PREFACE

This volume, containing a part of the first Protocol Book of an Edinburgh
notary public, being the earliest one preserved, was prepared for publication
by the Rev. Walter Macleod and printed.

It has lain for many years unfinished and unbound, but some time
ago the Town Council resolved to complete the volume and to present
it to the Scottish Record Society for distribution to their members.
An Introduction and an index have been proxdded by Miss Marguerite
Wood, Keeper of the Burgh Records.

The book itself does not require anything to commend its publica-
tion. It is the first of a long series which throw much light on the
Edinburgh of the^past, and indeed on the kingdom in general, and serves
to augment the already published records of the city with many details
as to inhabitants and topography.

The original MS, is now in H.M. Register House.

mTRODUCTION

The Protocol Books of the Edinburgh Notaries and Town Clerks are
not the least interesting of the old records of the Town, although not a
part of the actual Council Records. Of these books the oldest extant
is that of John Foular, a portion of whose first volume is here given.

The office of notary public, which is of great antiquity, was held
up to the time of the Reformation by clerks in holy orders. In an Act
of Parliament of 1540 laymen are mentioned as also eligible for office.
The power to appoint them was a subject of frequent dispute between
Popes and Emperors on the Continent, in England, and apparently in
Scotland as well. This vexed question was dealt with by an Act of
Parliament of James IV. in 1469, by which he asserted his right to appoint
notaries, subject to their examination by their Ordinaries, or judges in
ecclesiastical courts, as to their qualifications, good fame and loyalty.
By this Act papal notaries were allowed full recognition, while imperial
notaries, present and future, were to be examined by the Ordinaries,
with power to dismiss or to make them royal notaries as circumstances
should dictate. Each properly appointed notary bore his qualifications
on the docquet with which he ended his various instruments, and owned
a sign manual and motto of his own. The docquet of John Foular bears
that he was a clerk of the diocese of St Andrews and a notary apostolic.

A Notary Public received upon his appointment a Protocol Book,
in which he was bound to enter all instruments drawn by him. Each
new book had to be signed by the Lord Clerk Register. It is perhaps
worthy of note that in 1622 an Act of the Court of Session relieved the
Town Clerks of Edinburgh as notaries public from that obligation, due,
as was explained, to inconveniences caused by dishonest notaries. The
reason given was that such inconveniences had been prevented by
the Magistrates' appointment of such " famous, honest and unsuspect

vii

persons " that no abuses need be feared. Thereafter, only the first
books after their appointment required to be signed.

The books of the Edinburgh notaries are vakiable as registers
of burgh sasines earlier than the official registers, though latterly they
were found not to be sufficiently complete to take the place of such a
record. Those of the early notaries, however, are not limited to sasines.
Edinburgh, as the recognised capital, and the usual residence of the
King, became more and more a place to which people resorted, and
consequently a place suitable for the transaction of business. So we
find in Foular's first Protocol Book sasines of land both within and
without the burgh, even in far parts of Scotland, documents recording
trade agreements and others referring to cases summoned before the
King, his officers of State or the Lords of Council.

It appears to be accepted that the Town or Common Clerks of
Edinbui'gh acted as notaries public in all infeftments of burghal property.
This was the case in the seventeenth and following centuries, indeed in
the latter part of the sixteenth century. But whether John Foular
and other early notaries occupied permanent official positions with
regard to the town cannot be stated. Foular acted as notary, according
to the evidence of his books, from 1501 to 1534. For parts of that period
the books of three other notaries are also preserved^hose of Vincent
Strathauchin for 1507 to 1524 ; of Thomas Strathauchin for 1513 to 1517 ;
and of Adam Otterburne for 1515 to 1519. Otterburne, so far as can
be ascertained, was Town Clerk from 1507 to 1522 ; Foular held the
clerkship as a temporary post, jointly with Vincent Strathauchin in
1522, and again alone in 1530 and 1531 ; Thomas Strathauchin apparently
never held office under the Town Council. There is also evidence in their
books and elsewhere of the existence of other notaries in the burgh,
although the four mentioned are the only ones whose books have been
preserved. Although there is a certain diversity in their entries, the
bulk of the entries concern burghal property. After the appointment
of the first of the three Alexander CJuthries — father, son and grandson —
as Common Clerks, most of the sasines were recorded by them as
notaries public, but it was not till 1G02 that such work appears to have
been done exclusively by the Clerks.

