[74] Dr. Atkinson has kindly given me a reference to MS. H. 3-18, 237 and 485, the former of which ends its paragraph on ‘sencleithe’ thus:—‘If he serve from that onward, till the fifth man come and during the time (his time?), then he is a sencleithe and he cannot go from the heirs [comarba] for ever after.’
[75] See Senchus Mor, i. p. 76 and iii. p. 43.
