www.rps.ac.uk
At Edinburgh, 9 April 1661, anent the
supplication presented to the estates of parliament by Kenneth, earl of
Seaforth, mentioning that in the year 1659 the petitioner, being in his
majesty's service under the command of the lord commissioner his grace for
which he, being forfeited most unjustly by the power
of the usurpers and his lands
and estate surveyed and sequestrated by one
Laurence Dundas in Brechin
who, by his power with these
usurpers, did altogether stop and impede the petitioner's peace and
capitulation unless the petitioner gave him £205 sterling, which he forced the
petitioner to pay to
the English usurpers; humbly
therefore, desiring a warrant for summoning the said
Laurence to compear
and hear him decreed to refund the
sum above-written and annualrent thereof, as the supplication bears. And anent
the warrant issued thereupon from the lords commissioners for trade and bills,
and summons
given by virtue thereof to the
said Laurence Dundas,
personally apprehended to have compeared at a
certain day bygone, which, being
called and the said pursuer, together with the said defender, both compearing
presently, the rights, reasons and allegations of both the said parties,
together with the depositions of several well-known witnesses, sworn and
examined in the said matter, extant in process, being heard, seen and
considered by the said lords commissioners for trade and bills and they being
therewith, well and ripely advised, gave in their report in the said matter,
bearing that they having heard a petition given in to them by Kenneth, earl of
Seaforth, showing that in the year 1659 the petitioner, being in his majesty's
service, was only for that reason forfeited by the usurpers;
Laurence Dundas
in Brechin got, for the surveying of his estate, £205 sterling, and that the
said earl
could not get his capitulation closed
until he should make payment of the said sum as he was forced
to do; therefore, craving that
the said Laurence
might be decreed to refund to him the said sum of £205 sterling. The said
Laurence compearing alleged that the libel
was not relevant unless it were
said that he was the person that did
stop his capitulation and condescend what manner of way he
did impede the same. Secondly,
the libel was not relevant except it said that the said earl was forced to pay
the said sum to the defender, it was replied that there was no necessity to
say that the defender himself stopped the capitulation, or that the money was
paid by the earl to him, but that it was sufficient to say that the usurpers
refused to close his capitulation until the said sum should be paid in
satisfaction of what was given for surveying his estate by the usurpers to the
defender, which he offered him to prove and was found relevant by the
commissioners, who admitted witnesses for proving of the same, and did find by
the depositions of the said witnesses that the said
Laurence was one of the surveyors of the said
earl's estate, and that one of the articles of the earl of
Seaforth's capitulation was that he
should pay £205 sterling of survey money or thereby, and the same was
accordingly paid to the English. As also, it having been acknowledged by the
defender that he got a salary from the English for the said survey, and being
clear by Anthony Wilson, Englishman, his books in
Leith that there was £200 sterling given to the said
Laurence Dundas upon that account, the
commissioners did conceive that the
said earl should be paid of the said sum of £200 sterling by
the said
Laurence Dundas. Which report, being
represented from the said lords commissioners for
trade and bills, and being this day
read and at length considered by the estates of parliament, and they well and
ripely advised therewith, the king's majesty, with advice and consent of his
said
estates of parliament, decrees
and ordains the said Laurence Dundas
to satisfy and pay to the
said Kenneth, earl of Seaforth the
foresaid sum of £200 sterling, and ordains letters of horning others in form
as appropriate.