The Protocol Books of the Edinburgh notaries public, besides
being the earliest record of the transfer of lands within burgh, were

viii

till 1617 the only ones. At that date a public register of sasines was
ordered to be kept under the charge of the Lord Clerk Register. It
was not till 1681 that the burgh register of sasines was established, and
with its establishment the protocol books diminished in value, being
in great measure superseded by the public register, though the books
of the Town Clerks or their deputes are available till 1746.

The value of the books of the Edinburgh notaries public was
therefore great in their time as recording all instruments of sasine, with
the names of the owners and the bounds of the properties. Kow these
bounds are in large measure indefinite because they are given, as was
the practice, by referring to the names of the owners or occupiers of
the adjoining lands. In so small a town as Edinburgh was practically
till the middle of the eighteenth century, where everyone knew his
neighbours, the custom was apparently sufficient.

John Foular, during his thirty-three years as notary, filled four
volumes with the instruments recorded by him. In that time there are
only two gaps of several months. As these occur at the end of volumes,
it is probable that it is merely a case of a few^ pages having been lost.

The entries are for the most part in Latin, but a few are in Hcots.
Some idea of the work represented by these volumes is seen in the
present printed book, which contains the text and summaries of two
hundred and eighty-five deeds, which filled only sixty pages of Foular's
first volume, approximately 606 pages, and cover roughly a period of
three years.

The contents of these sixty pages of the old manuscript give a fair
idea of the scope of the rest. As has been indicated, the actual value of
the boundaries given by him. is little as regards the determining of the
situation of the properties with which he dealt. But a considerable
amount can be gathered about their situation by the grouping of the
names of the better-known burgesses. The book also shows, though
very approximately, the number of the inhabitants of the burgh
possessing property, among those being not only the men who made
the actual transfers, but also the witnesses, who apparently were those
persons who had an interest in adjoining property.

Some of the documents recorded are interesting as illustrating
the topography of the town or as presenting problems to be solved
concerning the bounds. Several entries raise questions about the line

of the town wall. This, in Foulai's tinio, was the King's Wall, for the
building of which a charter was granted to the Town in 1472 by James
III. In the hrst place, Foular seems to differentiate between the wall
west and east of the port at the Over Bow. The portion proceeding
eastward, about midway between the High Street and the Cowgate,
is for him the King's "VVall,i and presents no difficulty. With the wall
proceeding westward it is difierent : that portion usually seems to be
known to him as the Castle Wall,'- murum castri burcji. The name
suggests a closer connection with the Castle than the line given by
Maitland. In his Histor// of Edinbunjh he traced the wall from the
Wellhouse Tower across the north slope of the Castle Hill to a port or
gate at the top of the street, then down by Currour's Close, which turned
east and west on a part of its course, when the wall formed its northern
side, meeting the eastern portion, Foular's King's Wall, at the Bow Port.
In the recent excavations of David's Tower a piece of wall was discovered
going southward towards the Grassmarket, supposed to be part of the
Flodden Wall. But if the old wall had started at David's Tower, and
ran eastward across the southern slope of the Castle Hill, it would account
for the name better than the line suggested by Maitland. If it were
possible to identify some of the other bounds given by Foular, this might
be estabhshed. It is known that the High Street continued past the
Over Bow, and that the Grassmarket, so far as the West Port, was
alluded to as the High Street. Foular, in several places, mentions lands
bounded on the north by the Castle Wall and on the south by the High
Street. If the only line of wall running east and west was that of
Currour's Close, with the wall on the north side, it might be difficult to
account for all the lands mentioned, but, if the wall ran from David's
Tower, as suggested above, they might be placed west of that close,
till now considered the westmost boundary of the first town wall.

