Excerpt from The Register of the Privy Council of Scotland, Vol. 8 In the beginning of the year 1642 the Council, 011 an under standing with the English Parliament, had sent an armed force to Ireland to assist in suppressing the rebellion in that country. As originally arranged, the English Parliament had undertaken to pay the expenses both of. The English and Scottish troops, but on the outbreak of the Civil War it was unable to fulfil its pledge. In these circumstances the Council had to find the means in Scotland itself for the maintenance of the Scottish army in food and clothing and pay. At first there seems to have been suffi cient money in the Exchequer to meet the demand, but in February, 1643, the Council found it necessary to make an appeal for voluntary contributions, on pledge of security, to all counsellors, judges, noblemen, and others weill affected. There was a prompt response to the appeal; twenty of the Privy Councillors made offers of various sums - Argyle heading the list with ???1000 sterling.
