Lawlou — A Calendar of the Register of Archbishop Sweteman. 209 



States thtxt in a vacancy of the dignity, the right of appointment having 

 lapsed to the archbishop, by his authority Patrick (O'Corry) the dean, and all 

 the chapter except Maurice Okorry {also written Okory) provided Mastei' 

 Odo M'^donin, prior of the colidei of the chapter — then absent as proctor at 

 the Eoman curia — as chancellor, that his proctor Patrick Orethi, canon of 

 Armagh, was inducted and installed, and that the archbishop confirmed the 

 election. The chapter then stated that the chancellorship had no revenue in 

 spirituals, and in temporals nothing but a small (mediam) carucate of land 

 near Annagh, worth not more than 20s. a year, and that Odo would therefore 

 probably not accept office, since he could not retain with it his rectory of 

 Tamlactglyid. On their petition the archbishop annexed the rectory to the 

 chancellorship during Odo's tenure of that dignity. His letters to that effect, 

 sealed by him, were taken to Armagh by the dean, and were sealed by the 

 chapter. After inspection of the letters Odo assented to the provision. 



Incomplete, breaking off at the end of a page. 



Odo was commended to the Pope as proctor 20 January, 1367 ("O. 130), and the chancellorship 

 became vacai\t by the confirmation of Peter O'CaroIan as Dean of Derry, 30 July, 1367 (no. 103). 

 Since the appointment had lapsed to the archbishop, the present document must be at least as late as 

 November of the same year (C. Lat. c. 23 in Mansi, Cone, xxii. 1011). 



180. Proceedings before the archbishop regarding the deanery [of 

 12 July, 1367. Derry]. f. 38. 



Thomas M'^bloscayd, dc facto incumbent of the deanery, having failed to 

 appear in opposition to the postulation made thereto, is declared contumacious 

 and debarred from further opposition by sentence delivered in the church of 

 St. [Nicholas, Dundalk]. The archbishop has' been certified of the general 

 citation mentioned in his letter to the comarb of St. Kynnichus ^no. 1 87}, and 

 sends a mandate for a fresh general citation to Master John Ocukyge, canon 

 of Derry, and others, the text of which is said to follow, but does not appear. 



In the date only the month is legible. It seems to be fixed by no. 186, a document of similar 

 purport, and nos. 187, 188, which are apparently the letter and mandate here referred to. 



181. Letter to Master B. Dullard, canon of Limerick (Lymiricen.). f. 88. 



5 January, 1366. The letter of Dullard on behalf of one who claimed to have 

 been provided to Clonmor has been received. By counsel of Masters 

 Peter Okerwyllau and John Strode the archbishop replies that he will place 

 no obstacle in the way of the provision being carried into effect ; it will be 

 arranged (ordinabitur) that the archbishop's nephew Maurice (Sweteman) shall 

 not be a danger to the provisor ; as regards the judgement of the king's court 

 the archbishop will not burden (gravabimus) him there, but " ipsum salvum 



* At this place the MS. is difficult to read. Perhaps ' not ' should be inserted after ' lias.' The 

 certificate of the general citation is not mentioned in no. 187.
