 that Dalwalgh (also v:ritten Dalwagh) Ocagauu, publicly called the horse-

 archbishop's tenant at Balithogir, thus incurring sentence of greater excon"!- 

 municatiou by the provincial constitutions of Ai-magh and the synodal 

 constitutions of Meath, and enjoins the above-named to admonish Dalwalgh 

 to restore the said eight \_sic\ pigs within eight days, and Eaymond Leyuagh 

 Bremeia to compel him, as his subject and familiar, so to do. If this admoni- 

 tion proves ineffectual, they are to denounce as excommunicate Dalwalgh and 

 his accomplices (together with their instigatoi-s (auetores), &c.), and Raymond, 

 their lord and master, and those who ratify (ratihabentes) their e\il deeds, at 

 mass on Sundays and festivals, imtil they have merited absolution. If they
