LETTER XVII. 
NFORMATION being sent to Rome re- 
specting the havock 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 bull, in which he enjoins his 
commissary immediately 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 
for their lives, to others for an undue term of years, and to 
some again for a perpetuity, to the great and heavy detri- 
ment of the monastery ; and these leases were granted, he 
continues to add, under their own hands, with the sanction 
* Pope Martin V. chosen about 1417. He attempted to reform the 
church, but died in 1431, just as he had summoned the council of Basle.
