Papal Letters narrating petitions and assertions on the part of James [Hay], bishop of Ross, claiming right to the teinds of the lands of the monastery of Fearn, in the diocese of Ross, within Tarbat and Nigg and other parishes, which had been improperly and falsely withheld by Donald Donune, abbot of Fearn, etc.; narrating also that on the day appointed for hearing the cause, the procurator for the abbot appeared, while the procurator for the bishop did not, and the former therefore demanded letters of inhibition, which the court thought right and just; and therefore these letters are directed to all abbots and clergy within the diocese of Ross, to inhibit all molestation of the said abbot and convent in their cause, etc. Dated at Rome, in the second year of Pope Paul III, 30th June 1536.
