Bernard — The Charlcrs of Ike Abhcy of Duiske. 93 



neighbourhood of the abbey, as New Town, near the Jlarrow, is tlic town of 

 Graiguenamanagh, which grew up round the monastery. The judiciar's court was 

 hekl at " Newtown of Dowysky " in 1305.' 



The only other place-name which wo can recognise is Drummen-be^thc. The 

 Kavanaghs of Drummiu are commemorated on an eighteenth-century monument 

 in the ruined church of Bt. MuUins, co. Garlow, and this probably points to the 

 same locality. 



We do not know anything of the widow Brcmijl and her daughter. In 130G, 

 Eobert Bremyl of Forth held lands in Balyscaudil,- and he may have been a kins- 

 man. 



For the Hintcbcrg family see p. 17. 



Thomas Eeting appears at New Eoss in 1204,^ and in New Eoss charters about 

 the same date/ as a contemporary of David Boscher (see p. 88) and E. de Eoidun, 

 seneschal of Carlow. 



Williatn Palys is described (in an unpublished Deed among the Ormonde 

 Charters of the same period as ihisi as ' provost of New Town.' 



We assign, provisionally, this charter to the year 12G1 ; but there is no certainty 

 about the date.
