NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 296. 



chequer of England. (Memoranda JRoU of the 

 Irish Exchequer, anno 1 Edw. II., membrane 19.) 



Upon the same Roll, at membrane 37., there is 

 a memorandum that Thomas of Kent had been 

 appointed to levy and receive the rents, arrears, 

 and debts of the Templars ; and to oversee their 

 lands, tenements, goods, and chattels ; and that he 

 had letters patent thereof, dated July 2, 



By the same rule also, at membrane 18. dorso, 

 it appears that similar letters patent were made 

 on March 8, to Richard de'Estden and Walter 

 Tryketot ; who were thereby farther ordered to 

 appoint bailiffs and servants, to inquire of their 

 debts, and to direct their lands to be cultivated. 



It appears, from the Memoranda Roll of the 

 5th Edw. II., membrane 24., that on February 3 

 in that year, friar Henry Danet, the Master, and 

 friars John de Faveresham and Ralph de Bra- 

 delee, had acknowledged for themselves and their 

 brethren {sociis suis), " in custodia Castri Dubli- 

 nensis existentibus," that John Wogan, the Jus- 

 ticiary in the Michaelmas Term preceding, had 

 paid them 241. 9s. lirf., " pro sustentatione sua," 

 of the issues of their manors of Kilclogan, Crok, 

 and Kilbarry. 



Upon the same Roll, at membrane 49., there is 

 the enrolment of the Commission whereby Alex- 

 ander de Bikenore, the treasurer, appointed his 

 clerk Robert de Whatton to audit the accounts of 

 the lands and chattels of the Templars, in the 

 county of Uriel, to inquire of all circumstances 

 and evidences relating thereto, to let the lands to 

 farm to fit and sufficient men, to receive the fruits 

 and profits of their churches, and to ascertain 

 what sums of money, arising from their lands and 

 chattels, have been as yet paid into the Exchequer. 



It appears by the same Roll, at membrane 50., 

 that John de Haddesore, Nicholas de Dromcath, 

 Hugh de Clynton, Richard de Coly, Walter Alot, 

 and Richard Fitz-Henry, were attached for twelve 

 marks sterling, due to the Templars by them for 

 tithes of the church of Keppok, for the first year 

 of Edward III. ; and which sum was payable to 

 the Templars half-yearly, viz. one half at Kilsaran 

 on Sunday in " ramis palmarum," and the other 

 half at the feast of St. Peter " ad vincula ;" as it 

 was shown by their bond, made and sealed by 

 them, and produced in court. By memoranda, 

 in the margin of the Roll, it appears that this 

 money was afterwards paid to Adam, the vicar of 

 Kilmedymok. 



By a writ, witnessed by W. of ^orwych, at 

 Westminster, on December 6, anno 19 Edw. IT., 

 and directed to the lieutenant of the treasurer, 

 and the Barons of the Exchequer at Dublin, the 

 king states that he had sent a transcript of his 

 "writ to John Wogan and Alexander de Bykenore, 

 Archbishop of Dublin and treasurer; and also a 

 transcript of the ordinance above mentioned, in 

 the first year of his reign ; that they had sent no 



certificate of their proceedings as they had been 

 commanded; and that the said treasurer, in his 

 account at the English Exchequer, had charged 

 himself " de modica quantitate bonorum et catal- 

 lorum seu exituum terrarum et tenementum et 

 reddituum predictorura Templariorum." (^Memo- 

 randa Roll, 19 Edw. II., membrane 13.)
