THE CASE Of Several of His Majesties Subjects in Ireland, Commonly called Protectees, Most humbly Offered to the Consideration of BOTH Houses of Parliament.

THE CASE Of Several of His Majesties Subjects in Ireland, Commonly called Protectees, Most humbly Offer'd to the Consideration of BOTH Houses of Parliament.

I Have, for several Sessions late past, observed, That when the Parliament had taken into Consideration the Affairs of Ireland; there have been great Numbers of Petitions given in, by the Roman Catholics of that Kingdom, setting forth their respective Cases in Reference to the Matter ⟨p. 2⟩then under Debate: And I have as often wondered to find no Application made on the behalf of those of that Kingdom commonly called Protectees, I have had the Opportunity to hear much of the Various Complaints of their several Classes there; and upon the whole it appeared to me, that those called Protectees, as well, in Relation to their Behaviour during the War, as to the Extent and Method of their Suffering since then; have had much the severest Treatment of any concerned in that Kingdom.
