made a prebend, and the rectory of Diriluran, united thereto, are to be 

 assigned or collated, and who is dispensed to hold other preferment with 

 them. 



Dated at Tarmefeghan. 



92. Letter of recall. f. 17. 

 10 September, 1367. Richard Hoper, rector of Kylkerley, who had licence to 

 study in London for a period not yet expired, is ordered to return to his cure 

 before the first Sunday in Lent (27 February, 1368) and to reside therein, the 

 licence being re-called from that date. 



Dated at the manor of Dromeskyn. 



The day of the month in the date — not now legible — is taken from Reeves's copy. 



93. Commission of Master Odo (M'^dinim), canon of Armagh, as proctor 

 Summer, 1366 (?)• o^ the archbishop and the church of Armagh. f. 17'. 



He is to be their proctor in all causes, and especially in that concerning 

 the custody of the spirituality and spiritual jurisdiction of the diocese of 

 Down during vacancy of that see, between Nicholas Laugtoun, bearing 

 himself as prior of the monks of the cathedral church of Down, and the 

 convent thereof, and certain others, religious and secular, of the clergy of 

 Down, plaintiffs, of the one part (MS. mea parte, or in ea parte, 'probaUii for ex 

 una parte), and the archbishop and his church of Armagh, defendants, of the 

 other part, at the Eoman curia or elsewhere. 



The dates of other documents on the same leaf (nos. 90-92, 9i) suggest that this commission 

 belongs to the latter part of 1367. But so late a date is excluded by no. 179, whicli proves that 

 Mi^dinim was then actually at the Eoman curia. He made ready for his journey thither in tlio 

 summer of 1366 (no. 123), though he did not start till early in 1367 (no. 130). The date given 

 above is based on the supposition that he began his prepaiations, probably soon after, certainly not 

 before, the issue of his commission. 



94. Letter to Ohandeloyn. f. 17'. 

 18 September, 1367. States that the Dean of Armagh is afraid to leave his 

 church, according to report, on account of the threats of the above and of 

 Donald Oneyll and their malefactors, made only because the dean had 

 always been faithful to God, St. Patrick, the church of Armagh and the 

 archbishop; that Ohandeloyn had prevented the dean, canons and colidei from 

 performing divine offices in their church ; that he had despoiled them, and 

 hindered them from visiting the archbishop, and interdicted the archbishop's 

 messenger. Nevertheless the dean twice wrote letters asking for Ohandeloyn's 

 absolution. The archbishop will not grant such petitions till the dean and 

 the rest have free access to him. And because Ohandeloyn has often deceived 

 him, being recalcitrant after absolution, he intends to consult the more 

 carefully with the said clerics and other magnates of Ireland on this matter,
