51. [xliv.] Instrument in regard to the foregoing testament. f. 53\ 



8 November, 1504. Sets forth (1) that on 11 May, 1504, brother Richard 

 Walsh, canon of Holy Trinity, Sir Thomas Philpott or Philpote, chaplain, and 

 Thomas Hobbok, literate, were examined in St. Laurence's chapel, Holy 

 Trinity Church, at the instance of the executors in no. 50. The first deposed 

 that when clerk of St. Warburge's church he went with the presbyter and 

 curate of the same, Sir Henry Mulghan, to administer the sacraments to 

 Richard Wydon, then in his last illness. Richard Wydon stated in the 

 presence of them and others that when he was eleven or twelve years 

 old, and living in the house of his grandfather Robert Wydon (a paralytic 

 and scarcely able to speak) and Alicia his wife (who was also sick), Walter 

 Chamflor, abbot of B.V.M., brought them a charter of relaxation of lands in 

 the lordship of Sauntry, providing that their daughter Alisone Wydone 

 should have the lands for life, and that on her death they should revert to the 

 monastery of B.V.M., and begged them to seal it, and that Alicia refused to 

 do so, on behalf of her husband and herself ; that the charter was never 

 sealed; and that subsequently learning that Sir George Roch, chaplain, 

 curate of Ballybaghill, was seised of the lands, he asked him whether it was 

 so, and that he denied it. The other two witnesses gave confirmatory 

 evidence, Hobbok adding that Thomas Pych, sub-prior of Holy Trinity, was 

 also present when Richard Wydon made the foregoing statement. Witnesses 

 to these depositions, Thomas Fych, sub-prior of Holy Trinity, John Browne, 

 literate, John Hayn and Walter Synott, laics. (2) That on 8 September, 

 1504, William Hebbard was examined in the nave of St. Michan's, Dublin, 

 and deposed that he was clerk of the town of Sauntri when Robert Wydon 

 was dying, that said Robert was a paralytic, scarcely able to speak, and of 

 unsound mind. He confirmed the statement that the charter was not sealed. 

 Witnesses of the deposition. Sir Thomas Pecock and Sir Richard Walsh, chap- 

 lains, Master William Walsh, notary public, John Hay, literate, and others. 

 The instrument was drawn at the request of the above-named Jonet Algan.
