Catalogue description LORD LEONARD GREY, LORD DEPUTY, to CROMWELL. [Printed in "State Papers," II. 559, from the original in the Record Office.]

After the first submission of Bryan O'Chonour to the King in Offaly in the open field, Kayr O'Chonour, his brother, sent to me that he was contented to submit himself likewise, yet, notwithstanding his promise and pledge, he did not come to Dublin. By the advice of the Commissioners here "I practised so with the said Bryan and with my servant Stephen Apparye that they hunted the said Kayr and [had] such espial upon him where he was in a strong house environed about with water, marshes, and great deep ditches, with strong hedges upon the top of them, and there had certain hagbushes and handguns; howbeit he was so hard beset about that he was driven to run away in his shirt, and took a boat and fled into O'Dempsye's country, insomuch that he scaped narrowly with life; and after spoiled the said house and took such horses and cattle as they found, and brake down his ditches, and made smooth work." On the morrow he came upon safeconduct to my said servant into the castle of Rathangan, and with him from thence to Dublin, where he made his submission. I beseech you to remember my late suit to you concerning my repair to the King, and to be good lord to my poor nephew Dudley, this bearer.

Dublin, 17 March.
