To the prior of St. Mary's, Killeydh, in the diocese of Kildare, the dean of Limerick, and Nicholas Ohywelayn, canon of Kildare.

To Master John de Mella, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate as below. Lately, on learning that the canonry and prebend of Glemethan in Dublin had become and were void by the resignation of the late Thomas Rosell', an abbreviator of apostolic letters, made to the archbishop of Dublin, the pope granted provision thereof to William Haddesors, rector of Derver in the diocese of Armagh, I.U.B. Subsequently, as William's recent petition contained, a cause arose between him and Walter Hill, priest, of the said diocese [of Armagh], who prevented the pope's said grant from taking effect, himself taking possession, and the pope committed the cause, although not lawfully devolved to the Roman court, at William's instance, to the above auditor. Seeing that Nicholas Haket, dean of Ossory, asserting that provision was made to him by papal authority on voidance by the death at the apostolic see of the above Thomas, has this day resigned into the hands of the pope, by his proctor John Feguli, canon of St. Mary's, Antwerp, an abbreviator of apostolic letters, and that the pope has admitted the resignation, and seeing that, as the said petition added, a number of persons assert that the said Walter has no right, the pope orders the above auditor if in the course of the suit he find that Walter has no right, to collate and assign the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 40 marks, to William, who lately received papal dispensation, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold, first a benefice even with cure, and afterwards any mutually compatible benefices, of any number and kind, with or without cure, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased; notwithstanding that he holds the said parish church, and that the pope ordered provision to be made to him of the archdeaconry of Armagh, which is a nonmajor dignity with cure, value not exceeding 15 and 20 marks respectively, and dispensed him to hold them together for life, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased.
