CALENDARS.
Instructions to Editors.
The Master of the Rolls desires to call the attention of the Editors of Calendars to the following considerations, with a view to secure uniformity of plan in the important works on which they are engaged : —
He is anxious to extend, as far as is consistent with proper economy and despatch, the utility of the Calendars of State Papers now publishing under his control : 1st. As the most efficient means of making the national archives accessible to all who are interested in historical inquiries ; 2nd. As the best justification of the liberaUty and munificence of the Government in throwing open these papers to the public, and jiroviding proper catalogues of their contents at the national expense.
The greater number of the readers who will consult and value these works can have little or no opportunity of visiting the Public Record Office, in which these papers are deposited. The means for consulting the originals must necessarily be limited when readers live at a distance from the metro- polis ; still more if they are residents of Scotland, Ireland, distant colonies, or foreign states. Even when such an opportunity does exist, the diflicidty of mastering the original hands in which these papers are written will deter many readers from consulting them. Above 'all, their great variety and number must present formidable obstacles to literary inquirers, however able, sanguine, and energetic, when the information contained in them is not made accessible by satisfactory Calendars.
The Master of the Rolls considers that, without supersediag the necessity of consulting the originals, every Editor ought to frame his Calendar in such a manner that it shall present, in as condensed a form as possible, a correct index of the contents of the papers described in it. He considers that the entries should be so minute as to enable the reader to discover not only the o-eneral contents of the originals, but also what they do not contain. If the information be not sufficiently precise, if facts and names be omitted or concealed under a vague and general description, the reader will be often misled, he will assume that where the abstracts are silent as to information to be found in the docirments, such information does not exist ; or, he will have to examine every original in detail, and thus one great purpose will have been lost for which these Calendars have been compiled.
Q 2966. Wt. 8979. ^ a
As the documents are various, the Master of the Rolls considers that they will demand a corresponding mode of treatment. The following rules are to be observed : —
1st. All formal and official documents, such as letters of credence, war- rants, grants, and the like, should be described as briefly as possible.
2nd. Letters and documents referring to one subject only should be cata- logued as briefly as is consistent with correctness. But when they contain miscellaneous news, such a description should be given as will enable a reader to form an adequate notion of the variety of their contents.
3rd. Wherever a letter or paper is especially difficult to decipher, or the allusions more than ordinarily obscure, it will be advisable for the Editor to adhere, as closely as is consistent with brevity, to the text of the document. He is to do the same when it contains secret or very rare information.
4th. Where the Editor has deciphered letters in cipher, the decipher may be printed at full length. But when a contemporary or authorised decipher exists it will be sufficient to treat the cipher as an ordinary document.
5th. Striking peculiarities of expression, proverbs, manners, &c. are to be noticed.
6th. Original dates are to be given at the close of each entry, that the reader may know the exact evidence by which the marginal dates are determined.
7th. Where letters are endorsed by the receivers and the date of their delivery specified, these endorsements are to be recorded.
8th. The number of written pages of each document is to be specified, as a security for its integrity, and that readers may know what proportion the abstract bears to the original.
9 th. The language of every document is to be specified. If, however, the "•reater part of the collection be in English, it will be sufficient to denote those only which are in a different tongue.
10th. Where documents have been printed, a reference should be given to the publication.
11th. Each series is to be chronological.
12th. The Prefaces of Editors, in explanation of documents in the volume, are not to exceed fifty pages, unless the written permission of the Master of the Rolls to the contrary be obtained.
* * Editors employed in foreign archives are to transcribe at full length important and secret papers.

Eemission of the custom granted to the K. in aid of the war of France (459).
Viewing the entries under the above heading, and under those of the war of Scotland and Wales jMst, it is scarcely possible not to come to the conclusion that Ireland was in the time of Edward I. a country of great fertility. The supply of wheat is remarkable. That commodity could scarcely be exported from Ireland at the present day, for it is but little grown.

