Calendar of the State Papers of William and Mary 1693 January. 23rd January 1693. Dublin Castle. Viscount Sydney to the Earl of Nottingham. I herewith send you a list of such popish officers and the number of priests that were by a late general Order in Council taken within the provinces of Leinster and Ulster, whereby you can compare them one with another. The returns are not yet made for the other two provinces of Munster and Connaught, but as soon as they are will send you alike list of them. This late general seizure was occasioned upon some apprehensions we had of a French descent upon this kingdom, but as those apprehensions are now blown over, or in a great manner lessened, the persons who were imprisoned are now set at liberty upon giving security for their good behaviour and promising to come forth when required, only excepting the regular clergy, who are still imprisoned till his Majesty's pleasure be known in telation to them, and' for this purpose I send your lordships copies of a report from a Committee of the Council appointed to consider what may be fit to be done with the regular priests and of the Board's concurrence with the said report, which I desire you will lay before the King and let me know how he will have the regular clergy dealt with. The state of this matter and the methods formerly used to drive them out of this kingdom are fully set forth in the said report. [S.P. Ireland855, No.7.] Enclosing:—
