The recent petition of Cornelius Yflayn, abbot of the monastery of St. John the Evangelist, Gill Abbey alias St. Finbar's Cave (de Antro (fn. 4) sancti Finbarri), O.S.A., in the diocese of Cork, contained that although provision of that monastery was made to him by Paul II, and although he has since laudably ruled and administered it, and although to him and the convent belongs the choice of the canons thereof, and their confirmation to the abbot and convent of St. Mary's, Cong (de Concha), O.S.A., in the diocese of Tuam, nevertheless Rustardus de Burgo, abbot of St. Mary's, Cong, (fn. 5) and fatherabbot of the said order, and the convent of the same have, without citing him, etc., at least canonically, de facto deprived him of the said rule and administration, and, without any previous election, and against the custom hitherto observed, have received divers persons as canons of the said monastery, and have almost despoiled it of all its moveable goods, and taken them away.

The recent petition of Henry Davers and Richard Haynes, laymen, of London, contained that they, the sole executors of the will of the late Thomas Beleter, layman, of London, brought Richard Gosnore, layman, of London (who was acting as executor of the said will, and was detaining a certain sum of money, etc., belonging to the estate of the said testator, etc.), before Thomas, cardinal priest of St. Ciriac's in Termis, archbishop of Canterbury by papal dispensation, and by reason thereof papal legate in England; and that the said Richard Gosnore, falsely alleging that the said Thomas had bequeathed to him a certain sum of money in the said will, brought the said executors, with the object of having them condemned and compelled to pay him the said sum, before David William, dean of St. Mary le Bow (de Arcubus), London, locum tenens of the court of the said legation; and that although the said executors requested the said David to compel the said Richard Gosnore to desist from the said execution and detention, and offered to pay him any legacy justly due to him, the said David refused to hear them, admitted certain inadmissible articles on behalf of the said Richard Gosnore, and ordered them to answer the same, wherefore they have appealed to the apostolic see, and have petitioned the pope to commit the cause of the said appeal, etc., that of the nullity of the proceedings of the said David, and that of the principal matter, to some upright men in those parts.