One of these entries is specially interesting. It concerns " the
land of old called Ladyland,^ which the late Sir John Trale, chaplain,
had in support of the service of the Blessed Mary, lying under the Castle
Wall, on the north side of the King's High Street between the lands of
the late . . . vicar of St Cuthbert's on the east and . . . the Almshouse
on the west. ..." Neither of these places has been identified so far, but

1 Nos. 30, 38, etc. See Index. ^ Nos. 110, 111,117, 148, etc.

3 No. 110.

possibly Ladyland miglit have been an endowment of the chapel of
St Mary at the Barras, which lay close by, built by James IV., if it were
not of one of the many altars of that name in the church of St Giles or
elsewhere.

For those interested in the streets and wynds of the old town,
Foular gives some unsolved problems. He mentions a close named
Winton's,! not otherwise known. The only other time the name is
seen in the records is in the mention of Eobyn of Wintoun, one of the
" great dusane " of 1403.2 Another, in giving the bounds of a property
on the south side of the High Street, mentions the passage to St Giles,
or Kirkheuch, on the west, and publicum 'pratum regium on the north. ^
The name of the King's public " meadow " suggests that there was an
open space to the east of St Giles. It is known that the Council had a
garden in some place near the Council-house, but the place is not given.
But this entry seems to point to a place east of the cemetery of St Giles
somewhere near the Market Cross.

He also supplies explanations for names formd in later records.
One instance of this is the tenement called Magdalene's Land, at the top
of the west side of Peebles' Wynd. A sasine of the year 1501 describes it
as belonging to the altar of St Mary Magdalene in the Collegiate Church
of St Giles, showing how the name arose.* Another slighter example may
be given. One instrument refers to Goddis Kirk land in Berwick's
Close. ^ Failing explanation, it would be possible to find almost any
fantastic derivation for the name, but a subsequent sasine gives a simple
one, for it was part of the lands of a John Goddiskirk.

Here and there are to be found phrases which add to the picture
of the old town and its inhabitants. The troubles to which the town had
been liable by frequent fire or enemy invasion had left their mark on it.
This is seen by the occasional references to " waste lands," or lands
destroyed which had never been rebuilt. The small extent of Edinburgh
is also brought home to us by details such as that found in the bounds of
a house in the Cowgate.^ The south side of that street rising towards
the Kirk of Field was not completely built over, for the bounds on the
south and west are given as a ditch and rig of land, and a croft or piece

of arable land. Other sasines record that, behind tenements on the
north side of the High Street, land not built on stretched down to the
North Loch.i

In more than one of the entries, reference is made to the size or
capacity of the houses. Several seem to be what we would now term
flats.- An old mansion, a self-contained house, consisted of a hall, chamber
and kitchen, with two lofts above, three cellars and a small garden.
This seems to have been a usual size of house for merchants and other
well-to-do inhabitants.^ A property of George, Lord Seton, comprised a
tenement and kiln.* Eeaders of the Abbot learn that the Setons possessed
a house in the Canongate in the time of Queen Mary, but the present
volume shows that they had a house in Edinburgh. Whether they
possessed one in each burgh, further research may show. Gardens, large
and small, are mentioned, and on one occasion an orchard. That the
Edinburgh houses were poor enough is known, but it is interesting to
find tiled ones so rare that the fact was thought worthy of special mention.^
The furniture of a house is detailed in one deed, the assignation by the
rector of Scraling to his nephew in satisfaction of a debt of 20 It. These
are given in Scots, and consisted of "a doubill counter, a strek
bed, a pres, a covertour almery, a chimney " and other articles not
named.®

Before passing to other points of interest in John Foular's book,
it may be worth noting that the names found there are those which
are repeated in later times. Several persons of the name of Merlyon
are mentioned, and Marlyeon's Close once lay between Peebles' Wynd
and Niddrie's Wynd, while tradition makes one of the name, a French-
man, the first Edinburgh paviour. In 1501 a Michael Mcquhon
witnessed a deed : it was probably a descendant of his who began to
build the IMagdalene Chapel. Alexander Lauder, Provost, who fell at
Flodden, witnessed important deeds. John Mosman, ancestor of many
Mosmans, had trouble with tenants of his lands outside the burgh,
and owned more than one land in it. George Touris of Inverleith is
named and others of his numerous family. The Unicorn Pursuivant,
William Neven, is also mentioned once or twice, and once an interesting
person, Thomas Lummysden, alias Zeland herald of the King of Denmark.

