Catalogue description SIR WILLIAM SKEFFINGTON, LORD DEPUTY, to HENRY VIII.

"I, by the advice of your Council, with your army was determined to march forward and [Sic.] hostings," the 18th inst., upon O'Chonor, the traitor Thomas FitzGerald and others succored by him in Ofaileigh. O'Chonor came in and surrendered himself, and offered to put in his pledges to perform the saying of four indifferent persons. Thomas FitzGerald with others his complices in like manner submitted, without condition of pardon, life, lands, or goods, but only submitting himself to you, and his desire is, to be conducted to your Highness by Lord Leonard Gray. The Lord O'Donell has diligently used himself for the furthering of your affairs, and sent substantial aid to this hostings, with the Lord McSwyer. He would have come himself, but for the war of Manus O'Donell his son. I intend to repair into those parts for the subduing of your traitor the said Manus.--From the Camp at Castle Jurdayne, 24 August. Signed.
