An
Act for the Attainder of divers Protestants in Ireland.
Introduced in the
Irish Parliament, Dublin 12 May 1689. Extracted from the Annals of
Derry, Robert Simpson, Londonderry, Hempton,1847. Reprinted North West
Books, Limavady ,1987.
This
act repealed the acts of settlement and all grants, patents and certificates
as applied to the persons named. They were all Protestants named by Members
of Parliament. The Act was immediately passed three times and then locked
away so that any Protestants might not see it, until the expiry date
(November) by which time any appeals had to be made. In consequence the
property and goods of the persons named were seized for King James II. Some
2,441 persons were named and all declared “ traitors, and adjudged to
suffer the pains of death and forfeiture, without hope of any pardon, after
the first day of November then ensuing.” To make sure James also approved
another Act which prevented the English Parliament from rescinding the Irish
legislation.

Londonderry, who were, by the aforesaid decree, attainted and declared
traitors for their adherence to the Protestant religion, the following is a