What so obvious a Scotsman was doing as envoy of the Danish king
did not seem to need explanation. A probable namesake of Carrubber's
Close, William Carribris, witnesses a sasine. Cuthbert Littil, ancestor of
Clement, founder of the College Library, and of William, merchant and
Provost of Edinburgh, possessed land. Various Cants, of the Cants of
St Giles Grange, already lived in the town. An interesting point to be
noted is the fair number of persons who possessed aliases, indicating the
presence of others of the same name in the town.^

The different crafts found in the town are mentioned as they occur.
The list is far from complete, and the crafts which are named have no
proportion to the importance which they relatively held. One thing
becomes evident, that there was no tendency for men of a like craft to
congregate in the same part of the burgh as became usual in later years
when shoemakers and fleshers were found in their own particular streets.
Bakers are mentioned once or twice, dyers also and furriers.^ Smiths,
including some goldsmiths, a locksmith and a cutler are found. ^ A
lathamus, translated lather, but probably a mason, is mentioned once.
Symon Law, carnifex, is noted as possessing a land in the Cowgate.
Though rendered here and elsewhere as " executioner," the word carnifex
in this case at least means flesher, for Law is mentioned in the Burgh
Records as such.* A curious trade is that of pannulator or rag merchant,^
found nowhere else in the town's records, although, in the charter of
James III., in 1477, provision is made for a market of " aid graith and
geir " on Fridays beside the Grey friars. A more inexplicable trade is
that of William Broun, carbonarius, rendered collier.^ He could not have
been a worker in a coal heuch, for they were practically serfs ; also, so
far as is known, no retailer of >coal ever existed in the burgh, for coal was
brought direct from the place where it was mined or from the port of Leith.
Another possible rendering, that of charcoal burner, seems to be unlikely,
for that was not a kind of work likely to be pursued within the burgh.

Some entries in the Protocol Book record judgments which must
have been given in the Dean of Gild Court, which dealt with disputes

regarding " neighbourhood." In Edinburgh it was always a vexed
question how far one neighbour might utilise the buildings of another for
support of his own, how much space must be allowed for his eavesdrop
without inconveniencing others, and how far he might bmld on to the
streets and closes. Possibly the cases given by Foular were of special
importance, so that the parties felt the need of the confirmation given by
the record of a notary public. One entry gives an agreement made
between Edward Boncle and John the Brus " by the mediacion of tender
frendis," by which the former allowed the latter to use his gable wall for
certain buildings.^ A more serious matter, in which a complaint of
neighbourhood had been investigated by " liners," ended with the verdict
that one burgess had built his gable encroaching farther north on the
High Street and on his neighbour's land than the bounds marked by the
master mason, and that that part of his building must be " distroiit,"
and that he, having no right of " ische," must close the door made by
him opening on Liberton's Wynd.^

The formalities necessary in documents of the period are interest-
ing. Sasine was given by actual presentation of the earth and stone of
the land, or of the hasp and staple of the buildings, and occasionally by
both ; in the case of estates outside the limits of the town, by staff and baton.
If a sasine was challenged, this was done by throwing out earth and stone
or by the breaking a cup or dish. Several entries show the importance
of seals in a day when few could write. A woman and her daughter
took instruments that they had delivered their seals to a clerk for the
signing of various documents in favour of the daughter's husband. One
man, sealing his procuratory for resignation of certain lands, recorded
that his seal was made specially for that purpose. One woman found
necessary to state that she had borrowed a seal in order to set it on a
document in her name.

