Lawlok — A Calendar of the Register of Archhishojj Fleming. 99 



In Sweteman's rent-roll of Nobber' a place is mentioned by the nanfe of 

 Brakschise : it is elsewhere called Braktys.^ The first syllable of this name is 

 evidently ■bpeAc. Can it be Brittas in the parish of Nobber, the name of 

 which is formed from the synonym b^Aic ? 



An interesting pair of documents appears in Sweteman's Register without 

 dates — the inventory of the goods of one Peter, an ecclesiastic, and his 

 testament.^ Among the debtors of Sir Peter was Master William 

 Somerville, and his executor was Master Henry Paton, Vicar of St. 

 Peter's, Drogheda. Now William Somerville resigned the archdeaconry 

 of Armagh in 1427,^ and is last mentioned, as a canon, in 1455 ;= and the 

 only Henry Paton who is known, apart from these documents, to have been 

 vicar of St. Peter's was presented to the vicarage in 1454." Hence the date of 

 the inventory and the testament seems to have been not earlier than 1454, and 

 probably not much later. In agreement with this conclusion is the fact that 

 the hand in which these two documents are written has the appearance of 

 being considerably later than that which occupies the verso of the same leaf, 

 and which belongs to 1367.' The recto of the leaf was, in fact, originally left 

 blank, and was afterwards utilized by a scribe of the time of Primate Mey, or 

 Primate Bole. 



My best thanks are once more due to the friends who assisted me in my 

 work on the Register of Archbishop Sweteman. To them^must be added the 

 Rev. Hamlet M'^Clenaghan, who has expended time and trouble in fixing the 

 position of places in the neighbourhood of Dunboyne, Co. Meath.
