writes that the name _Mechar_ and _Machar_ are "clearly one and the same
name". Their identity is indeed quite manifest in the extracts from our
Irish writers, to which we will just now have occasion to refer.]

[Footnote 18: Analect. praef.; also part i. p. 39, et seqq. See also
Curry's Historical Memoirs, p. 39, seqq. Some late Protestant writers have
not hesitated to assert that the bloodhounds were unknown to the executors
of English law. However, the testimony of Dr. Roothe, an eye-witness, who
often shared the perils of his flock, is unimpeachable; and, moreover,
in the present instance, we have his testimony confirmed by the charter
of James I., published in Proceedings of Royal Irish Academy, authorizing
Henry Tuttesham, in 1614, "to keep four men and twelve couple of hounds
in every county of Ireland, for seven years". Although the permission
was granted, in order to destroy the wolves which infested the country,
we know from several authorities how such permissions were perverted,
by the ingenuity of the persecutors, to compass the destruction of the
Catholics. See Proceedings of Royal Irish Academy, vol. ii., p. 77.]
