LETTER XVII. 



1 NFORMATION being sent to Borne re- 

 specting the havock and spoil that was 

 carrying on among the revenues and lands 

 of the Priory of Selborne, as we may suppose 

 by the Bishop of Winchester, its visitor, Pope 

 Martin/ as soon as the news of these proceedings came 

 before him, issued forth a bull, in which he enjoins his 

 commissary immediately to revoke all the property that had 

 been alienated. 



In this instrument his holiness accuses the prior and 

 canons of having granted away (they themselves and their 

 predecessors) to certain clerks and laymen their tithes, 

 lands, rents, tenements, and possessions, to some of them 

 for their lives, to others for an undue term of years, and to 

 some again for a perpetuity, to the great and heavy detri- 

 ment of the monastery ; and these leases were granted, he 

 continues to add, under their own hands, with the sanction 



1 Pope Martin V. chosen about 1417. He attempted to reform the 

 church, but died in 1431, just as he had summoned the council of Basle.
