Of the two seals originally attached to this instrument, only one remains. The 

 deed was executed at the same time and place as no. 71, and it completes the 

 transaction by which the convent got possession of the laud in question. 



One additional witness gives his name here, viz., John Roche, knight. He is of 

 the same family as the other Roches, doubtless ; and he may be the same person 

 as a John de la Roche who appears at Kilkenny 8 June, 1291, " for having peace 

 of the death of Nicholas Fitz Robert by Henry de la Roche, 77/6."' He appears 

 again in 1285 and 1297 ;' and a John lloche was lay patron of the Rower parish 

 about 1300.^ See p. 111.

 thing by which the convent of Duiske shall be the losers ; the bailifls 

 of the said earl to have £200 from the convent of Jerpoint in that 

 event for putting the convent of Duiske in possession of the granges 

 of Annamult and Bewley, and for enforcing payment of the bond. 



Dated at Jerpoint, 9 Sept. 1278.
