Mandate to collate and assign to John Okarten, a friar of the house of St. Thomas the Martyr, Althy (sic), of the order of Crouched [friars], in the diocese of Dublin (who was lately dispensed by papal authority, on account of illegitimacy as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he had himself so promoted, and who has made a private but not an open profession of the said order (fn. 6) ) the priorship of the said house of St. Thomas the Martyr, Athy, which is conventual, elective and with cure, value not exceeding 16 marks sterling, and was therefore reserved in virtue of the pope's general reservation of all conventual priories on its voidance by the death of Robert Droth, and has been so long void that by the Lateran statutes its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see. He is hereby specially dispensed, notwithstanding the said defect, to receive and retain it. Religionis zelus, vite etc. (C. and A. de Cortesiis. | C. xxx. Non. Maii Anno Secundo. de Montepolitiano.)

(f. 256.)		 To the archdeacon and the precentor (cantori) of Aberdeen, and Andrew Fysse (sic), a canon of the same. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of John Benale, prior of the Benedictine priory of Pluscardyn in the diocese of Moray, contained that the late John bishop of Ross took possession of and detained, as does his successor Thomas, the present bishop of Ross, certain fruits etc. and divers other goods belonging to the priory of Urchard of the said order and diocese, canonically annexed to that of Pluscardyn, on account of the parish church of Dingwale in the diocese of Ross, lawfully united to the said priory of Urchard. Seeing that, as the said petition added, on account of the distance the said prior cannot have competent judges elsewhere than in the diocese of Caithness, and that it is unsafe to go thither on account of the wildness and untractableness of its inhabitants, (fn. 7) the pope hereby, at the said petition for the commission of the cause which the prior intends to bring against the said bishop Thomas to some upright men elsewhere in Scotland, (fn. 8) orders the above to summon the said bishop and others concerned, hear both sides and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by the said bishop by the pope's authority, and by others by ecclesiastical censure, etc. Humilibus etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xvi. de Varris.) [1 p.]