One of the most remarkable documents in this volume is a record from the Coram Berje Bolls of an action brought by William de Vescy against John Fitz Thomas before Walter de la Haye, escheator of Ireland (then acting as chief justiciary), and the K.'s Council at Dublin. The action was for defamation, William complaining that John had said to the King and Council in England that William had demanded of him a compact by oath that John had sided with him against the King ; William demanded that John should avow or unsay this. John said that William never demanded a compact by oath of him, but he avowed that William had used words contained in a schedule which he produces. Suffice it to say that the words which
PREFACE. XXV
will be found in pp. 71 and 72 are evidently treasonable, and John said tliat he warned the Council of them in order to save his fealty.
William having heard the tenor of the schedule accused John of uttering falsehood like a ti-aitor, denied all charges against himself, offered to defend himself by his body against John, and hereupon tendered his pledge. John on his side avowed everything contained in the schedule, offered to prove it by his body, and likewise tendered his pledge. This was simply a ivager of battel, which was in olden times, as Blackstone says, a species of trial. The K. thereupon ordered that the parties should appear before himself at Westminster, and that meanwhile the duel should not proceed.
A day having been assigned to the parties in one month of St. John the Baptist at Westminster before the K., on this day William appeared armed as a knight, namely, with an armoured war horse and other arms specified. John being called came not. The Editor has been unable to find that judgment was given in this singular action (147).

The above inadequate summary will, we trust, serve to give some idea at least of the number and importance of the documents calendared in this volume. A multitude of ancient names of places will be found here. The editor has done his best to identify all, but he has failed in the attempt. There are a great number of names of places which he could not identify ; but it is something to have brought the names to notice.
This volume contains, we believe, documents relating to the ancestors of the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Ormond, Lord Talbot de Malahide, and probably others.
xliv PREFACE.
The word Iraghtus or Iraghtum in page 279 line 18 from bottom in this volume is not correctly translated. The word in question is probably a corrupt latinized form of the Irish word Urraigh as given in O'Reilly's Irish Dictionary. O'Reilly translates this word as a chipfnext to a King.
We may here remark that No. 310 in our third volume is misplaced. Its date is later than that which it bears. We purpose referring to it in its proper place.
It now remains for me to acknowledge the kindness of gentlemen who have aided me in different ways during the com'se of my lengthy and often difficult labours. To Messrs. Hans Claude Hamilton, Alfred Kingston, and Walford D. Selby, of the Public Record Office, London, Henry Gay Hewlett, keeper of records at the Land Revenue Office, and W. H. Hart, F.S.A., W. M. Hennessy, of the Public Record Office, Dublin, Richard Caulfield, LL.D., of Queen's College, Cork, and Mons. Francisque Michel, of Paris, I have to return many and warm thanks.

Easter. 22. The K.'s writ commanding Robert Bagod and his associates,
justices of the Common Pleas, Dublin, on complaint of William de Vescy, Matilda de Kyme, and Agatha de Mortimer (coheirs and parceners of the inheritance of the Earls Marshall of the liberty of Kildare), against the Abbot of St. Thomas, Dublin, to inquire whether certain lands were incrociatce [appropriate] to that abbey, or to the abbey of Clonard. Stepney, April 11, a. r. 20 [1292].
Pursuant to this writ the sheriff of Dublin was ordered to cause to come to Dublin, on the morrow of the Ascension [May 16], 12 men of his county, 12 of the liberty of Kildare, 12 of the crosier land of Kildare, and 12 of the crosier land of the Archbishopric of Dublin, to inquire, and to summon the parties. On the above day

RELATING TO IRELAND. 15
came William de Vesey, by himself, Matilda de Kyme, and Agatha de Mortimer, by Thomas Darcy, then seneschal of the liberty of Kildare, and also the Abbot of St. Thomas the Martyr near Dublin, and the Abbot of Clonard. The parceners of the liberty complain that they were injured by the abbots in regard to the articles con- tained in the wiit (the bailiff's of the liberty always claiming redress of the injuries), and this they pray may be inquired of according to the tenour of the writ.
