priory of Holy Trinity and the churches appropriated to it in the first year 

 of the Archbishop were 10 marks per annum. They were subsequently 

 reduced to 5 marks. Now, on account of various calamities and great outlay, 

 the revenues are so small that there is danger of the closing of the priory. 

 On the petition of the prior and convent, after inquisition, and with the 

 consent of the two chapters, the procurations are reduced to 2J silver marks. 

 The instrument was drawn by Masters John Bryis and Thomas Peynton, 

 notaries, and ratified by the tv/o chapters. The seals of the Archbishop and 

 the chapters were affixed, in the 6 th {sic) year of the Archbishop's 

 consecration. 



John Bowland certified that the deed was confirmed by Pope Eugenius IV, 

 by Bull dated Bononia, 3 January, 1438. 

 In Christ Church Deeds, 283, 288. 

 There is an error in the date. The pall was sent to Talbot 12 August, 1418 {Papal letters, 

 vii. 57). The sixth year of his consecration must, therefore, have ended in 1424.

8. [vi.] On the appointment of an official on a voidance of the See of 

 2 November, 1294. Dublin. f. 14^. 



The See being vacant by the death of John de Samford, the two chapters 

 met at Holy Trinity. It was decided that when the See was vacant a fit 

 person should be elected by the chapters to administer the diocese and 

 province in their name and stead (saving the rights of the archdeacon), to be 

 chosen alternately from the clergy of Holy Trinity and St. Patrick's. Master 

 Adam de Furneys was elected official, and proctors (unnamed) were elected 

 to seek royal licence to elect.

The parties appeared at St. Patrick's, and, the mayor and citizens having 

 admitted the claim, judgment was given accordingly.
