PREFACE.

The present volume contains abstracts of the remaining protocols in
Henry Giljsone's second book, and the greater part of the protocols in the
first book of his successor, Archibald Hegate. Gibsone held the town
clerkship till 1581, and again in (perhaps before) 1596, and for a few years
subsequently, but his books between 19th August, 1576, and 29th June,
1598, are not now extant, with the exception of a single leaf containing
protocols bearing date 1584-5.

Archibald Hegate, who succeeded Henry Gibsone as town clei-k, was
a son of William Hegate, burgess of Glasgow, and was admitted a notary
by the lords of council and session in May or June, 1581 (Appx. No. I.).
At that time Esme, earl of Lennox, cousin of the king, and great
chamberlain of Scotland, was provost of Glasgow, and he, "with authorite
and command of the Kingis majestic," appointed Hegate town clerk.' This
innovation on the town's pri\'ileges was acquiesced in by an act entered
in the burgh court book on 2.3rd May, 1581; but on 9th September, 1589,
the magistrates and council ordered the act to be "deleit and put furth of
the bulk, as repugnant and maist prejudiciall to the libertie of the toun,
they haifand electioun in their awin handis of the said office in all tyme
bygane."- Previous to that date, however, Hegate had ceased to be town
clerk. He was re-elected by the magistrates and council in May, 1583,
and June, 1584. No election is noted in 1585, and the records are wanting
between April, 1586, and October, 1588. On 20th May, 1589, "maister
Johnne Ros" was elected clerk. In 1605 and subsequent years Archibald
Hegate again held the office of town clerk, and his jirotocol books extend
in a continuous series from 1581 till 1612.

1 Glasgow Records, i. pp. 84, 85. - lb., p. 146.

viii PREFACE.

After a notary ceased to hold the town clerkship, his transactions
related chiefly to properties beyond the burgh boundaries ; and, accordingly,
the main loss to local history occasioned by the disappearance of Henry
Gribsone's protocols applies to the period between 1576 and 1581. This is
the first large gap in the protocol books subsequent to the Reformation,
and it occurs at a time when interesting particulars regarding the disposal
of church property and ecclesiastical endowments might have been looked
for. No doubt it occasionally happens that a later protocol makes up for
one that has disappeared, as in No. 2462, which sufficiently explains what
became of the ancient church of St. Tenu ; but in many cases the loss
of information is complete.

During the early years of Hegate's clerkship there was considerable
trouble in municipal and ecclesiastical circles in connection with the appointment
of Robert Montgomrie, minister at Stirling, as successor to James Boyd,
archbishop of Glasgow;' and, for the part he took in the affair, the clerk
incurred the displeasure of the presbyterian party. On 9th October, 1582,
the general assembly directed "that Coline Campbell, burges of Glasgow,
WiUiam Hegget, Archibald Hegget, and their complices, be punished according
to justice, for the seditioun and uproar made by them, being magistrates
and counsellers,- against the students of Glasgow, and shedding their blood ;"-^
and at the same time it was ordained that certain accomplices of the
provost, including "Archibald Hegget," should be excommunicated by the
minister of Glasgow " for banting the companie of Mr. R. Montgomrie,
after his excommunication, and other enormiteis committed by them."^

As stated in Archibald Hegate's act of admission, the protocol book
then supplied to him consisted of one hundred and ninety-three leaves,
authenticated by Robert Scott, clerk to the lords of session. This book
was regularly written so far as folio 180, where the notary has
inserted a statement to the efiect that some imprudent person had cut out

the next leaf, and that therefore, to avoid suspicion of fraud, he had inserted
no further protocols in the book. On four of the remaining leaves have been
written the "authorities and notabill placis of Scripture" reproduced in
Appendix II.

The extended topographical knowledge gained by the publication of the
protocols renders practicable the compilation of a map of old Glasgow in
fuller detail than has hitherto been attempted; and it is intended that
one of the three volumes now required to complete the series of Glasgow
Protocols will contain a detailed map of at least the section of the city
embracing the cathedral and adjacent streets.

It may here be explained that though the headline of the printed
Protocols still retains the years of indiction and pontificate, the protocols
themselves, at the date now reached, specify neither of these particulars.
Shortly after the Eeformation the practice became irregular, and gradually
ceased altogether; but there was no fixed rule on the subject, each notary
apparently following his own inclination. There being thus no definite
termination of the custom, it was thought as well to keep up both indiction
and pontificate as items of chronological information.

" at the requeist of Robert Scott, scrybe to the lords of
sessioun" (Glasgow Rec. i. p. 22). Giving to one the
right of nominating a burgess was a common way of
dispensing the town council's favour. On 12 August,
1575, the town treasurer of Glasgow paid £6 " for wyne
propynit to Robert Scott, scribe in Edinburght, the
tyme of his being in this toun " (,1b. p. 452).

Part of the paper having been worn ofl, the lost portion
of the notary's sign has been supplied in dotted lines.

iThe Scripture passages in the MS. have been taken
from the Latin Vulgate.

