At the said petition, adding that it is asserted that neither John nor Alexander has a right, the pope orders the said auditor, if he find this to be the case, to collate and assign the said vicarage, value not exceeding 12l. sterling, to John.

Id. Jan.
Bologna.
(f. 231d.)		 To the archbishop of Cashel, the bishop of Cork and the archbishop of Hainaut in Liége. Mandate as below. The recent petition of Thomas Chapeman, treasurer of Limerick, contained that although provision was ordered to be made to him by papal authority of the said treasurership on its voidance by the death of Thomas Longe, nevertheless John Scorloke, priest, of Limerick, has prevented the said mandate from taking effect, and unduly detains possession; and that the present pope committed the cause between them, although not by its nature lawfully devolved to the Roman court, at Chapeman's instance, to Master Laurence de Arecio, a papal chaplain and auditor, who by a definitive sentence has declared the said mandate to have been and to be canonical, collated and adjudged the treasurership to Thomas, removed John, inducted Thomas and imposed perpetual silence on John [see above, p. 498]. At the said petition, adding that Thomas 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 said sentence, inducting Thomas and removing John, and moreover to execute these presents even against such intruders, as far as regards possession only, as if the said sentence had been delivered against them, invoking if necessary the aid of the secular arm, etc. Exhibita nobis. (An. and Anselmus. | An. xii. de Adria.)

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual Italian description: ‘Eugenio IV. 1436. Anno 6. Lib. 84.’ A flyleaf has, in different contemporary hands, ‘Primus de Regularibus, diuersis formis, Exhibitis, Beneficiis vacantibus, Anno Sexto domini nostri Eugenii pape iiii’ (which occurs also, hardly legible, on the bottom edge of the volume), ‘Rubricatus est per me Jo. de Niuella, Ferrarie, 1438’ and ‘Niuella.’
  • 2. The provision, which occurs above, p. 584, is not in Eubel, who has, however, the provision made to Cornelius [Omochray or Omochan, as in Brady, Episc.Succ., II, p. 184] in 1449 on the voidance of the see by the death of ‘Thaddæus’ at the apostolic see. Brady, loc. cit. (following Burke, Hibernia, Dominicana, pp. 455 and 472, who names as his authorities Fontana, Cavalerius and Ripoll, Bullar. Prædic., III, p. 220, the last of whom himself follows Fontana and Cavalerius) has ‘1436, September 3. Nicholas O'Daly, Ord. Præd.,’ ‘Nicholas’ being thus an inherited error for ‘Thady,’ which Gams also repeats.
