the Earl aforesaid. To have and to hold to him and his heirs and 

 assigns, from me my heirs and assigns for ever, upon this con- 

 dition, that whenever the lawful heirs of Morogh Mac Muirchear- 

 tach Mac Mahon shall redeem said land from the said Earl for 12 

 cow^s, (for which their father the said Morogh mortgaged the land of 

 the Stream, part of said premisses, to my father the said Gilla duff, as by 

 the deed between them appeareth^ that then the Earl is bound to re- 

 store unto them their said land without let or hindrance, and until he or 

 they shall obtain said 12 cows for the said land from the heirs of said 

 Murogh, that the same with its appurtenances shall belong unto the 

 said Earl his heirs and assigns as aforesaid ; and if the Irish deed 

 made unto my father concerning the said land shall not warrant the 

 said Earl's title to the land of the Rath, then I the aforesaid Edmond 

 do bind myself, my heirs and executors to pay 1 2 marks of good and 

 lawful money of England unto the said Earl his heirs and executors, 

 in place of the money which I have received from him for the said 

 land. The said Earl is to defray the expences attending the confir- 

 mation of the title of said land. I the said Edmond do constitute 

 Nicholas Cumin my attorney to deliver possession of the aforesaid 

 land to the said Earl, or to the attorney whom he shall appoint to re- 

 ceive it for his use, and whatsoever shall be done by my said attorney, 

 concerning the delivery of said possession, I ratify as if I myself were 

 present in person performing every part thereof, and as a ratification 

 of this opntjract, I the said Edmond have hereto set my mark and seal.
