He was all along conversant in courts, where he learned that address which gave a peculiar grace even to his preaching. These accomplishments obtained him the favour of many princes abroad; and at home he was particularly happy in that of King CHARLES I., who admitted him into his privy council, both in Scotland and Ireland, in which stations he was continued by King CHARLES II. after the restoration of the royal family. His chief preferment in the church of Scotland was the bishoprick of Orkney, called the bishoprick of the Isles, from whence he was translated to Raphoe, on the 1st June, 1633, and was the same year admitted into the privy council of Ireland. When he first came to Raphoe, he found the revenues of it engrossed into the hands of several gentlemen, who combined together to maintain what they had gotten. But, by an expensive lawsuit, he retrieved the rights and estate of the see, and increased the income of it nearly one-third. He built a stately palace in his diocese for himself and his successors, contriving it for strength as well as beauty, which proved to be useful afterwards in the rebellion of 1641, and preserved a good part of that country, particularly those under his protection in his diocese. Yet he would not JOHN LESLIE, the founder of the Glasslough branch of the Leslie family, in Ireland, a descendant of the house of Balquhuir, in Aberdeenshire, was born in the north of Scotland, and educated first at Aberdeen and then at Oxford. Of this distinguished divine we have the following interesting account in Sir James Ware's History of Ireland, edited by Harris. "John Leslie spoke French, Spanish, and Italian, with the same propriety and fluency as the natives; and was so great a master of the Latin that it is said of him, when he was in Spain, "Solus Lesleius Latine loquitur." He continued twenty-two years abroad, and during that time was at the siege of Ro Glebe, county of Sligo (of which | place is now called Coote Hall) is supposed place he was rector), in April, 1832. to be the chief of the name of O'Mulloy.

These possessions consisted of the grant already stated to have been made to Captain Anthony Mulloy (ELIZABETH's reign), and were known by the name of Urthaheera, which large tract of country fell, during the rebellion, into the hands of the Cootes, of whom the first that obtained a footing in Connaught, was Sir Charles Coote, father to the first Earl of Mountrath, and brother to Richard, Lord Colooney. The office of hereditary standard bearer to the crown of England in Ireland, vests in this family, and Mr. Mulloy, of Oak Port, is in possession of a drawing copied from an original entry made in a record in the office of arms (Dublin Castle), by Thomas Preston, esq. Ulster king at arms, in the year 1634, and attested by Sir William Betham (the present Ulster), representing O'Mulloy invested with the coat armour proper to his office, mounted upon a steed richly caparisoned, bearing in his hand the standard of England, and upon his shield the family arms. The posterity of Hugh Mor (or great) O'Mulloy, Lord of Fircal, having failed in the elder line, in the person of Conall O'Mulloy, chief of his name, and Lord of Fercall (or Fircal) in the reign of Queen ELIZABETH, (vide O'Mulloy pedigree,office of arms) the honours of primogeniture devolve A division of that part of the manor of Coote Hall, which still retains the name, has, by purchase, latterly become the property of Hugh Barton, esq. from whom Mr. Mulloy, of Oak Port, holds it by lease. An extensive portion of the former manor of Coote Hall, now simply called Ballyfermoyle, has also by purchase come into the possession of the Oak Port family. Thus upon the posterity of Captain Anthony Mul-time has rendered to the descendants of the loy, who, as we have already stated, was the first of the O'Mulloys who settled in Connaught, and tenth in descent in the younger line from the said Hugh Mor. Coote Mulloy, esq. of Hughstown (the lineal descendant of Captain Anthony) is therefore the present chief of his name, and consequently hereditary standard bearer to the crown of England in Ireland. The present O'Mulloys in the King's county belong to a branch junior to that of which Captain Anthony was the founder, (vide O’Mulloy pedigree, office of arms). Brewer, in his "Beauties of Ireland," adverts to this circumstance (see vol. ii. Leinster, King's county), by observing that "O'Mulloy, of Wyhteheese, county of Roscommon, (which original proprietors, the justice of restoring to them part of the domains of their ances tors.

Yet he would not take military command on him, as judging it not suitable to his functions; though upon occasions we are told that he performed the office of a general, and even ventured to expose his own person, as particularly in the case of Sir Ralph Gore, who was besieged in Magherebeg, and reduced to great extremities. When the Lagan forces, consisting of three regiments, refused to hazard themselves for the relief of him and his party, yet this bishop with his company, tenants and friends, sallied forth amidst the flames of the whole country, relieved the besieged, and evidenced in the action as much personal valour as regular conduct. After the declension of the king's cause in England, he raised a foot company for his majesty in Ireland, and maintained them, both officers and soldiers, at his own charge. He afterwards endured a siege in his castle of Raphoe, before he would surrender it to Oliver Cromwell, and held out the last in that country. After the king's restoration, he hastened with so much zeal to see him, that he rode from Chester to London in twenty-four hours. He was translated to the see of Clogher on the 17th June, 1661; and it is said, the king would afterwards have given him more profitable preferments, but he excused himself, resolving to end his labours among those with whom he had suffered, and where his influence was most powerful. | He was a person of great temperance, and so great a stranger to covetousness, that he hardly understood money, which, however, he employed to the best uses. He wrote on the art of memory, and several other curious and learned treatises, which were designed for the public, but were all destroyed with his library, of many years collection, and several manuscripts, which he had gained in foreign countries, partly by the rapine of the Irish, and partly by King WILLIAM's army, in 1690, long after his death. He d. at his seat at Castlelesley, alias Glasslough, in September, 1671, and was there buried in a church of his own building, which he had procured to be made a parish church by act of parliament, and consecrated to St. Salvator. He was reckoned at the time of his death the oldest bishop then in the world, having been so about fifty years, from the time of his promotion to the bishoprick of the Isles till the time of his death." His lordship's son and suc cessor, CHARLES LESLIE, was admitted a fellow commoner in the college of Dublin in 1664, where he continued till he commenced master of arts, and then entered the Temple, in London, where he devoted himself to the study of the law; but after pursuing it some years, he at length declared himself so much disgusted with a professional casu istry, always on that side of the question which bears the golden fruit, that he relinquished the legal profession, in 1680, entered into holy orders, and, in 1687, became chancellor of the cathedral of Connor. At the Revolution refusing to take the oaths to King WILLIAM, he was deprived of his preferment, and followed the fortunes of the exiled monarch. Eventually, however, after having undergone many difficulties through good and bad report, he returned to Ireland in 1721, and died the March following, at his seat Glasslough, where, in the beginning of the year 1689, there had been a brisk skirmish, wherein nearly two hundred of the Irish were slain.
