[The following communication from our valued correspondent, the REV.
H. T. ELLACOMBE, affords at once a satisfactory reply to H's Query, and
a proof of the utility of "N. & Q."]
_Roger Outlawe_ (Vol. vii., p. 559.).--Thanks to ANON. and others for their
information.
As for "in viiij mense," I cannot understand it: I copied it as it was sent
to me. B. Etii was an error of the press for R. Etii, but I purposely
avoided noticing it, because my very first communication on the subject to
"N. & Q.," under my own name and address, opened a very pleasing
correspondence, which has since led to the restoration of these Irish
documents to their congeners among the public records in Dublin; a
gentleman having set out most chivalrously from that city at his own cost
to recover them, and I am happy to say he has succeeded; and in the
_English Quarterly Magazine_ there will soon appear, I believe, an account
of the documents in question. It would not, therefore, become me to give in
this place the explanation which has been kindly communicated to me as to
the meaning of the last conquest of Ireland; but I have no doubt it will be
explained in the _English Quarterly_.
