James McCrone (The Duke's Agent) includes Lambie's statements as above;mentions
other outrages;the effort of the Deemster and Arch.Cregeen to get the Bishop
to stop the collection under the threat of a personal attack;the visit of
the Bishop to the Lt.Gov. at Castle Rushen where a large mob armed with
bludgeons was assembled;the threat of the mob to sack and destroy Bishopscourt;the
attack on Kennedy at Patrick and the burning of his stacks etc. with attacks
on other farms. It describes the sending of 16 soldiers from Douglas to
Bishopscourt as a guard,though only three men could be obtained for Castle
Mona where the garrison was strengthened by some armed men supplied by the Captain of the packet boat "City of Glasgow" and,later,by some from the Cutter "Cheerful" Capt.Sir John Reid. Learning that the Bishop was coming from Bishopscourt to Castle Mona and had an escort of troops as far as St.Johns where he desired another to meet him these were asked for but could not be furnished from Douglas. In these circumstances Capt.Reid landed eight armed sailors who were sent to St.Johns.but were recalled on it being learned that the Bishop had decided to travel by way of Ramsey. A few men from the "Cheerful" with several gentlemen from the Castle then went out and met the party,consisting of the Bishop and his family and servants with their luggage and valuables,near Laxey,and brought them safely in. Describes also how the Yeomanry,though called out,declined to take action. |
