59. Letter in f.avnnv of quaestors. f. 11. 

 10 August, 1407. The priors, abbots, and secular clergy of the diocese arc 

 exlioi'ted to receive and assist proctors of the sick in tlie Hospital of St. John 

 outside the new park of DubUn, who come seeking for alms. " Parochiani " 

 of the archbishop, and others whose diocesans ratify the indulgence, visiting 

 the aforesaid sick, or giving or procuring contributions for their sustenance, 

 are to have a rela.xation of forty days of penance. 



Dated at Athyrde. 



60. Letter to the rectors, vicars, chaplains, and farmers, or their deputies, 

 August (?), 1407. of the deanery of Erthir. f. IV. 



Since from information given by the dean and chapter it appears 

 that the apparitor of Armagh was entitled to have from each of them 

 yearly a sheaf (gelimam) and two fleeces (vellera), a penny out of every 

 oblation, and a pall (pallium) from every newly beneficed person inducted 

 by him, they are commanded to pay these fees and accustomed dues to 

 Laiirence Olathagan, now apparitor. Those not paying within a month after 

 the date at which they are due shall incur sentence of greater excommunica- 

 tion. 



The date is an inference from the position of the document in the Eegister (see nos. 59, 63, 64). 

 Nos. 60-63, and apparently also no. 59, are in the same hand. 



61. Letter " for the Dean of Derry Okerrolan " [so cojitcmporary title: the 

 August (1), 1407. name does not ctppear in the text). f. 11^. 



Gives counsel to all laymen in the diocese of Derry that they should not 

 meddle with (intromittere de) the rents or fruits of the deanery, that Odoghirty 

 sliould adhere to the dean to whom the Chapter of Derry adheres, and that 

 they should permit those who are litigating about the deanery to divide the 

 fruits between them until the cause is decided, because both the litigants, 

 as the archbishop is informed, are ' apostolici " [i.e. have obtained letters of 

 provision] and have processes containing severe censures. 



The date is inferred on the same ground as that of no. 60. One of several rival deans hud been 

 provided 7 November, 1406 {Papal Letters, v. 114). 



62. Letter to Master Thomas Omustead, Archdeacon, and Master J. 

 August (?), 1407. M'^gylboy, canon of Dromore, and Sir William, chaplain of 

 St. Einian's, Viridecastrum. f. 12. 



Eecites that Sir Patrick Owen, chaplain, had been presented to St. Colmau's 

 Church, Kylkeyll, in the diocese of Down, by King Henry (IV) ; that one 

 Adam M'brune had been intruded into the said church ; that Owen had 

 appealed from J(ohn Dongan), Bishop of Down, to the court of the archbishop, 

 who had given sentence in his favour, and had also admitted him and 

 invested him as in no. 8. The above are therefore commanded to admonish
