 Burgo, Earl of Ulster, Eichard Taff, sheriff of Dublin, William de Hatche, 

 sheriff of Louth, Walter Trouman, seneschal of Trym, Walter de la Haye

 George de Eupe, elected by the community of the county of Lunerick.

 by proctors. William (de Bermingham), Archbishop of Tuam, and Hugh de 

 Leis, one of those elected for the county of Limerick, came not. 



(1) The county of Dublin being confused, and its parts being too remote 

 from one another (viz., Ulster, Meath, and afterwards Leinster, with the 

 valley of Dublin, &c.), it was agreed that there should be a sheriff in Ulster, 

 as well for the crosses of Ulster as for carrying out executions in the liberty 

 of Ulster, when defect should be found in the seneschal of the liberty, and 

 that the sheriff of Dubhn should no more interfere in Ulster. Also, that 

 Meath should be a separate county — including the liberty of Trym and the 

 lands of Theobald de Verdon and all the lands of the crosses in Meath— and 

 that the sheriff thereof should hold his comitatus at Kenles the Thursday