The Abbot of St. Thomas says that howsoever William de Vescy, the coheirs and parceners, had obtained the K.'s writ to take an inquisition regarding the articles contained in it, it never can be that by incpisition the said William or his parceners can acqviire right or jurisdiction by reason of lordship, because he says that William Marshall, senior, ancestor of William and the coheirs, parceners of that liberty, gave and granted to the canons of St. Thomas, Dublin, in frankalmoign, all the lands and tenements and all the ecclesiastical benefices which they held in the Hberty of Kildare, so far as belongs to lordship of the land, and to the patron. The parceners say that churches, lands, or tenements, given by William's ancestors to religious within their liberty, could and ought not to be appropriate, and never were appropriate, because they say that Henry, formerly Kmg: of England, the K.'s gxeat grand- father, gave to Richard Strangbowe [Strongbow] the lands of Lernster, with the liberty thereunto belonging, as entirely as he previously held them himself, except four pleas, to wit, Burning, Treasure found. Forestalling, and Rape, which the said King- retained to himself; and this they pray may be inquired of The Abbot of St. Thomas was asked by what title he claims to have the lands, tenements, and ecclesiastical benefices appropriate, and he answers by a composition made by William Marshall the elder, and confirmed by William Marshall the younger, which he produces as follows : —
Pact made between William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, and his canons of Carmel, of the one part, and the Abbot of St. Thomas the Martyr of the other, in the cause which arose between them regarding the ecclesiastical benefices of BaUysax and BaUymadan, committed by the Pope to the Bishops of Glendalough and Ferns, and the Prior of the Holy Trinity, Dublin, to wit, that the abbot and canons of St. Thomas renounced all right which they asserted they had in the benefices aforesaid, resigned all muniments which they had relating thereto, and [agreed] that any writings they retained should be void of force ; and they moreover faithfully undertook that they should never seek from the Pope or other persons anything against this pact. And the said William Marshall gave in frankalmoign to the canons of St. Thomas, Dublin, 1| carucate of land near le Corrauth' towards the East, with the free pasture of Corrauth', to wit, all the land once held by Dru, called Bahobothelan, and all the land called Selansacs' which Robert Carpenter once held ; and, so far as belongs to the patron, all great tithes and small tithes of those lands ; and all great and small tithes of Kynhex, reserving to the canons of
16 CALENDAR OF DOCUMENTS
1293. "~"
Carmel and their mother chiu'ch oblations and other ecclesi- astical profits, of which church of churches the occupiers [inJiahitatores] of common right receive all the spiritualities.
He further granted to them for ever the free and peaceful enjoyment, so far as belongs to the lord, of all the possessions which they had acquii'ed in his land of Ireland, from the time of the making of peace ; and moreover exhorts them fully to love and promote the house of St. Thomas. Made on Tuesday before the Nativity of St. Mary [Sept. 7], 1205. Witnesses, John Marshall, Philip de Prendergast, Adam de Hereford, Milo de Staunton, Herbert the clerk," G[ ] the Archdeacon,
Master Richard of Norwich, official of Dublin.
Deed Poll of William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, confirming the agreement made between William Marshall, Earl of Pem- broke, his father, of the one part, and the abbot and convent of St. Thomas, Dublin, of the other part, regarding the ecclesi- astical benefices of Ballysax and Ballymadan, and the gift made to them by Basilia, daughter of Earl Gilbert, of the church of Rathfilau, in Sachereth' Onclan, with the appurte- nances as is contained in the charter, which the monks obtained from Basilia. Witnesses, Sir John Marshall, Thomas Fitz Anthony, Fulk Fitz Warin, William le Gras the elder, William le Gras the younger, Walter Purcel, Master Deodatus, and William de Insula the clerk.
The abbot says that by these two deeds William de Vescy and his parceners can claim no right in the lands or benefices, and that from the time of the making of those deeds they [the abbot and convent] were always intentive to the K.