The part of Foular's book now printed gives two documents dealing
with the trade of the burgh. It is a matter for regret that there are not
more, for too much is not known about early Edinburgh ventures. There
is a protest by the procurator of William Duncane in Wester Kinghorn
anent a contract for the delivery of certain goods.'^ He protested that,
by an act of the "court of the Water of Leith," a certain day had been
assigned to the procurator of other parties to prove that goods claimed

by them were due. The day being past, he pressed for judgment by
default in favour of his cHent. Apart from the question of trade, the
constitution of and relations with Edinburgh of the " court of the Water
of Leith " would be most interesting if more information were forth-
coming, for the exact position of the town of Leith as port and the
burgh was liable to be a subject of dispute. The use of the name " Water
of Leith Court " is unusual, for the words " Water of Leith " were used
generally of the buildings on the bank of that stream nearest the town,
those on the farther side being known as the village of Dean, but here it
obviously refers to the port of Leith. The other document, which,
unfortunately, is much defaced, gives fragments of a contract between
John and Nicholas David, described as Breton merchants and mariners,
and John of Dalrympill, bearing that, in return for certain merchandise,
he had to deliver twelve lasts of herring, packed in barrels. ^ Mention is
made of the " Laird of Lacht " as being concerned in the contract, and
of the lochs of the " wester sea," giving rise to the conjecture that the
herring may have been of the Loch Fyne variety. A certain Naper,
presumably one of the merchant family of that name, was surety for
payment.

A document of considerable interest is the one which gives one stage
in the recurring dispute between the magistrates as Sheriffs of the Burgh
and the Lord High Constable. ^ Dated the 30th July 1501, it gives the
settlement of a dispute between the parties. The Provost, bailies and
treasurer, with some of the influential neighbours, paid the Constable a
sum of money for their fault in withholding from him the Barras, or
tilting ground, beneath the Castle, and promised to uphold him in his
office of Constable in future. This last concession refers to the difficulty
touching the conflicting jurisdiction of the Constable and the Sheriffs
as to the offences committed in the burgh, which the magistrates claimed
by right of their charter from James III. in 1482.

By that charter the magistrates of the burgh were made judges in
criminal and civil cases, with the exception of the four pleas of the
Crown. But the Lord High Constable had jurisdiction in criminal cases
over a certain area round the place where the King might be in residence.
The Regiam Maiestatem, calling it the chamber of peace, gives it as two
leagues ; a MS. in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, quoted by Miss
1 No. 201. 2 No. 50.

Mary Bateson, gives it as twelve miles, but seems to exclude burgesses.
Professor Rait states that the Constable " asserted an exclusive juris-
diction, superseding that of the ordinary law courts, over certain criminal
ofEeuces committed within four miles of the royal presence or within
four miles of a meeting of Parliament in which the King was present, at
all events by commission.'' He also states that the claim was contested
by the burgh of Edinburgh, though its legality seems to have been ad-
mitted. The document recorded by Foular goes to prove that the magis-
trates of the early sixteenth century thought well to come to an agree-
ment with the Constable to act as his deputies in his jurisdiction. The
Burgh Court Book of 1507 shows that, when dealing with criminal
matters, the court was described as the Constabulary Court. In 1511,
the Town Council Minutes state that the Constable's Court was held by
the Provost and bailies. In 1515 they apparently tried the case of an
ofEence committed in " My Lord Governoris chalmer and palace of peace."
In 1520-21 an entry refers to the sum of 100 li. paid to the Constable for the
office of Constabulary-Depute. Some considerable importance appears
to have been attached to the transaction, for it was decided not only
by the Council, but by the community.

No settled arrangement was ever arrived at, and the matter was
still in dispute in the middle of the seventeenth century. Also, since
there are no books of records of criminal trials by the Magistrates till
1689, it is impossible to ascertain how far they ever exercised their
power.

