To the provost of St. Mary's, Bochtvel, in the diocese of Glasgow. Mandate, as below. The pope lately, upon learning that Thomas Meldon, rector of Kylkmichel [sic] in the said diocese, being in about his sixtieth year, was so old and infirm that he could not duly rule the said church and exercise the cure of souls, ordered the provost of St. Willihadus's, Bremen, to receive and admit Thomas's resignation, collate and assign the said church to William Elphi[n]sten, priest, of the said diocese, M.A., and reserve and assign to Thomas a certain yearly pension for life. The recent petition of Quintin Veyr, priest, of the diocese of Glasgow, bachelor in decrees, contained that, before the time of the date and emanation of the said mandate, the said Thomas, without making mention of his illegitimacy as the son of a married man and an unmarried woman, [and] the papal dispensation in virtue of which he had first obtained the parish church of Newlandys in the said diocese being exhausted, and without having obtained any other canonical dispensation, resigned to the late John bishop of Glasgow the parish church of Cultor [sic] in the same diocese, which he was detaining de facto, for purpose of exchange with the said church of Kylkmichel [sic], and intruded himself under pretext of a collation and provision made to him thereof by the ordinary on its voidance by the resignation of James Hndesay (rectius Lindesay), made to the said bishop, also for purpose of exchange; wherefore the said church of Kylkmichel [sic] being still void by the resignation of the said James, David Cadzow, (fn. 5) precentor of Glasgow, then vicar-general in spirituals of the chapter of Glasgow, the see being void, in virtue of special power from the chapter, made collation and provision thereof to the said Quintin; and that subsequently, also before the said time, after a dispute had, not by papal delegation, arisen before the said chapter, the see being still void, between the said Quintin and Thomas about the said church, and after a number of acts had been proceeded to, short of a conclusion, the said Thomas, whilst the suit was thus still pending before the chapter, likewise without mentioning the said defect and without having obtained canonical dispensation, and without mentioning that the said suit was pending, surreptitiously obtained the above-mentioned letters from the pope, under pretext of which and of the collation and provision of Kylkmichel [sic] made to him by the above provost [of Bremen], he intruded himself, despoiling Quintin of the possession obtained by him in execution of a definitive sentence delivered by the said chapter in the cause, which sentence had become a res judicata. At the said petition, which added that Quintin doubts whether the said collation and provision made to him and the said sentence hold good, and the said church of Kylkmichel [sic] being, as the pope has learned, still void by the resignation of the said James, the pope hereby orders the above provost, if he find the foregoing to be true, to declare null and void his said letters, the collations and provisions made to both William and Thomas, and the assignment of the said pension, and after doing so to collate and assign the said church of Kilkmichel [sic], value not exceeding 9l. sterling, to Quintin, who is of noble birth. Nobilitas generis, litterarum etc. (P. and B. de Monte. | P. xxx. Quarto Id. Decembris Anno Tertio. de Varris.) [5 pp.] |

To the bishop of St. Andrews, the abbot of St. Thomas's, Alberbrocht [sic], in the diocese of St. Andrews, and the archdeacon of St. Andrews. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Stephen Mortimar, clerk, of the diocese of St. Andrews, contained that on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Forden in the said diocese, by the death without the Roman court of John Baluul, he, in virtue of letters granted to him by Nicholas V, and during that pope's life, accepted it within the lawful time and got provision made to him, and in virtue thereof obtained possession; that he won a definitive sentence against Laurence Slith, priest, of the said diocese, before John Sthenes (rectius Scheries), official of St. Andrews, and another against Robert Crumby, priest, of the same diocese, before James bishop of St. Andrews, chosen by the parties as arbitrator, which latter became a res judicata; but that nevertheless Walter Frostar [sic], clerk, of the same diocese, falsely alleging that the vicarage belonged to him and that Stephen had intruded himself etc., appealed from such intrusion etc. to the apostolic see, and that the present pope committed the cause of the appeal and of the principal matter to Master Bernardo de Bosco, a papal chaplain and auditor, who promulgated a definitive sentence by which he adjudged the vicarage to Walter, imposed perpetual silence on Stephen, and condemned him in costs and in fruits received by him since the beginning of the suit, etc., from all which Stephen, as soon as he heard thereof, appealed to the said see. At the said petition (adding that some allege that the said sentence has become a res judicata, and adding also that Stephen, on account of a grave infirmity and his proverty due to the enormous costs of the litigation without the Roman court, has not been able to betake himself to that court for the defence of the cause nor send a fit proctor, (fn. 6) and alleging that he is ready to allow the rights which Walter employed in his favour in the cause), (fn. 7) the pope hereby orders the above three to summon Walter and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to restore Stephen, as far as is just, to appeal from the said later sentence, and in that event, and after Stephen has so appealed, to proceed in the appeal cause and confirm or invalidate (confirmare vel infirmare) the said later sentence. Humilibus supplicum votis. (P. and H. Masheim. | P. xx. de Varris.) [2 pp. +. The letters of Nicholas V referred to do not occur in Cal. Papal Lett., Vol. X.] |

Mandate, at the recent petition of Thomas Ogealvayn, priest, of the diocese of Ardfert, containing that on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Kathyr Bris[l]ayn alias Ynysdasliauag in the said diocese by the resignation of Donatus Macneyll to Maurice bishop of Ardfert, the prior and convent of St. Mary's, Killagh (de Bello loco), O.S.A., in the said diocese, to whom by ancient custom the presentation belonged, presented the said Thomas, and that the said bishop instituted him, in virtue of which presentation and institution he obtained and still holds possession, but now doubts whether they hold good) to collate and assign to him the said vicarage, value not exceeding 7 marks sterling. Vite etc. (P. and Ernestus. | P. xx. Duodecimo Kal. Martii Anno Tertio. de Varris.) [2 pp. +.] |
