12 Dec. 1379
Richard Walsh, parson of the church of Carlow, has shown that for the whole of the past year—both when the town was burnt by McMurgh, chieftain of his lineage and other Irish enemies and rebels of Leinster, having gathered many of the Irish of Munster to rise in war to destroy and conquer the K.'s lieges of Leinster, and also afterwards until the present—he stayed at Carlow with a large host of defensible men in his company for the comfort of the K.'s lieges in that town and its vicinity, at great expense and labour, without receiving any wage or reward for that time from the K. or any other person. His house and buildings were burnt and he lost goods and chattels worth £40 and more, to the destruction of his estate. He seeks remedy. The Jcr and council being satisfied as to the truth of the premises, the K. has granted him 10m of his gift. ORDER to pay him that sum.

[13 Oct. 1379]
MEMORANDUM that on 13 Oct. [1379],1 James Butler, e. Ormond, Jcr of Ire., showed certain letters patent of the K. from Eng. before the council and Maurice s. of Thomas, e. Kildare, and others at Naas, and caused them to be read out by Thomas Ford clk:
'The K., at the petition of James [Butler, e. Ormond] and the advice of the K.'s council [in Eng., granted to him that he should be utterly exonerated and quit of the name and burden of the office [of Jcr] from the quindene of Michaelmas [1379] following, and that he should not be bound to interfere with anything touching that office, nor should he interfere in any way.
The K., Westminster, 24 Aug. [1379].'2
And because the earl's successor has not yet come from Eng., as was ordained by the council in Eng., and pleas pending in the courts will be discontinued unless someone is appointed to the office after the said quindene, the K.'s council in Ire. pleaded to the said earl of Ormond that he, having consideration for the premises, should exercise the office himself for the time being. The earl excused himself alleging that he could not meddle in that office after the said quindene because of the said letters. On this, the council similarly pleaded to the earl of Kildare, who also excused himself. Then, the Jcr and council of Ire, with the assent of the said earl of Kildare, elected Alexander [Balscot], bp Ossory, T. of Ire., to exercise the office of Jcr, and charged him with that office in so far as they could. And the bishop, considering the great necessity of the matter, accepted the office and agreed to exercise it for the time being to the best of his power. On which, it was agreed and ordained by the Jcr and council that the K.'s commission under the g.s. of Ire. should be made to the said bishop to keep the said office of Jcr of Ire. during the K.'s pleasure with a fee at the rate of £500; and it was agreed and ordained that writs of the chancery of Ire. should be sent to the T. and chamberlains of the Ex. of Ire. to deliver the said fee to the bishop, notwithstanding the K.'s writ recently sent from Eng. to the said T., ordering him to cause the K.'s money to be kept without making any payment until he should receive further orders from the K. Whereupon the bishop took the official oath.
1 The date on which the memorandum was enrolled is not given in RCH; the date given is that on which the Ormond displayed the letters patent to the council.
