At the said petition, which added that the bishop fears lest whilst the cause has been pending others have intruded themselves or may do so, the pope orders the above three to execute the aforesaid, induct the said bishop or his proctor, removing any unlawful detainer and causing satisfaction to be made to him in respect of the fruits and the said costs, and to execute these presents against any intruders, as regards possession only of the said hospital, as if the said sentence had been delivered against them, invoking the aid of the secular arm, etc. Exhibita nobis.

1433. 6 Id. June. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 187.)	To the abbot of Dunfermlyne in the diocese of St. Andrews, and the archdeacon and official of St. Andrews. Mandate as below. The recent petition of James Bruys, canon of Aberdeen, contained that John Bowmaker, sometime perpetual vicar of Falkirk (Varie capelle) in the diocese of St. Andrews, obtained three definitive sentences in his favour in his cause long ventilated in the Roman court against the abbot and convent and John de Edynburch, a canon, of Holyrood, about the said vicarage, which was wont to be governed by secular clerks, of which, on its voidance by the death of Thomas Rew, provision was made by papal authority to the said John Bowmaker, which the said abbot and convent and canon falsely alleged to be wont to be governed by canons of Holyrood, and possession of which the said canon was unduly detaining. The said vicarage having become void, as the pope has learned, and being still void, by the resignation of Bowmaker, without having had possession, to bishop Henry, although Henry Dryden, a canon of the said monastery, licentiate of canon law, without any canonical provision or dispensation has unduly detained possession for about eight years, as he still does, the pope orders the above three to collate and assign it, value not exceeding 20l. sterling, to the above James, who is of noble race, summoning and removing the said Henry; notwithstanding that the pope lately made provision to James of a canonry, with reservation of a prebend and a dignity etc. of Aberdeen, and of a benefice with or without cure, even if a canonry and prebend, dignity etc., in the gift of the bishop and the dean and chapter etc. of Dunkeld, and dispensed him to hold together for five years such dignity etc. and benefice with cure, or any two benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if dignities etc. Upon obtaining the said vicarage the said letters shall be null as regards such reserved benefice etc. with cure.
