OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.These remedies are unequalled throughout the world for bad legs, wounds, foul sores, bad breasts, and ulcers. Used according to directions given with them, there is no wound, bad leg, or ulcerous sore, however obstinate or long standing, but will yield to their healing and curative properties. Many poor sufferers who have been patients in the large hospitals, under the care of eminent surgeons, and have derived little or no benefit from their treatment, have been thoroughly cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. For glandular swellings, tumours, piles, and diseases of the skin there is nothing that can be used with so much benefit. In fact, in the worst forms of disease, dependent upon the condition of the blood, these medicines, used conjointly, are irresistible.

He has, in short, written precisely as a friend should write, but as friends too rarely do write in these long-winded days; not a word too much, and yet omitting nothing which could show us the man at his best-a well-drawn, well-composed, genuine little piece of portraiture."-World.

Notes.

SIR JAMES COTTER.

One of your correspondents mentions, while speaking of Lord Lisle ('N. & Q.,' 7th S. vi. 467), that he was assassinated by Sir James Cotter in Switzerland. Bishop Burnet states that he was killed at Lausanne by Irishmen in 1685, and does not give the names of the assassins. I wish to know if it is an assured fact that Sir James Cotter was concerned in this crime, as it seems most unlikely that he was, owing to the high character which he bore.

Burke tells us that he was "a gallant Cavalier." He was a member of Parliament, was first married to a daughter of Sir William Stapleton, Bart., and afterwards to the Hon. Leonora Plunkett, daughter of Lord Louth. This second marriage took place on July 30, 1688, about three years after the assassination of Lord Lisle. He had been appointed marshal and secretary in the West Indies in 1677; on February 12, 1689, he was appointed by King James II. Governor of the City of Cork and of Great Island, "to keep the officers and soldiers in good order," and on February 26 he took over from General McCarty the command of his Majesty's forces in Cork. The following year Cork was taken by the Duke of Marlborough, and in 1691, on April 30, the battle of Bottle Hill was fought, Sir James Cotter being in command of the

troops of King James, who, we are told, had no more faithful or honourable follower than he.

On July 24 Sir James received a letter from Sir Richard Nagle empowering him, by order of the Lord Lieutenant, Richard, Duke of Tyrconnell, to levy 2001.

"from all lands of ye County of Corke to pay for procuring and getting intelligence of the designs, carriage, and endeavours of ye enemie against his Ma'tes army and liege people."

Another paper, dated at Limerick, orders Sir James Cotter, Knt., "Brigadier of His Ma'tes armie,"

"to seize six hundred paire of brogues or pumps now in the hands of Captain Cornelius McGillicuddy for the use of the regiment now belonging to Collonell Charles Murphy," &c.

In a letter dated Cork, July 6, 1691, Sir Richard Cox, Governor of Cork, writes to Sir James, who was an old friend of his, as follows:

SIR,-Upon the score of our former acquaintance, and the civility you have used to our friends whilst you were governor here, and since, I think myself obliged to let you know, that I have both station and inclination to serve you. If it should happen that you throw yourself upon me, without capitulation (for your party is certainly ruined and will every minute decay,) you shall, undoubtedly be used as a man of honour; but, if you are of this opinion, bring off as many as you can, and their arms, because your terms will be so much the better. This will seem odd if you don't apprehend the case as desperate, but because I am sure it is so therefore you have this friendly advertisement from, Sir, Your very affec. friend and servant, RICHARD Cox.

For the Hon. Sir James Cotter, those.

To this note Sir James promptly replies as follows: SIR,-Notwithstanding our former acquaintance, it seems to me you do not know me. Whatever I might have done with sitting still, when laid aside, in civilities which for Justice sake I distributed without distinction-I am now convinced, and will, I doubt not, be in a condition to return your kindness, for really your case is so desperate that you will soon have occasion for it, and be confident in anything that is just You find me, Sir,

Your very affec, friend and servant, JAMES COTTER. Give, I pray you, my services to all old acquaintances. Later on Sir James was obliged to succumb, and sue for protection, which was at once granted; and under signature of Baron de Ginckell, LieutenantGeneral, he on October 9, 1691, obtained protection for himself, family, servants, tenants, &c., with "lycence for himself and servants to keep three cases of pistolls, three fuses, and three swords for their protection."

About this time Sir James obtained a number of certificates from various persons testifying as to the humane and generous treatment they had experienced from him when in power. One of these, signed by Daniel Croke, Mayor, Walter Neale, Rector of St. Mary, Shandon, and others, states as follows:
