To Patrick Frasser, dean of Caithness. Collation as below. His recent petition contained that in the cause long ventilated in the papal palace before a certain auditor between the late Robert Scrymgeour, clerk, and Alexander Suderlande, clerk, of the diocese of Caithness, about the deanery of Caithness, a major dignity, provision of which had been made to the said Robert by papal authority, and of which the said Alexander was unduly detaining possession, the said Robert obtained a definitive sentence by which the said deanery was adjudged to him and perpetual silence imposed on Alexander, which sentence became a res judicata [see above, pp. 489, 496]. The said deanery having subsequently become and being void by the death without the Roman court of the said Robert after the execution of the said sentence, and being therefore reserved as above, f. 283, the pope hereby makes to the above Patrick (who was lately dispensed, as the son of a baron, now married, and an unmarried woman, (i) by authority of the ordinary to be tonsured, (ii) having been tonsured, by papal authority to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold any mutually compatible benefices of any number and kind, with and without cure, even if canonries and prebends and dignities, even major etc., and to resign all, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased) collation and provision of the said deanery, which has cure and is elective, value not exceeding 20l. sterling, whether void by the non-promotion within the statutory time of the said Alexander to the holy orders which the deanery requires, or by the death of the said Robert, or by the resignation of one of the said Robert and Alexander or of any other, or void in any other way; notwithstanding that provision was recently made to him by papal authority of a canonry and a prebend called sub-decanal of Ross, of which he is not in possession, value not exceeding 16l. sterling, and that the pope has granted him provision of a canonry of Aberdeen and another of Brechin, with expectation of as many prebends therein and of a dignity etc. of one of them, which grant shall, upon his obtaining the said deanery, be null as far as regards another incompatible benefice only. Vite etc. |
