Subsequently the pope made a constitution giving priority, in the obtaining of benefices in virtue of grants similar to the above, to persons residing in the Roman court over those absent [see Ottenthal, Regulœ Cancellariœ Apostolicœ p. 254, i.e. Reg.

At his petition (stating that a number of other clerks, to whom the pope had granted expectative graces under the above date, but who were absent from the said court, have in virtue thereof accepted and caused provision to be made to them of the said canonry and prebend, and even perhaps obtained possession) in order that he may benefit by the said constitution and not suffer by his being sent from the said court by the pope, the pope decrees that he, who is also a bachelor of canon law and of noble race by both parents, should have been and shall be deemed and reputed to have been present in the said court during his said absence.

1433. 14 Kal. Oct. (fn. 9) St. Laurence's in Damaso, Rome. (f. 143)	Confirmation as below. The masters, doctors, and scholars of the university of Cambridge set forth to Martin V that Honorius I, by letters dated at St. Peter's, Rome, in the year of the Incarnation 624[5], Feb. 7, (fn. 10) amongst other things inhibited, under pain of ipso facto excommunication, any archbishop, bishop, archdeacon, or their officials, from suspending, excommunicating or interdicting any of the said doctors and scholars, or molesting them or their servants, their correction being entrusted to the rector of the said doctors and scholars, with the counsel of the older and sounder members of the university; that Sergius I, by letters dated at the Lateran, in the year of the Incarnation, 699, May 3, (fn. 11) amongst other things decreed that it should be lawful for no archbishop or bishop to suspend, excommunicate or interdict the said university or any of the said doctors and scholars, without the assent or special mandate of the pope; that in the matter of the said inhibition and decree certain ancient university statutes were ordained; that the chancellor, who under the name of ‘chancellor’ held the place of a ‘rector,’ was wont to exercise all ecclesiastical and spiritual jurisdiction in the correction and punishment of excesses of the members of the university, and in the cognisance and decision of causes and matters concerning the said members; and that the originals of the said letters had been lost, either by reason of the lapse of time, more than seven hundred years, or the negligence of their keepers, or otherwise, but that very many copies, of very ancient writing, existed in the archives of the university. (fn. 12) Pope Martin therefore ordered [on July 6, 1430] the prior of Barnwell in the diocese of Ely and John Depyng, canon of Lincoln, residing in the said diocese, or one of them, after the copies of the said letters had been legally exhibited to them, if they found that the said masters, doctors and scholars and the university had been from time immemorial in peaceful possession of the use and exercise of the said ecclesiastical and spiritual jurisdiction, and of the observance of the said inhibition and decree, to confirm to them the same. At the recent petition of the said masters, doctors and scholars—containing that the said prior (the said John having been unable to take part in the execution of the said mandate) found that the said masters etc. and university had been from time immemorial in the said possession, without molestation of any archbishops bishops, archdeacons, and their officials, and that the said archbishops etc. had wholly abstained from the said jurisdiction; and that he confirmed to the said masters, etc. the observance of the said inhibition and decree and the use and exercise of the said jurisdiction—the pope hereby confirms the said prior's confirmation and its consequences. Ad fut. rei mem. Dum attente consideracionis. (An. and M. Pinardi. \| An. xxxx. de Adria.)