William de Vescy and his parceners of the liberty aforesaid say that the deeds ought not to avail the abbot or injure himself, because he says that howsoever William Marshall gave to the canons the lands, tenements, and benefices aforesaid, he did and could give to them, so far as belongs to the lord and patron, the right of patronage and. advowsons of churches, retaining to himself cognizance of causes pleaded in his court. This appears from the two deeds in which there is no mention of a gift of cognizance of causes, and although there were special mention thereof in the deeds the religious could not have the royalty, and the lands, tenements, or benefices could not and ought noiincrociari [to be made appropriate] by the deeds. It is clear that William Marshall during his lifetime never gave to the religious the liberties granted to himself, and ever after that time as well he himself, as the heirs of Leinster were seised in the court of the liberty of Kildare of all pleas as well common as pleas of the crown touching the abbot and his tenants, excepting the 4 pleas aforesaid belonging to the King, until by procuration of the abbots by reason of custody of the abbey in time of vacancy, the K.'s bailiffs, by pleading unjustly, occupied the pleas belonging to the liberty of Kildare and carried them into the K.'s court in pre- judice of the liberty aforesaid, the bailiffs of the liberty always opposing. This they pray may be inquired of, saving to William and his parceners the exceptions and reasons which he may wish
KELATING TO IRELAND. l7
1293.
to propose on behalf of the liberty of Kiklare before the K. and council against the abbots and against the deeds aforesaid.
William de Vescy and the other parceners of the liberty say that one Offblan Macelan [or Mac Gelan], an Irishman, gave to an abbot of Clonard certain lands which were appropriate, and whereof they do not claim any plea to belong to them and to be pleaded in their liberty, and that the same Oflblan gave to a prior of St. John of Clonard the land of Tvylreny', which land never was appropriate but held in onedietate of the heirs of Leinster, and this they pray may be inquired of
The Abbot of Clonard says that he and his predecessors were seised of Kylreny', as of frankalmoign belonging to his church of the gift of OfFolan Mac Gelan, before the conquest of Ireland, and ever after OfFolan's death without interruption they were intentive therefor to the K. and not to the heirs of Leinster, and this he prays may be inquired of
The reasons and answers aforesaid having been heard according to the tenour of the writ, an inquisition was taken by consent of the parties, which inquisition is sent under the seal of the justices and jiurors to the K., together "with this roll and the tenor of the deeds aforesaid, which the Abbot of St. Thomas produced on behalf of his title. And_,Thomas Darcy aforesaid, seneschal of the parceners, puts in his place, in the plaints aforesaid, Richard do Penkeston, William de Nivelle, and John Wodeland.
Inquisition (on which the parties put themselves) taken by command of the K., before Robert Bagot and his associates, justices of the Common Pleas at Dublin, on Tuesday next after the quin- zaine of the Holy Trinity, a. r. 20 [17 June 1292], in the presence of William de Vescy, one of the parceners of the liberty of Kildare, and Thomas d'Arcy, then seneschal thereof, for himself and the coheirs and parceners, and of the Abbots of St. Thomas, near Dublin, and of Clonard, touching the appropriation of churches, lands, and tenements of the abbots in the above-named liberty. Jurors : — Stephen of Exeter, Robert de Cruys, John Dardis, Robert Talebot, John de la Roche, William le Graimt, knights, Richard Teling, Walter Dardiz, Bertram Abbot, Thomas Mauley, John de Aleton, and Andrew Tyrel, Who Say upon their oath that Henry, formerly King of England, great gTandfather of the K. that now is, gave to Richard Strongbow the land of Leinster, with the liberty belonging thereto, excepting certain lands and 4 pleas, which the K. retained to himself, from which time no Abbot of St, Thomas the Martyr of Dublin had any church or churches, lands or tenements appropriate in the liberty of Kildare. Afterwards, in the time of King John, certain lords, enfeoffed of the heirs of Leinster, gave to the Abbots of St. Thomas and their predecessors, for their own use, certain churches and lands, Avhich gifts could not rightfully or justly be appropriate ; but that the abbots and their predecessors caused by writs of the K. their feoffors to come before the K.'s court to levy fines and make recognizances in prejudice of the liberty afore- said, whereof the heirs of Richard Strongbow were previously seised. They further Say that the title which the abbot and convent produced before the justiciary and before the jurors to be

examined, cannot be adjudicated upon without the K. and his council.
