De Exhibitis.



1460. Prid. Id.— (fn. 14) Siena. (f. 310d.)	To the abbot of Holy Trinity, Tuam. Mandate as below. The recent petition of David Breanach, priest, of the diocese of Tuam, contained that lately, on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Fuoranmor in the diocese of Annaghdown, of the patronage of laymen, by the resignation of John Macgillavanach to Donatus archbishop of Tuam, the church of Annaghdown being united to that of Tuam, the patrons presented David to the said archbishop, who instituted him, and that in virtue of the presentation and institution he obtained possession and has held it for more than three years, but now doubts whether they hold good, because some assert that the vicarage became void, not by the said resignation, but because the said John, when holding the rectory of the parish church of Ardrathayn in the diocese of Kilmacduagh (Duacen.), which has cure, obtained the vicarage by canonical collation and held it together with the rectory without any papal dispensation against ‘Execrabilis,' and that it was so long void that by the Lateran statutes its collation had lapsed to the apostolic see. The pope therefore orders the above abbot to collate and assign to David, if found fit, the said vicarage, value not exceeding 4 marks sterling, whether it be void as stated, or by the resignation of Maurice Ymulbreanaynd or by the deprivation of Thady Ymukathe, or in any other way. Dignum arbitramur. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. \| P. xxii. Quinto Id. Septembris Anno Tercio. de Varris.) [3 pp.]
