See Desmond to Cecil, Feb. 8 and 12, 1568; and the Queen to the Lord Deputy, April 3, 1567. Cormac O'Connor was also examined; his evidence agreeing pretty well with Cahir's.

[149] Petition of the inhabitants of Cork in Graves's _Presentments_; Hooker's _Life of Sir P. Carew_; Campion; Thomas Wadding to Sir George Carew, March 12, 1603, in _Carew_. In Maclean's edition of Hooker's _Life_ is a list of the Munster lands claimed by Carew. It comprises the greater part of Cork and Kerry, and a part of Waterford. It was computed that the actual holders of these lands in the sixteenth century could bring 3,000 men into the field. The Carews claim descent from Nesta's son William, who was brother to Maurice Fitzgerald, half-brother to FitzStephen, and uncle to Giraldus Cambrensis. Wadding was a lawyer, who had thoroughly studied the whole matter.
