to him the duties of demanding the palfrey, ring (and] other things which by 

 the custom of his church belong to him by reason of the death of William,

 ecclesiastical censures compelling him to render, an account of his receipts 

 during his tenure of the commission. 



245. Letter to Niallan Mohergh. f. 51. 



11 May, 1373 (?) The archbishop bids him not to wonder that he did not 

 come to the last parliament arranged to be held between them. In the 

 pressure of business he forgot it. He desires him to keep the peace of Christ 

 and His Church and the King of England, knowing certainly that some of the 

 English are culpable, having destroyed ecclesiastical villas of the tenants of 

 the ISTobyr, Braktys and Dyliamstoun. 



The year is not given in the date. The letter is from Sweteman ; but the only ground for 

 supposing it to have been written in 1373 is the date of nos. 243, 244.

 of the mill (molar) for the lord's mill, and if not the lord distrained 

 therefor ; (5) that the lord had not his own serjeant (servientem) within the

 lord ; (6) that the provost had a Tolboll by the lord's gift for his service 

 (servicio) ; (7) that the lord's clerk of the outer court (de curia forinseca) and 

 of the court of hundreds had toll for his service ; (8) that the provost levied 

 all profits (proficua) of hundreds, and gave account thereof to the lord or his 

 seneschal ; (9) that the lord had taxes (census) from all taxable persons 

 (censaf) in or coming to the villa. All the above had been withheld from 

 Christmas, 1349, to 13 November, 1351. (10) The lord shall have from every 

 butcher who is not a burgess a stone weight of fat (petram sepi), receiving 

 therefor from the lord 4d., at 11 November. (11) The provost may (habet) 

 levy 11 geese at 29 September. (12) From the place (placia) of Eichard
