FN 73 See the Lords’ Journals of March 2. and 4. 1692/3 and the Commons’ Journals of Dec. 16. 1693, and Jan. 29. 1695/4.  The story, bad enough at best, was told by the personal and political enemies of the Lords justices with additions which the House of Commons evidently considered as calumnious, and which I really believe to have been so.  See the Gallienus Redivivus.  The narrative which Colonel Robert Fitzgerald, a Privy Councillor and an eyewitness delivered in writing to the House of Lords, under the sanction of an oath, seems to me perfectly trustworthy.  It is strange that Story, though he mentions the murder of the soldiers, says nothing about Gafney.

FN 75 Macariae Excidium; Fumeron to Louvois Jan 31/Feb 10 1691.  It is to be observed that Kelly, the author of the Macariae Excidium and Fumeron, the French intendant, are most unexceptionable witnesses.  They were both, at this time, within the walls of Limerick.  There is no reason to doubt the impartiality of the Frenchman; and the Irishman was partial to his own countrymen.

FN 77 It is remarkable that Avaux, though a very shrewd judge of men, greatly underrated Berwick.  In a letter to Louvois, dated Oct. 15/25. 1689, Avaux says:  “Je ne puis m’empescher de vous dire qu’il est brave de sa personne, a ce que l’on dit mais que c’est un aussy mechant officie, qu’il en ayt, et qu’il n’a pas le sens commun.”
