The recent petition of Gilbert Omigyir, perpetual vicar of Drumcleyb in the diocese of Killaloe, contained that he obtained the said vicarage by collation made to him by papal authority; that after he had held it for about twelve years, upon Matthew Obryen, priest, of the said diocese, falsely suggesting to the pope that the said vicarage was then void, the pope, thus circumvented, ordered the abbot of Clar[e] in the diocese of Killaloe if, after summoning the said Gilbert and others concerned, he found that the said vicarage was void in any way, to collate and assign it to the said Matthew; that the latter, falsely alleging that it was void and belonged to him by the said letters, brought the said Gilbert under pretext thereof before Milerus, abbot of the said monastery, who wrongfully proceeding, promulgated an unjust definitive sentence in favour of the said Matthew and against the said Gilbert, from which the latter appealed to the apostolic see; that afterwards, whilst the said appeal was pending, they made a canonical and non-simoniacal agreement about the said vicarage; that Matthew, not without fraud, resigned it before a notary public and witnesses in the Roman court; that the pope, ordering the said resignation to be admitted, ordered the prior of the secular and collegiate church of Ynischay[d] in the diocese of Killaloe and Dermit Okaelly and Theoderic Obrien, canons of Killaloe, if they found the said resignation to have been lawfully made, to admit it by papal authority, and collate and assign the said vicarage to Thady Macormayn, priest, of the said diocese [above, pp. 391–2]; that the latter, falsely alleging all the foregoing to be true, and that the said vicarage belonged to him, brought the said Gilbert before the said Dermit, who, wrongfully proceeding, promulgated an unjust definitive sentence in favour of the said Thady and against the said Gilbert, from which the latter appealed to the said see, and obtained papal letters in the matter of his appeal to the abbot of Kyltena in the diocese of Kilfenora (Finaboren.) and the dean of Kilfenora (inasmuch as from fear of the said Thady's power he could not safely meet him in the city or diocese of Killaloe), and caused the said Thady to be summoned before Cormac, abbot of Kyltena, who, duly proceeding in this latter appeal cause, promulgated a definitive sentence by which he revoked the sentence of the said Dermit; that afterwards the said Thady, under pretext of certain letters from Matthew, bishop of Killaloe, a kinsman of his, unjustly despoiled the said Gilbert of the said vicarage and intruded himself, and is so intruded at present, wherefore Gilbert has appealed to the said see, and has petitioned the pope to commit the cause of this last appeal and of the principal matter, etc., to some upright men in those parts. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three to summon the said Thady and others concerned, hear both sides, and, taking cognizance of the principal cause also, decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus etc. [2½ pp. [See below, p. 719.] |
