TjAWLOR — A Calendar of the Register of Archbishop Fleming. 135 



Since the archbishop is informed that Thomas Scynner, burgess of 

 Droghda, lately deceased, bequeathed money for purchasing ornaments for 

 the high altar of St. Peter's, that this money was placed in charge of the 

 mayor, bailiffs and commons of Droghda, and that they converted part of it 

 to their own uses ; he therefore, in accordance with a special custom of the 

 chui-ch. of Armagh enabling him so to act in such cases within his diocese, 

 commands the above to warn the mayor and bailiff's individually (in specie) 

 and the commons in general (in genere) to restore the money within eight 

 days ; and, if this warning be ineffectual, to cease from the public celebration 

 of divine service and the ringing of bells till they receive further order from 

 him. 



Nos. 134-136 are in hands different from that of nos. 132, 133, 137. Hence it is possible that 

 f. 33'' was originally left blank, and that these three documents are later insertions. But no. 134 

 is probably earlier than no. 135. 



135. Letter of safe conduct for E(u)genius Olorkan and Simon M^granach, 

 1410 (?). clerks, going to the Roman curia. f. 33 (32). 



This letter is certainly much earlier than November, 1411, when sentence was passed on 

 M'granach at the Roman curia for holding a benefice without promotion to holy orders (A.U. 16). 

 No inference can be drawn from its position in the Register. See note on no. 134. 



136. Letter to John FitzAdam and his fellow-justices of the Common 

 1410 (?). Bench in Ireland, at Cathirlagh, concerning the appointment of an 

 attorney. f. 33 (32). 



Since Thomas Flemyng, knight, baron of Slaun, Christopher Holywod and 

 others have taken out (tulerunt) a brief of Qimre impedit against him and 

 others regarding the church of Eiathdromnew before the above, the archbishop 

 asks them to record in the brief John Herdman, or any other person accepted 

 in their name, as attorney (seu alium quemcumque uideritis accept^ nomine 

 vestro attoruat^ seu attornat^). 



The date is before 28 April, 1414, when FitzAdam is described as late justice of the Cummou 

 Bench (C. P. S. I. 204, no. 41), and probably not much later than 14 June, 1409, when the 

 latest mention of hiui as justice seems to occur (iA. 191, no. 104). He is named without title 4 June, 

 1410 {ib. 196, no. 89). See note on no. 134. 



137. Letter to the Bishop of Eaphoe (Kapoten.). f. 33 (32)''. 

 August X November, 1410. The Bishop of Derry complains that Turgellus 

 Odomnaill, Lord of Conallia, diocese of Eaphoe, detains the tithes, oblations, 

 and obventions of a certain church, appropriate to the church of Derry, the 

 rents, issues (proventus), and possessions appropriate to the church of Derry 

 and to the episcopal mensa, as well as the episcopal thirds due to the bishop, 

 and therefore, by the provincial constitutions of the Chuich of Armagh, has 

 incurred sentence of greater excommunication. The Bishop of Eaphoe is to 

 warn Odomnaill to restore the same to the Bishop of Derry within twenty-four
