 oblations, and other obventions ; and if this admonition is disregarded, they 

 are to excommunicate offenders and their aiders and abettors, with cross, 

 candles, and bells, at mass on Sundays and festivals, until they receive 

 absolution. 



Dated in the fourth year of the archbishop's consecration. 



The date places this document between 1 May, 1407, and 1 May, 1408; and its contents prove 

 that it is later than 29 April, 1407 (see no. 46). Its position in tlie Eegister points to August in that year. 



6.3. Letter of the archbishop, guardian of the spirituality and spiritual 

 c. 1 September, 1407. jurisdiction of the Bishopric of Dromore, seclc vacante, to 

 Master J. M'^gyllaboy, canon of Dromore, and Peter M^gwyryn, clerk, f. 12. 



States that Patrick Oweyn, -chaplain, rector of St. Colman's, Kylkeyll, in 

 the diocese of Down, has complained that Columba M'=kartan, chaplain of the 

 diocese of Dromore, received and receives the fruits of the chapel of Kylkeyll 

 beyc, which is dependent on St. Colman's, although while the case between 

 Owen and Adam M^brune was pending they were sequestrated, and M'^kartan 

 therefore incurs sentence of greater excommunication. Therefore the above 

 are to cite M'^kartan to appear before the archbishop or his commissaries in 

 St. John's Church, Atrium Dei, on the Monday after the Nativity of B.V.M., 

 to answer the petition of Oweyn. 



No. 62, and the position of tlie letter in the Register, indicate 1407 as the year. In that year the 

 Monday after the Nativity of B.V.M.wasr2 September; and it may be assumed that the citation 

 was issued about a fortnight before that date. Hence the date is fixed.
