After Limerick  "I told you in my last that since my L L was named to the Government about 18 Thousand pounds annual rent have been given in benefices, employments, and places to strangers, and not 500 li to any in Ireland; but I find I was mistaken, for I find there have been above 20,000 li dispersed that way. I understand several have not yet come to my knowledge. There are several vacancys [sic]now in project to the value of some Thousands, and I hear Strangers are already named for them."—Letter from Archbishop King to Edward Southwell, Esq., December 29th, 1725 (King MSS.)

" &hellip; the people of this kingdom are in effect excluded out of the Church, from the Revenue, from the Bench, from the Army, and all considerable offices, all which are in effect maintained by the Publick money or that of the kingdom, &hellip; and to say the truth, Gent, are in great distress what to do with their sons, all these ways of providing for them being shut up against them."'—Letter from Same to Sir Hans Stone, November 16th, 1725.
