Among the adventurers for Irish lands there were a good many who had adventured as Royalists, had paid a moiety of their subscriptions while Charles I. Was still sovereign of Ireland, but had voluntarily lost the benefit of their investment by refusing to pay more when the Independents and Republicans came into the ascendant. Were these, whose money in part had gone to help Charles, to have no consideration or allowance ? Altogether, the calculation was that, if the whole of Ireland, with its 7..., 500, 000 of Irish acres of good land, and 3, 000, 000 Irish acres of bog, moor, and lake, were sold three or four times over at fair market price, the proceeds would not satisfy all the claims upon it among the million and a-half or two millions of mixed Roman Catholics and Protestants that formed the population 1 . With this vast problem looming upon Charles, it was thought best to be in no hurry to call an Irish Parliament. In fact, no such Parliament did meet till May 8, t66i ; and in the interim Ireland was left very much to herself.
