cation. The above are, therefore, to warn M'^gyiinessa and his accomplices 



that within ten days he is to restore her property, or make due amends for 



it and the death of the men. If the warning is ineffectual, they are to 



denounce them as excommunicated, in the more noted places of tlie diocese 



of Dromore, as they were excommunicated by the Bishop of Down, and to 



warn M'gpinessa that if satisfaction is not made within a further period of 



twenty-four daj's they and the places where they sojourn will be placed under 



interdict. 



This document, if we Diay judge from its place in the Register, is to he dated August x November, 

 1410. It seems to liave been written during a vacancy to the see of Dromore. This wouhl fi.\ it 

 some time iifter 30 May, when Messing was provided to the see of Sodor (Papal letters, vi. Ut7) and 

 before 4 January, 1411, when his successor took the oalli of obedience to tlie archbishop (no. 88). 



132. Letter to X(icholas MacBrady), Bishop of Kilmore (Triburnen.). 

 August X November, 1410. ff. 32 (31), 33 (32)\ 



The Prior and Convent of Fauoria in the diocese of Meatli complain that 

 certain clerks and laymen of the diocese of Kilmore detain the tithes, 

 oblations, and obventions of churches appropriated and united to the priory, 

 aud therefore, by the provincial constitutions of the church of Ai-magh, have 

 incurred sentence of greater excommunication. The bishop is therefore to 

 admonish all who have done so to restore such tithes, &c., within twelve days 

 or to make a reasonable composition for them, and if this is not done to 

 excommunicate them. If he is negligent or remiss in the matter, the 

 archbishop will do justice to the prior and convent. 



The date is inferred from the position of the letter in the Register. 



133. Letter in favour of quaestors. f. 32 (31)'. 

 August X November, 1410. States that the Master and Brethren of the 

 Convent and Hospital of St. John at Jerusalem, by reason of the schism, 

 mortalities, storms, their wars with the Turks and their capture of the 

 C!astle of St. Peter — which is a refuge for the poor flying from the enemy — 

 liave not sufficient means to build and fortify that castle. The clergy and 

 faithful of the province are therefore exhorted to receive and assist William 

 Cormok, chaplain, their proctor or messenger, and to have the indulgence 

 granted to them by the late Pope Alexander V explained to the people at 

 mass on Sundays and festivals. Those who contribute to the building and 

 defence of the castle, being confessed and contrite, are to have an indulgence 

 of forty days. 



The date is after intelligence of the death of Alexander V (3 May, 1410) had reached Ireland, 

 i.e., probably after June, 1410. The place in the Register suggests August x November, 1410.
