To the bishops of London and Rochester, and John bishop of Ardfert, residing in the city of London. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Edmund Cotis, layman, and Helen Wytecastell, man and wife, of the diocese of Winchester, contained that formerly the said Helen (falsely alleging that after Edmund had contracted marriage with her per verba legitime de presenti, he contracted marriage per similia verba with Catherine Gat, of the said diocese, consummated it, and cohabited with the said Catherine), brought Edmund and Catherine before the official of the archdeacon of Surre in the church of Winchester, to which archdeaconry the said parties belong; that from certain [stated] grievances by the said official the said Helen appealed to the apostolic see, but that Catherine, in contempt thereof, brought Edmund before Thomas Wynterborn, auditor of causes of the court of the archbishop of Canterbury, who, wrongfully proceeding, excommunicated Edmund (who was not cited, at least lawfully, and was absent, but not by contumacy), and ordered and caused him to be publicly proclaimed excommunicate. The pope therefore, at the said petition, orders the above three to summon Catherine and others concerned, conditionally (ad cautelam) absolve Edmund from the said excommunication, hear both sides, taking congnizance also of the principal matter, and decide what is canonical without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure.

The recent petition of Richard Andrewe, archdeacon of Bukyngham in the church of Lincoln, contained that although the probate and registration (fn. 13) of wills, alike of clerks and laymen who die within the said archdeaconry, belong by ancient custom to the archdeacon, and although he and his predecessors have been in peaceful or almost peaceful possession of the right of proving and registering (fn. 14) such wills, and of doing other things pertaining to their execution, nevertheless John, bishop of Lincoln, and his commissaries, John More and John Wy[n]terborne, have proved and registered (fn. 15) and done other things pertaining to the execution of the wills of the late William Ufford, rector of Bech[a]mpton, Thomas Rede of Haddenham, layman, and Anne Oictelade of Codington, who lived and died within the said archdeaconry, and have molested him in regard to the said probate and registration of the wills of persons dying in the said archdeaconry, and have threatened to do so in future, wherefore he has appealed to the apostolic see, etc. The pope therefore hereby orders the above archbishop to summon the said bishop John, John Wy[n]terborne and John More, and others concerned, hear both sides, taking cognizance also of the principal matter, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed, in the case of the said bishop by the pope's authority, and in the case of the others by ecclesiastical censure.

To the archdeacons of St. Andrews and Aberdeen, and the dean of Dunkeld. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of David de Ogylvi of Inchmertine, donsel, nobleman, of the diocese of St. Andrews, contained, that whereas formerly Elena Erskyn, damsel, noblewoman, of the said diocese, falsely alleging that the said David was bound to pay her certain sums of money, brought him before the official of St. Andrews, to whom by ancient custom belongs the cognizance of civil causes between lay persons of the said diocese, and who, wrongfully proceeding, promulgated an unjust definitive sentence in favour of Elena and against David, from which he appealed to the apostolic see but, by reason of a lawful impediment, has not prosecuted his appeal within the due period. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if they find to be true what is alleged about the said impediment, to summon Elena and others concerned, hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus supplicum votis. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. P. xii. de Varris.) [1½ pp.] |
| 8 Id. July. (8 July.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 280.) |

He therefore orders the above three to collate and assign it, elective and with cure, and value not exceeding 40 marks sterling, to Peter Motyng, priest, of the diocese of Lismore, bachelor of canon law, summoning and removing John Strang alias Strong, who under pretext of an election by the chapter, after and against the said reservation by pope Pius, and under pretext of a confirmation thereof by authority of the ordinary, has detained possession for less than three years.

At his petition, containing that at the date of the said letters, or afterwards, he was not a clerk of the said collector, wherefore he fears lest they may be held surreptitious, the pope hereby grants that the said dispensation and letters shall hold good from the date of these presents, as if they contained no mention that he was a clerk of the said collector. Litterarum scientia, vite etc. (P. and A. de Piscia. | P. xviii. Pridie Non.Augusti Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [2 pp. See Cal. Papal Lett., Vol. X, p. 114.] |