- Exodus xiv, 19, " And the angel of God, which went

before the camp of Israel, remo^-ed and went behind
them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before
their face and stood behind them ; (20) And it came
between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel."

'.i Translation— Here the people are accompanied by
the angel of the Lord, and so the Lord, through the
guardianship of angels, ceases not to protect his faithful
and elect here in this world, imperilled both in mind and
body, which is sure. Therefore they are impious and
profane words and blasphemies which are against the
knowledge and wisdom of angels.

The young man ansuerand Chryste, said to him, efter that Jesus had

and Chryste accusit him nocht of the contrar, bot sayis he lakit ane

ane grit numbir of the ehosin and best of nolt and scheip, and being
accusit thairof be Samuell, Saul excuses his doing, sayis to the propheit
that the same was reservit to mak sacrifice to the Lord thairof, nevirtheles
his excuse is rejectit and his doing is condempnit, albeit the same procedit
of him to do honour and sacrifice to God ; and that becaus he did nocht
obey the command of God in puteing man and beist to the ege of the

iSee footnote to No. 2453. The "new church" was
acquired by James Flemyn^' in the year 1570, as narrated
iti protocol No. 1702, and at that time the scliool
mentioned in the text was called the Song; School. It
had evidently been used in connection with the col-
legiate church, for the primary purpose of training its
choristers. A similar school was connected with the
cathedral (see Glasgow Charters, i. pp. 6.n-t)). With
the changes introduced at the Reformation, elaborate
choral services ceased, and music culture was to
some extent abandoned, while instruction in rudi-
mentary knowledge became more general. When the
"Inglis Schole" superseded St. Mary's "sang schole,"
accommodation for the teaching of music was procureti
elsewhere. In 1577 the city treasurer paid 40s. "for
male (i.e., rent) of ane chalmer to be ane sang school"
(Glasg. Rec. i.p. 462); and in the following year the like
sum was paid "for the maill of the chalmer to the sang
scole"(i;;. p. 4(i3).

The church dedicated to St. Thenau, the mother of
St. Mungo, is of unknown antiquity, and it long
continued a landmark of the city, giving its name to one
of the principal thoroughfares. After running a course
of varying orthography (see Mr. J. T. T. Brown's paper
in Regality Club, 2nd series, p. 127), the name has settled
into its present form, and the St. Enoch's Chuich &f
to-day conun em orates the existence, if it does not
occupy the precise site, of the mediasval structure, A
writ, dated 27 October, 1426, refers to the great street
leading from the market cross to the chapels of St.

Thomas the Martyr and of St. Tanew (Liber Coll. Nostre
nomine, etc., p. 244). This is the earliest notice of the
chapel found in extant records, but subsequent notices,
including those in the protocols, are numerous. A
charter, dated in 1475, refers to the chapel where rest
the bones of St. Thenew, the mother of St. Keritigern
(Reg. Episc. Glasg. No. 478) ; but perhaps this means
nothing more than that some portions of what were
accepted as her relics were deposited in the chapel.
Among the relics preserved in the cathedral in 14:52
were "two small linen bags, with bones of SS.
Kentigern, Thenew, and other divers saints" (Dillon's
Inventory, translated in Gordon's Scotichronicon, ii.
p, 452). At the Reformation such objects of veneration
were considered idolatrous and specially singled out
for destruction. Any relics then in the chapel would
therefore, doubtless, disappear. From the above
protocol it is ascertained that the church itself had been
converted into a barn. James Fleming, who acquired
the collegiate church of St. Mary in the Trongate
(see protocol 1702), had probabl}' got St. Tenew's chapel
and grounds under similar circumstances. Though
applied to secular uses, the building seems to have
retained its external form for some time. Woodrow,
in his "Collections for the Life of David WeeTUS '
(Maitland Club, 1S4S), p. 5, mentiotis that in the Kirk
Session Records, under date 5 May, 3595, "St. Enuis
Kirk in the Trongate is spoken of. I take it to be
what is vulgarly called Saint Tennocbis." M'Ure, in his
History of Glasgow, published in 1736, referring to
churches and chapels before the Reformation, mentions
"St. Enoch's church, without the West Port, the
remains of which is yet to be seen" (1S30 edition, p. 62).

