To the official of Brechin. Mandate to rehear and examine a claim
to the patronage of the church of Kyrkmaho, Glasgow diocese,
brought by the abbot and convent of Arbroath against the late Sir
John Stewart de Kamsala. The abbot and convent claimed that the
case had been brought originally before the official of Glasgow
without apostolic delegation, and that he had pronounced a definitive
sentence in favour of Sir John and his successors who had con¬
sequently for the last thirty years presented clerks to the ordinary
of the diocese for institution by him in this church when it was
vacant. The abbot and convent represented that through the negli¬
gence of the abbot and convent of that time, an appeal had not been
made to the papacy and they were now remedying that default. The
pope therefore granted the above mandate for witnesses to be called
to settle the case.

monastery, to the late Walter de Tulogh, doncel, and his heirs, in

of Scotland was called as witness and the monks there present con¬
sented for fear of John.
