Title: WILLIAM WISE to CROMWELL.
Description:

The King has brought many things to light, by sending hither these four Commissioners. James Fitz John of Desmond has made oath to be an obedient subject, and now sends over his son Thomas, "whose mother is the Lord Roche's daughter, yet being alive and unmarried, whom he hath put away, and now occupieth O'Karoll's daughter, by whom he hath issue." The said James not long ago took his brother Maurice prisoner, and now has all the lords and captains of "that quarters" at his command. "The common bruit is of him among his own people to be true of word and deed.

 

The county of Waterford, whereof it has pleased the Lord Deputy and Council to make me Sheriff, will be the sooner reduced by the staying of the said James; "wherein no man impugneth the setting forth of justice so much as Gerald McShane doth, who is in all his affairs a right Geraldyn, whom I trust the Lord Butler will either reclaim by good policy, or else persecute by rigour of punishment.
