 20 shillings in TuUykreen, twenty shillings in Derryancrosson, 



• The date of this document is not given, but it may, with some certainty, be assigned 

 to the middle of the Hth century ; perhaps about the period of the following extract. — 

 " Whereas Murgh O'Breen having assembled a large force of Irish enemies and rebels 

 to the state, in Munster, lately came into Leinster, in aid of the Irish there, purposing to 

 make war upon the king's liege subjects, and destroy those parts, and the L. J. and council 

 together with the Peers of the Realm in Parliament assembled at Tristeldermot, perceiving 

 the damages and misfortunes the said Murgh would occasion if he were permitted to continue 

 there without resistance, ordained amongst themselves in said Parliament, that he should have 100 

 marks, if he would withdraw himself and forces out of Leinster, and do no further mischief there, 

 which sum (9 marks excepted) the clergy and commons of the counties of Dublin, Kildare, Kil- 

 kenny and Weysford agreed to pay ; and because he did not intend to depart unless he received 

 the whole sum, it was agreed by the L. J. and council that the said 9 marks should be paid out 

 of the treasury. For which a warrant issued at Tristeldermot 24th March 1377. — Rot. Claus.
