Abstract
The document is an early eighteenth century copy of the original will and testament which was written on 12th June 1562. An account of the life of Agnes Betoun is presented along with the contents of the will. A carved oak cabinet reputed to belong to Cardianl Betoun is described in detail. The door of the cabinet is in two leaves, four panels in each leaf and no two panels alike; the panels filled in with tracery. The tracery is an imitation of that usual in stonework in the windows of ecclesiastical buildings. The ancient writs of the lands of Kelly are transcribed in Latin.
