" On the death of Fulk de Sandford, Ai'chbishop of Dub- 

 lin, 6th May, 1271, 55 Henry III., the see was vacant for 

 seven years, and Master Thomas de Chaddisworth was ap- 

 pointed custodee of the temporalities. His account of the 

 receipts and discharge, from the 55th Henry III. to the 5th of 

 Edward I., from 1251 to 1257, now on record on the great 

 Roll of the Pipe in the Record Tower, supplies great light on 

 the state of Ireland at that period, and explains many facts 

 involved in mystery and doubt. It has reference to the three 

 manors of the bishopric of Glendaloch, as well as those of the 

 archbishopric of Dublin. 



" The revenues of the archbishopric from these manors, 

 at this period, amounted, on the average of the period of the 

 five years, to £1222 11 s. lOd. per annum (a sum of no in- 

 considerable amount at that time), in absolute value of silver 

 by weight to £3667 15s. 6d. of the present money, in weight 

 of silver.
