to All Souls, 34 Edw. I., viz., for 2 years, by Walter de la Haye, Escheator of Ireland. (In Dublin Castle.)

The escheator renders account of 138. 4d. spent of 40 demesne acres at Kilbrittan and Ruinon set to farm by William de Caunton, sub-escheator in the county of Cork for half a year in 27 Edw. I., which Lady Annora, who was the wife of Miles de Courcye, deceased, held in dower after the death of John, son and heir of the aforesaid Miles, who held his lands of the King in Capite. And it is to be noted that for lands at Balliconig in the manor of Kilbrittan, Belagh, Barretstown, Kempeston, Oldernast, Rinron (sic), Tathsax, which were extended at certain specified sums, the eseheator answers nothing, for that a great part of said demesnes was sown before the death of said Annora, and the remainder lay fallow. He also accounts for 9s. 6d. of rent of the third part of a wear at Tathsax, of a mill at Rinron, of the prise of fish there and at Kinsale for 3 quarters of a year in 28 Edw. I.; and for the remainder he does not account, for that said Annora held these in her own hand for the first quarter of that year, and received the issues thereof. And for 10l. 2s. 6d. of rent of a free tenement there for half a year. And for 5s. of perquisites of the court and hundred there for the same time as appears by the extent thereof made by Walter de la Hay, escheator, and delivered into the Exchequer.

"Concordat cum recordo, et ex. per Thomas Chetam."

The same [escheator] renders account of 907. 78. 6d. of rent of demesnes, wears, mills, the prise of fish, free tenements, and perquisites of the court and hundred at Ballyconige in Kilbrittan, Bellagh, Barretstown, Kempston, Oldernase, Rinron, Tathsax, and Kinsale in the county of Cork, which the said Annora held in dower from Michaelmas, 28 Edw. I. to 3 February, 33 Edw. I.; when custody of the same was given to William Prendergast, Henry Hackett, and William Gaynard, for their good service in Scotland. And for 21. 128. 11d. of rent and issues of demesnes, free tenements, rabbit warrens, prise of fish, and perquisites of the court of Ballionry, Glennardule, and Finwath in the county of Kerry, which the same Annora held in dower, as above appears by the extent made by the same Walter before he delivered the same lands to said William and the others.
