From the avowed object of the above deed, to detach the Magranals from the
interest of O'Rourke, against whom war was at that time in preparation, as
well as from the deed itself having been found _in the Castle of Dublin_,
more than two hundred years afterwards, there can be little doubt that the
whole affair was got up by the lords justices, and that Magranal of Claduff
was an agent in their pay. The Magranals, however, _took nothing by their
motion_; for although they were arrayed under their new chief against
O'Rourke in the war which followed, their estates were confiscated at the
same time with his, the lawyers having discovered, that as O'Rourke was
their feudal lord, they were partakers in the guilt of his rebellion,
although they had been fighting against him.
