SS. Apostoli, Rome.
(f. 7.)
To Solomon Odubeanaych, rector of St. Eugenius's, Ardsracha, in the diocese of Derry. Grant as below. The pope lately [above, p. 267] ordered provision to be made to him (who had previously received papal dispensation, 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) of the above rectory, on its voidance by the death of Ysag Oculean. His recent petition contained that Cornelius Ochaemagayd, priest, of the said diocese, had before the pope's said mandate of provision unlawfully detained the said rectory for more than six years, and was still doing so; that Solomon, in his cause against Cornelius before two of the executors of the said mandate, gained a definitive sentence in his favour, and obtained possession of the rectory; and that he fears lest, inasmuch as the said mandate did not mention that Cornelius was detaining the rectory, he may suffer molestation. The pope therefore grants to Solomon (to whom he recently ordered provision to be made of the perpetual rectory (sic) of the parish church of Chepach in the said diocese, value not exceeding 8 [cf. p. 237] marks, dispensing him on account of the said defect to receive it, and to hold with it for life the above rectory of St. Eugenius's) that the said mandate of provision and the provision made to him in virtue thereof shall hold good from the date of these presents, notwithstanding the said omission. Vite etc. (Ri. xvi. Gratis pro deo in bulla et Registro de mandato domini nostri pape. Quinto Idus Nouembris Anno Undecimo. coldus.)

Mandate [to collate and assign to] Cormac Macdonnchaid, clerk, of the diocese of Elphin, who cannot have in the city and diocese of Achonry (Akaden.) a competent judge, the perpetual benefice called the rectory of Dacorand and Mota in the diocese of Achonry, value not exceeding 25 marks, which takes its name from no church, and is of the patronage of laymen, and which has been so long void by the death of Odo Oconchubair that its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see; although Donald Macdonnchaid, priest, of the diocese of Achonry, who is to be summoned [and removed], has detained possession for more than six years, under pretext of papal letters [see Cal. Lett. VI, p. 254] which contain no mention of the fact that the said benefice is of the patronage of laymen. Vite etc. (Unfinished and cancelled with strokes, without note.)
