prior had, on such grounds, the custody of the above-named manor appears from 

 the agreement between prior Eobert and John Comyn, by which the right of 

 the prior is recognized, in return for a grant of the villa to Comyn, except a 

 carucate which Margaret Comyn held, he paying 5 marks of silver a year 

 during her life, and 100s. a year after her death. The jurors accordingly 

 find that the prior has the custody. 



The date of the agreement of Prior Kobert and John Comyn Mas 1260 ; and the claim of Holy- 

 Trinity Church seems to have been finally admitted shortly before November, 1286. See Christ 

 Chm-ch Deeds 91, 143. By these facts the date is approximately determined.

(1) A Bull of Pope Boniface VIII, confirming the privileges granted by 

 preceding pontiffs, and by kings and princes, dated at the Lateran, 14 March,
