LETTER XVII 



Information being sent to Rome respecting the havoc 

 and spoil that was carrying on among the revenues and 

 lands of the Priory of Selborne, as we may suppose by the 

 bishop of Winchester, its visitor. Pope Martin,^ as soon as 

 the news of these proceedings came before him, issued 

 forth a buU, in which he enjoins his commissary im- 

 mediately to revoke all the property that had been alienated. 

 In this instrument his holiness accuses the prior and 

 canons of having granted away (they themselves and their 

 predecessors) to certain clerks and laymen their tithes, 

 lands, rents, tenements, and possessions, to some of them 



1 Pope Martin V. chosen about 141 7. He attempted to reform the 

 church but died in 1 431, just as he had summoned the council of Basil.