1 James Flemynf,' acquired St, Mary's church, on the
south side of the Tronj^ait, in 1570, and transferred it to
the magistrates and council about the year 1502, as nar-
rated in protocol No. 1702 and relative footnote; and it
is probable that the "Bellious" was included in these
transmissions. On 20 December, 1595, instructions were
given for the touTi treasurer of the year 1593 accepting'
a sum of money in full_of the "maillof the Belhous,"
onehalf of the "maill" or rent being remitted "inrespect
the steiple was tane downe" (Rec. i., 175). Another
steeple, however, appears to have been erected, as on
22 February, 1594-5, the provost, bailies, and town
council, in recognition of the services rendered by
Archibald Faulls, merchant, in attending to the "re-
edifying of the Trone Church," for three years, granted
to him two booths forming "parts of their New Kirk
steeple" (Glasgow Charters, i. ; Abstract, p. 37, No. 407).
These two booths were re-acquired by the town council
in 1631 {lb. p. 75, No. 53S), at which time the steeple was
being heightened, and other alterations made, of which
particulars will be found in tlie printed records. Thus
on 27 January, 1630, it was resolved "as ane comnioun
Weill of the burgh, that the stiple of the Trongait Kirk
sail be hightit in the most best and commodious forme
can be devysit be the best craftismen, with all diligence
possible " (Glasg, Rec. i. p. 37^). Payments towards the
work were authorised in December, 1630, and February,
1G31 ilb. ii. pp. 1, 2). Then on 19 March, 1631, there
occurs the following entry in the records which appears
to refer to the "Belhous" mentioned in the text, as
distinguished from the steeple erected in connection

with the renovated church of 1592; though, taken in
conjunction with other passages in the records, it is
possible that the strxictures may have been connected : —
"The provest, bailleis and counsall hes concludit to tak
doun to the grund the haill bellhous in the Trongait,
baith new wark and auld" {lb. ii. p. .3).

M'Ure, in his History of Glasgow (1S30 edition, p. 59)i
thus describes the steeple as it existed in 1736:— "The
community . . . built a handsome steeple or spear
before . . . but not adjoining to the church, in the
year 1637. At the bottom of the steeple there is a trone
or a place for weighing of goods. . . . The city have
also furnished the steeple with two large hells that rings
at six, eight, and ten of the clock at night, and at six in
the morning, all the year over, and on the Lord's day,
and other week days of sermon ; but there is no clock in
it, because it is situate near the tolbooth clock on the
one hand, and Hutcheson's clock on the other, being all
three on one street, which, without doubt, is the fairest
in the whole city. The steeple of this church is 126 foot
high." The date of erection given by M'Ure has been
followed by other historians, and that year may have
been reached before all the fittings were completed, as
a bell for the steeple was got in 1636 (Glasg. Rec. ii. p.
41); but the work was evidently commenced some years
earlier. In consequence of its detached position the
steeple escaped the conflagration by which the church
was destroyed in 1793 ; and at the present day it fonns
one of the most interesting relics of Old Glasgow, with
a history which can be traced back to 1631, if not forty
years earlier.

1 The annualrent is stated to be redeemable for 40
merks, but this may be a clerical slip, as the redemption
money was usually the same as the price. A return of
5 merks on £40 represents about 8 per cent., a not
unusual rate at that period, though 10 per cent, was
more common. According to the canon law, enforceable
in this country previous to the Reformation, a stipula-
tion for payment of interest was not allowed ; but after
that law fell into abeyance, there was for some time no

limit to the rate which might be stipulated. A Scottish
statute (1587, c. 52 of the 1681 edition of the acts; 15S7,
0. 35, supplemented by 1597, c. IS of the Record edition)
restricted the profit to be taken for the loan of money to
10 per cent.; and the legal rate was from time to time
reduced by subsequent acts of parliament (see Erskine's
Institute, B. iii. tit. iii. s. 75, 76). These limitations,
however, were abolished by the "Usury Laws Repeal
Act" of 1854.

2 In 1494, Archibald Whitelaw, subdean of Glasgow,
endowed the chaplainry of St. John the Baptist with
two acres of land in the Deanside; and his successor,
Roland Blacader, made a similar donation (see Arch-
bishop Eyre's paper on "The Old Arrangements of
the Glasgow Cathedral" in Transactions of the Glasgow
Archaeological Society, new series, i. 483 ; and authorities
cited ; also Blacader's deed of foundation, printed in
Glasgow Protocols, ii. No. 618). As stated in protonol
No. 1375, SirWilliam Crawfurd, chaplain of the chaplainry
of St. John, feued six acres of land in the " Deynsyd"
to Mr. Robert Herbertsoun, whose son disposed of the
property as set forth in the above protocol No. 2598.

The lands contained in the protocol appear to be part
of those acquired by Hutchesons' Hospital from Andrevy

Cochrane in 1741, and transferred by the hospital to
the magistrates and council of Glasgow in 1772 (MS.
Inventory of City Writs, ii. b. 25). In the disposition to
the hospital in 1741 the property is described as "these
seven acres and a half of land or thereby, now inclosed
in a yeard, lying within the ten-itory of the burgh of
Glasgow, in that croft called the Deanside ; bounded
between the lands of (blank) on the west, Ramshorn
yeard on the south, the lands of (blank) on the east,
and the Rattonraw Street on the north ; together with
that large barn, thereafter a dwellinghouse and barn,
the dwellinghouse being now ruinous, adjoining to and

presently possest by John Maitland, John Garner, James
Maitland, William Aikine, Arthur Hamilton, Duncan
M*Auslan, WiUiam Reid, and John Logan, all gardineris

trates and council, in building lots, about the year 1787,
and is now occupied by buildings, between George
Street and Eottenrow, a little to the east of Frederick
Street.
