Notarial Instrument XIII records that: on the same day, April 6th, and place as the foregoing, in the presence of the King, &c. William Barret and Mayv [Maeduc] Carragh Barret, Englishmen born in Ireland and rebels, appeared with cords around their necks, &c., [as in Instrument XI], having sought and obtained pardon for their offences, through the prayers of the Archbishop of Dublin.
