With respect to rents, Sir Toby Caulfield left a memorandum, stating that there was no certain portion of Tyrone’s land let to any of his tenants that paid him rent, and that such rents as he received were paid to him partly in money and partly in victuals, as oats, oatmeal, butter, hogs, and sheep.  The money-rents were chargeable on all the cows, milch or in calf, which grazed on his lands, at the rate of a shilling a quarter each.  The cows were to be numbered in May and November by the earl’s officers, and ’so the rents were taken up at said rate for all the cows that were so numbered, except only the heads and principal men of the creaghts, as they enabled them to live better than the common multitude under them, whom they caused to pay the said rents, which amounted to about twelve hundred sterling Irish a year.

’The butter and other provisions were usually paid by those styled horsemen—­O’Hagans, O’Quins, the O’Donnillys, O’Devolins, and others.’  These were a sort of middle men, and to some of them an allowance was made by the Government.  ’Thus for example, Loughlin O’Hagan, formerly constable of the castle of Dungannon, received in lieu thereof a portion of his brother Henry’s goods, and Henry O’Hagan’s wife and her children had all her husband’s goods, at the suit of her father Sir G. O’Ghy O’Hanlon, who had made a surrender of all his lands to the crown.’

The cattle were to be all numbered over the whole territory in one day, a duty which must have required a great number of men, and sharp men too; for, if the owners were dishonestly inclined, and were as active in that kind of work as the peasantry were during the anti-tithe war in our own time, the cattle could be driven off into the woods or on to the lands of a neighbouring lord.  However, during the three years that Caulfield was receiver, the rental amounted to 12,000 l. a year, a remarkable fact considering the enormous destruction of property that had taken place during the late wars, and the value of money at that time.

A similar process was adopted with regard to the property of O’Donel, and guards were placed in all the castles of the two chiefs.  In order that their territories might pass into the king’s possession by due form of law, the attorney-general, Sir John Davis, was instructed to draw up a bill of indictment for treason against the fugitive earls and their adherents.  With this bill he proceeded to Lifford, accompanied by a number of commissioners, clerks, sheriffs, and a strong detachment of horse and foot.  At Lifford, the county town of Donegal, a jury was empanelled for the trial of O’Donel, consisting of twenty-three Irishmen and ten Englishmen.  Of this jury Sir
