Intelligence was received of some considerable havock com- niitted [victory gained] by the Irish. The go- vernour imagining with good reason, and con- firmed in his suspicion by sufiicicnt evidence, that the enemy was secretly encouraged by some lords of English race, determined to strike at the very root of such abuse. He seized the earl of Desmond, Mandeville, Walter de Burgho, and his brother, William and Walter Berming- ham. The evidence against William Berminghani was full and forcible: he... was condemned and executed: his brother escaped only by his privi- lege as an ecclesiastic: Desmond, who had been obliged to submit to this rigourous governour, after a long confinement was discharged on great surety, and sent into England. "* That O'Brien, and the independent Irish, were not subdued during that war, is manifest, from the '' precarious, inglorious peace, " which gives the lie to '' not yet subdued. " With his usual candour, he calls, in the next page, victory, *' havoc. " Now havoc, from the root catbhoc, is only an affray, in its original sense; and a great liavoc, attended by victory, deserves the name of a victory.
