. 1689 by the Duke of Schomburg's orders only 4 Troops appear mustered and the rolls not closed for any time. By the abstract of a muster taken 1 Oct. 1689 not more than 4 Troops appear mustered. By an abstract of a muster taken in their quarters for November and December 1689 there were 8 Troops mustered. | |||||||||||
By an abstract remaining in the Muster Master General's Office it appears that Tiffin's and Lloyd's Foot Regiments were mustered in Sept. and Oct. 1689 but no rolls closed or remaining. | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 17. | Cunningham's Dragoons were mustered in the quarters for Nov. and Dec. 1689 but no rolls remaining. These musters and the dates of commissions are imperfect, there have been great mistakes, neglect or miscarriages in the Commissary General's Office, which is owned by two certificates of Mr. Francis Harrison, Deputy Commissary General, dated 14 Sept. 1708. | ||||||||||
Of Gustavus Hamilton's Foot Regiment we find no muster rolls or abstracts of musters in the Commissary General's Office but the Officers' commissions are certified by the Deputy Commissary General there to be all dated 20 July 1689. King William thought fit to form a Regiment of Horse. 2 of Dragoons and 3 of Foot out of the Inniskillen Forces and made an Establishment for the same to commence from 1 Jan. 1689–90 as follows: | |||||||||||
one Regiment of Horse of 12 Troops each of 50 Troopers. | |||||||||||
two Regiments of Dragoons each of 8 Troops of 60 Dragoons per Troop. | |||||||||||
three Regiments of Foot each of 13 Companies of 60 men per Company. | |||||||||||
According to this Establishment we have computed the full pay of the 6 Enniskillen Regiments as are certified to be mustered either at the Camp at Dundalk in Sept. or Oct. 1689 or in their quarters after the decampment, for the months of November and December 1689 according to the effective numbers contained in those musters: all as follows: | |||||||||||
Col. Wolseley's Regiment of Horse: 24 Troops of 1167 Troopers at 206l. 18s. 4d. per diem for 61 days for Nov. and Dec. 1689 | 12621 | 18 | 4 | ||||||||
It is alleged that 17 Troops of this Regiment were mustered in Sept. 1689 but no such muster has been certified to us from the Deputy Commissary General. | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 18. | Col. Cunningham's Regiment of Dragoons: 8 Troops of 467 men at 55l. 3s. 8d. per diem for 61 days ut supra | 3366 | 3 | 8 | |||||||

Memorandum. Col. Gustavus Hamilton's Regiment of Foot (afterwards Col. Creichten's) is alleged to have consisted of the same numbers with Col. Lloyd's but the Commissary General's Office certifies no musters or abstracts of musters but only the entry of 9 commissions in that Regiment, viz. the Colonel's, 2 Lieutenants, 5 Ensigns and one Quarter Master. | |||||||||||
If the computations abovementioned are to govern before the times of these musters viz. from 20 July 1689 (the dates of their commissions) there would be further due for 104 days from 20 July 1689 to 21 Oct. as follows: | |||||||||||
Ibid., p. 19. | Col. Wolseley's Regiment (exclusive of the 25th Troop) at 206l. 18s. 0d. per diem | 21519 | 6 | 8 | |||||||

We are informed by Lieut. Gen. Echlyn, who was Lieut. Col. to Sir Albert Cunningham's Regiment of Dragoons during the time of this claim, that the said Cunningham's Regiment had subsistence to about 2000l. which was deducted after their being established 1 January 1689–90, and their clothes which they had before their Establishment were deducted out of their pay, and arms were charged to them which they never had and that the reason why they had no musters but in November and December was because the Commissaries durst not come to them. | |||||||||||
T38/798, p. 20. | As to the moneys paid to these 6 Regiments, Mr. Moody, Deputy Auditor of the Imprests in Mr. [Edward] Harley's Office, certifies that there had been paid to them as follows upon account of their pay from 20 July 1689 to 1st January following; and Mr. Bythell, Deputy Auditor in Mr. Mainwaring's Office, certifies a week's subsistence more paid to each of the six Regiments to 23 Dec. 1689 and for Lloyd's Regiments two weeks to 30 Dec. 1689: all as follows (combining the two Deputy Auditors' certificates) | ||||||||||

But Mr. Moody notes that what other sums may have been paid to these Regiments in Ireland or elsewhere or what clothing, provisions or other necessaries may have been furnished to them or whether they were not cleared by debenture [on forfeited lands] to the year 1699 with the rest of the Army does not appear to the said Auditors. | |||||||||||
