 1467, died "William Balfe, lord of Kynsaly, leading a son and heir, Alexander, 

 under age. William Sutton, Baron of the Irish Exchequer, desu'ed of 

 AVilliam Lynton, prior, the wardship and marriage of Alexander. In the 

 charter (quoted) in which this was granted, the names of Walter Baldewyn, 

 merchant, and Patrick Burnell, clerk, were, at the request of Lynton, substi-
