Document 2/137/80 (Kel. Lib., no. 49A)
- Description
- Pope Innocent III writes to the abbots of Jedburgh and Dryburgh and the dean of Teviotdale stating that he has received a complaint from the abbot and convent of Kelso against Peter, chaplain of Berwick, and others of the St Andrews diocese, concerning certain churches, lands and other things which have injured the justice of the same. He thus commands them to call the parties together to hear the case, and to establish what is just, without appeal, and causing what is decreed to be observed firmly by ecclesiastical censure. If the witnesses named shall have withdrawn out of hatred or fear, they shall compel them by the same censure, without appeal, to provide testimony of the truth, and no letter obtained from the apostolic see shall prejudice truth and justice. If all of them cannot take part in carrying this out, let two of them do it.
