Excommunication of prebendaries for failing to pay their fifth part by William Smith counsellor of the Dean and Chapter. The Dean and Chapter were proceeding against all those whose names are underwritten on account of their manifest contumacy in not appearing before them on the specified days, times and place in the Chapter House for the payment of the fifth part and portion of the profits of their prebends for the work, use, fabric and repairs of the Cathedral. Since they did not excuse themselves they decreed that they would be excommunicated on account of their contumacy. Therefore William Smith excommunicates them.
