 31 July, 1367. States that the bishop intruded Thomas M'^bloscaich into the 

 deanery of Derry after the case concerning the confirmation of the postulation 

 had begun, thereby displaying contempt for the jurisdiction of the church of 

 Armagh and incurring sentence of greater excommunication. He is cited, 

 and commanded to cite M'^bloscaich, who was his partner in the premises, to 

 appear in the church of St. Nicholas, Dundalke, on the [hlanh^ after the 

 Assumption of B.V.M. (15 August), to show cause why the archbishop should
