a dragoon regiment for James, and
afterwards commanded the Queen's regiment of infantry in the Brigade.
He was father to Colonel Henry Lutteral, accused of having betrayed the
passage of the Shannon at Limerick; and though Harris throws doubt on
this particular act of treason, his correspondence and rewards from
William seem sufficient proof and confirmation of his guilt.

Lally of Tullendaly, member for Tuam, was the representative of the
O'Lallys, an old Irish sept. His brother, John Gerard Lally, settled in
France, and married a sister to Dillon, "_colonel proprietaire_" in the
Brigade, and was Colonel commanding in this illustrious regiment. Sir
Gerard was father to the famous Count Thomas Lally Tollendal, who,
after having served from the age of twelve to sixty-four in every
quarter of the globe, from Barcelona to Dettingen, and from Fontenoy to
Pondicherry, was beheaded on the 9th of May, 1766. The Marquis De Lally
Tollendal, a distinguished lawyer and statesman of the Bourbonist
party, and writer of the life of Strafford, and many other works, was a
grand-nephew to James Lally, the member for Tuam in '89.

Colonel Roger Mac Elligot, who commanded Lord Clancarty's regiment (the
12th infantry) in the Brigade, was member for Ardfert.

Limerick.--Sir John Fitzgerald was "_col. propr._" of the regiment of
Limerick (8th infantry) in the Brigade.

Oliver O'Gara, member for Tulske, was Lieutenant-Colonel of the guards
under Colonel Dorrington.

Hugh Mac Mahon, Gordon O'Nials Lieutenant-Colonel, was member for
Monaghan.

The Right Hon. Nicholas Purcell, member for Tipperary, was a Privy
Councillor early in James's reign. His family were Barons of Loughmoe,
and of great consideration in those parts.

The first bill introduced into the Lords was on the 8th of May--that
for the recognition of the king--and the same day committees of
grievance were appointed.

[26] Hallam ("Constitutional History," chaps. 13 and 14) contains
enough to show the uncertainty of the law. Throughout these, as in
all parts of his work, he is a jealous Williamite and a bigoted
Whig. His treatment of Curry has been justly censured by Mr. Wyse,
in his valuable "History of the Catholic Association," vol. i.,
pp. 36-7.

CHAPTER IV.

THE SESSION.

It is needless for us to track the parliament through the debates of
the session, which lasted
