10 Sixtus IV.



Id. May. (15 May.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 292r.)	To Thomas Barry, and William and Donatus Omurku, canons of Cloyne. (fn. 1) Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by John Omurku, priest, of the diocese of Ardfert, that provision was formerly made by papal authority to Donald Oscolay, clerk, of the said diocese, of the perpetual vicarage of Cuyllynalla in the said diocese; that a cause which arose about it between the said Donald and Donatus Omurku, clerk, of the same diocese, was brought before certain judges-delegate in those parts, and that, whilst it was still pending, Donald made an agreement to the effect that if Donatus would give up possession, he would pay him a certain sum of money, which was done, Donald thereby committing simony. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three, if the said John (who was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he was so promoted, and who cannot safely meet Donald within the city or diocese of Ardfert) will accuse Donald before them, to summon him, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage, value 8 marks sterling, to John, whom the pope hereby dispenses to resign or exchange it, when he pleases, etc. Vite etc. (In the margin: Maij.)
