A pricU of this charter is given in the extracts from the Duiske papers which 

 we have called L (fol. 82). The chapter seal attached to it is preserved ; but of the 

 bishop's seal only a small piece remains. There is another copy of a similar 

 charter extant, sealed, but without the names of witnesses, in which the land in 

 question is called Kilchomoch, and is granted " cum omnibus decimis et obuen- 

 tionibus ipsam contingentibus."