As to the Abbot of Clonai'd, they Say upon their oath that one Offelan McKellan gave to an Abbot of Clonard Grangath, Seliune, Balnenchurry, and Gorgranhanth', with the appurtenances, which lands have remained appropriate from the time of King Henry aforesaid until now. The same Otfelan gave to a prior of St. John of Clonard, Kylreny, which land never was appropriate, but held of the heirs of Leinster. Afterwards the land aforesaid came to the said abbot by one Simon of Rochefort, formerly Bishop of Meath, by union made of the priory to the abbey by reason of the land of Kylreny. Certain abbots of Clonard came to the castle of Carbry in the liberty aforesaid and there answered for their transgressions. Afterwards a certain Abbot Nicholas came and made a complaint to Sir John Fitz Geoffrey, then justiciary of Ireland, of grievances inflicted on him by the bailiffis of this liberty, from the time of which complaint the abbots of Clonard did not answer at the castle aforesaid nor to its bailiffs to this day.

Month and 26. The K.'s writ to William de Vescy and the seneschal of the 5 weeks liberty of Kildare. Whereas Richard Fitz Eeginald has by writ of Easter, of Quare Lmpedit impleaded before William and the seneschal in the court of the liberty aforesaid, the Abbot of St. Thomas the Martyr, near Dublin, touching the advowson of the church of St. Moling, which the abbot and convent hold to their own use, and which crosier land is annexed to their house ; and whereas the abbot had alleged that he ought not to answer regard- ing the advowson of the church aforesaid (because pleas of advow- sons of churches incroceatce [appropriate] ought to be brought in the K.'s court and not elsewhere), and had handed to them the K.'s writ of prohibition thereupon, nevertheless they had proceeded in the plaint, and had adjudicated the abbot out of the church, because he had not come before their court. The K. therefore commands William and the seneschal to send before the K. under their seals by the bearer of this writ the record and process of the plaint aforesaid, with -the original writ and the prohibition, so that the K. may have them in the octaves of St. Hilary ensuing. Crek', Aug. 20, a. r. 20 [1292].
William de Vescy and the seneschal sent the record, process, original writ, and writ of prohibition, the tenor of which are as follows : —
Pleas determined at Kildare before Richard de Penkeston, then seneschal of Kildare, on the morrow of St. Peter ad Vincula, a. r. 19. [Aug. 2, 1291.]
Richard Fitz Reginald appears on the 4th day against the Abbot of St. Thomas, near Dublin, of a plea that he allow Richard to present a fit parson to the church of Moling de Bablek [or Balilek], which is vacant, and is of his gift, as he says ; and he thereupon complains that the abbot unjustly impedes him. The sheriff returns that the abbot was summoned to be here on this day ; he does not come. Wherefore the sheriff is commanded to attach him to be here on the morrow of the Assumption [Aug. 16]. As he did not then appear, the sheriff was ordered to distrain him by his lands and chattels, and to have his body here on the morrow of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross [Sept. 15]. The abbot did not come, but the sheriff returns that he was distrained by 20 acres of land sown with wheat, 6 tassos [heaps] of wheat and oats, and ^ carucate of land
B 2
20 CALENDAR OF DOCUMENTS
1293.
