7. Excommunication. f. 4. 

 1362 X 1366 Bisliop John excommunicates Walter Wals, prior of 



or St. John's near Kylkenny, and places his priory under 



1398 X 1400 interdict for his contumacy in not appearing and giving 



or satisfaction for the pension due to Kylkenny Cathedral. 

 1404 X 1405. Printed in Carrigan iii. 252. 



There were several Bishops of Ossory named John before the Reformation, viz. : de Oxford, 

 1362-1366; Waltham, GritEn, and another John, 1398-1400; Waltham again, 1404-1405; O'Hedian, 

 1479-1487. One of these must have issued the above excommunication; but the last-named 

 seems to be excluded by the character of the hand in which this article is written.

12. Letter of Edward III to the sovereign (superiori], provost, and 

 28 January 1373 x 1377. community of Kylkeny. f. 5. 



A(lexander Petit de Balscot), Bishop of Ossory, has shown that, holding 

 his temporalities from the king in capite, he has a market every "Wednesday 

 in his villa of Irystown near Kylkeny, which is part of his temporalities, 

 and that he and his predecessors have held this market and their liberty 

 within the cross of the bishopric, freely without payment of any customs out 

 of saleable things for the murage of Kylkeny, from the time of the foundation 

 of St. Kanice's Church ; nevertheless the sovereign, provost, and community of 

 Kylkeny have demanded and unjustly taken such customs, on the ground of 

 royal letters patent, and the Bishop has sought a remedy from the King.