at Kennoth, whereof 30 acres are sown with wheat, but there are no issues, because the corn is in cmnpo et hagardo [in field and haggard]. Wherefore the sheriff was commanded as before to distrain the abbot by all his lands, &c., and to have his body before [the justices] at the first assize, namely, on the morrow of the Cir- cumcision, a. r. 20 [Jan. 2, 1201-2]. He came not, but the sherifl' returns that he had been distrained by his lands and chattels. And there are no issues, because the corn is in field and haggard. Thereupon a canon of that abbey, namely, Brother Henry de Hauterive, came and produced the K.'s prohibition directed to the sheriff, as follows : —
The K. to the seneschal of the liberty of Kildare. Whereas pleas of advowsons of churches incroceatce [appropriate] belong to us and not to another in Ireland, and Richard Fitz Reginald impleads before the seneschal, the Abbot of St. Thomas, near Dublin, by writ of chancery of that liberty, touching the advowson of the church incroceata [appropriate] of St. Moling, in prejudice of the kingly dignity, &c., the K. commands the seneschal .that he refrain from proceeding further in that plea, and that he direct Richard to take out, if he pleases, the K.'s writ, in the K.'s coiu't, before the K.'s justices against the abbot. Witness, W[illiam] de Vescy, the K.'s chief justiciary. Kildare, Dec. 2G, a. r. 20 [1291]. The seneschal therefore, out of reverence to the K., refrained according to the prohibition from holding the plea. Afterwards William de Vescy, feeling aggrieved by the prohibition, went to the K.'s council in Dublin, asserting that this prohibition directed to the seneschal of his liberty was obtained in the chancery of Dublin in lesion of his liberty aforesaid, as the church of St. Moling aforesaid, and the other churches belonging to the abbey never were appropriate, save only those which were so at the foundation of the abbey. William praying a remedy thereupon, the abl^ot was summoned to be before the council at Dublin on Wednesday next after the octaves of the feast of St. Hilary, a. r. 20 [Jan. 23, 1291-2]. On this day the abbot and Wdliam came, and the latter renewed his complaint as above. The abbot said that the church of St. Moling was incroceata [appropriate], [and] annexed to his abbey, and that he ought not to answer without the K. A day was given to the parties before the council at Dublin on Thursday next after the Purification in the same year [Feb. 7, 1291-2]. The parties then came and renewed their allegations. A day in 3 weeks of the Purification [Feb. 23] was given to them. On this day WiUiam appeared against the abbot, and the latter did not appear. William demanded judg- ment of the default, and chiefly because the abbot did not prosecute a false suggestion contained in the prohibition. WiUiam was told that as the abbot did not prosecute or verify the suggestion, William might do thereupon what he thought expedient, William's seneschal therefore ordered his sheriff' of Kildare, as he did before, to distrain the abbot by all his lands, and to have his body at Kildare on the morrow of the clause of Easter [April 14], to answer Richard of the plea aforesaid and to hear judgment of his default. On this day Richard Fitz Reginald appeared against the abbot. The abbot did not come, but the sheriff retiirned that he had been distrained by
RELATING TO IRELAND. 21
1293.
his lands and chattels, as might appear by the returns of the writs of the morrow of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the morrow of the Circumcision. He had now been distrained by 40 acres of land sown with wheat, and 40,s. of rent at Kenneth, and by 100s. of rent at Doncriste, which were taken into the K.'s hand.
Richard Fitz Reginald demands judgment of the defaults of the abbot.
Judgment. Whereas by the statutes made at Marlborough it is provided that on the second distraint judgment should be proceeded to if the defandant came not, it is considered that Richard shall recover his presentation on this occasion to the church.

Trinity. 42. [^?? as in month and week of Easter ante No. 26, doivn to end.] In pursuance of which Record the K. directs to his justiciary of Ireland a writ as follows : —
The K. to his justiciary of Ireland or his locum tenens. Whereas pleas of advowsons of churches belong to Us and to no other person in the kingdom or lordship of Ireland ; and Whereas we have in- spected the record and process of a plaint before William de Vescy, lord of the liberty of Kildare and Richard de Penkestou seneschal of that liberty, between Richard Fitz Reginald and the Abbot of St. Thomas without Dublin, who holds of the K. in capitc — of this that

the abbot permit Richard Fitz Reginald to present a fit parson to the church of St. Moling by writ of William de Vesey lord of that hberty — whereby it is found that pending the plea aforesaid Richard de Penkeston, seneschal of the liberty aforesaid, was directed to refrain from holding pleas of this nature, and to tell Richard Fitz Reginald to sue out, if he thought it expedient, a writ in the K.'s court before the K.'s justices ; nevertheless William and the senes- chal, notwithstanding the K.'s mandate, proceeded in the plea and adjudged the abbot out of the advowson. The K. therefore com- mands the justiciary to cause to come before the K. in the octaves of Michaelmas, wheresoever the K. shall be in England, William, Richard and Richard aforesaid, to answer to the K. for the above contempt, and to the abbot for the injury done to him, provided that whatever tended to the K.'s injury should meanwhile be can- celled. Witness, G. de Thornton'. Westminster, June 3, a. r. 21 [1293]. This writ is preserved among the records of the term of Michaelmas at the end of a. r. 21.
Wilham and the abbot aforesaid appear. The abbot who sues for the K. and himself and Nicholas of Warwick who sues for the K. complain of William aforesaid as before.
William appears and defends the force, injury, and contempt, and says that he ought not to answer this complaint without Agatha de Mortimer and Matilda de Kyme, his parceners. He and they are lords of Kildare, and hold the liberty of Kildare and jurisdiction in common ; a chancellor, justices, and other ministers are constituted by their common assent, &c. As this plaint touches the liberty aforesaid, he prays judgment whether he ought to answer without his parceners, and he prays aid. The abbot and Nicholas say that they are prepared to verify as the court may decide that William and his seneschal of Kildare held the plea aforesaid against the K.'s prohibition, &c. The justices directed William to answer further if he thought it expedient. Afterwards William says that the writ by which he is summoned here, the writ of prohibition and the writ whereby the record came here before the K., do not agree, and he prays judgment of the variance. He was told that this exception came too late.
William says that he did not do anything against the K.'s pro- hibition, because he says that Richard seneschal of himself and his parceners was forbidden to hold any plea of an advowson of a church appropriate, and if it could appear to the court that the church aforesaid was not appropriate, then neither he nor his parceners ■ sinned against the prohibition. And he says that if the abbot and Nicholas will verify that the church was appropriate he and his parceners will be prepared to admit the verification. A day was given in the quinzaine of Easter wheresoever, &c. because judgment had not been rendered ; and William was prohibited in banco from impleading in the liberty of Kildare the abbots of St. Thomas or Clonard, because it had been found in the record of William sent to the K. that the abbots in times past had answered in the K.'s court at Dublin and not in the liberty aforesaid. And moreover it was found in the same record that the Abbot of St. Thomas, Dublin, had been intentive to the K.'s court in all pleas. A day for judgment

At which day the abbot and likewise William appeared. William was told by judgment that he ought not to have aid of his parceners. A day for judgment is given in the quinzaine of St, John the Bap- tist wheresoever, &c. [Coram Rege, Edw. I., No. 138, Rot. 1.]

The K. subsequently commanded the treasurer and chamberlains that as by the arch- bishop's account rendered before the Treasurer and Barons at West- minster the K. owed him 1,1781. 9s. lO^d. for surplusage of his account, the treasurer and chamberlains should compensate him for that surplusage out of the money levied from those services and fines, and should certify to the K. if any portion of the surplusage

still remained due. The treasurer and chamberlains certified that they had paid to Walter L'Enfaunt, senior, the archbishop's attorney, GQl. Os. 2^d. in part satisfaction of the debt, and that though they could not certify regarding the debts which the archbishop owed to the K., yet it was certain that they did not amount to the total of the surplusage. The K. therefore again commands them to satisfy the archbishop for the surplusage, as well regarding what remains to be levied out of the above services and fines as the allowance.