In addition to recording the transfer of burghal property. John
Foular's book gives information about the Church and Church lands.
A considerable amount of land and annual rents from land were the
property either of the Collegiate Church of St Giles, of hospitals in the
town, or of ecclesiastics, held by virtue of their office or as private indi-
viduals. In the latter case, when the sasine concerned one of the regular
orders, the proceedings were carried through by permission of the Abbot
of the convent. Some of these entries are here noted briefly. Sir William
Fraynche, described as the curate of the Collegiate Church, received an
annual rent of 20 shillings resigned in his favour, in name of the Provost
and canons, for the celebration of an anniversary.^ The altar of the Gild
of the Hammermen, St Eligius or Eloi (the patron of smiths), received an

1 No. G.
xvi

annual rent of 16s. 8d., in trust to their master of the kirk-work, payable
from a land in the High Street.^ The allusion to the " waste land of St
Michael " points to an endowment to that altar in the church, ^ The
Magdalene land has been noted already. On the 20th November 1501
George Touris, Provost of Edinburgh, " charitably warned " the pre-
bendaries of St Giles to attend to their services due in the church accord-
ing to the foundation charter, under the pains which might be laid on
them by himself, the bailies and council of the burgh.^ That this may not
have been an empty threat can be seen from many of the charters of
donations of chaplainries, which particularise the number of absences from
duty which justify dismissal. One document narrates the resignation of
Mr Clement Currour, chaplain of the chaplainry of Pitravy, at the altar
of St Nicholas, by delivery of a ring.^ The Provost, bailies and council,
as patrons, gave a like office to Sir George Newton, and the Provost
went to the altar and gave him institution by delivery of the " horn of
the altar, book, chalice and vestments." The altar of St Sebastian
is mentioned as receiving the gift of certain lands. Mr William Foular,
who may have been a priest, resigned a land in Forester's Wynd to
support a chaplainry, not otherwise named, founded by himself. Sir
James Bigholme, chaplain, resigned the waste land on the east of the
cemetery of St Giles in favour of a brother chaplain, Sir Matthew Dowele,
with the stone chimney and other "easments" belonging to him.^ From
this it would seem as though the chaplains had their houses at the east
as well as at the west side of the cemetery, though, in later days, the
ministers' houses were at the west side in the place where the Parliament
House was built. Sir John Kynd, another chaplain, had land, as heir to
the late Henry Rynd, on the north side of the High Street, descending so
far as the North Loch.^ Except the last named, most of these lands prob-
ably belonged to the priests by virtue of their chaplainries.

There were, however, many churchmen, not belonging to Edin-
burgh religious foundations, who held property in the burgh, as well as
churches or convents. The altar of St Blaise in the parish church of
Haddington was endowed by its patron with a tenement in Edinburgh,
which was burdened with an annual rent payable to Sir William Cock-
burne of Scraling, Kt.'^ David, Abbot of Arbroath, owned a land in

Blackfriars' AVvnd, which he resigned in favour of Sir John Ogilvy of
Fingask, Kt.^; the Bishop of Dunkeld owned one on the north side of the
High Street.'- Robert Bhicater, canon of Glasgow, by his procurator,
Robert, Archbishop of Glasgow, resigned a " mansion " on the south side
of the same street.^ The Abbot of Cambuskenneth also owned land there,
as did the Archbishop of Glasgow.* Sir Thomas Flucare, chaplain, had
land in the town.^ Lands belonging to the Trinity College are noted
in such a way as to imply property in the burgh, not the actual buildings
of the College.^ Sir John Ramsay, monk regular of Newbottle, by per-
mission of his Lord Abbot, resigned a land on the Castle Hill, inherited
from his father, an Edinburgh burgess.''' Two documents note endow-
ments of the chaplainry founded by Mr Archibald Quhytlaw, Secretary
of the King, in the parish church of Curry.^ An instrument of resigna-
tion deals with the chaplainry of the altar of Our Lady of Pity and St
Nicholas in the parish church of Dunfermline.^ The chaplain of the altar
of the Holy Trinity in the parish church of Corstorphine, with consent of
his patron, Archibald Forester of Corstorphine, resigned his land, with
half of his garden, situated in the Grassmarket.^" The Abbot of Jedburgh
held land near the Kirk of Field Wynd, of which sasine was given to his
cousin and heir.^^ The sister and heir of Mr John Scot, rector of Rankil-
burne, inherited his land in the Kirk of Field Wynd.^^

One document records a gift ad pios usus. Sir William Talyfer,
chaplain of the monastery of the Holy Rood, resigned a merkland at the
head of St Mary's Wynd for the sustentation of a wax candle before the
Sacrament in the parish church of St Cuthbert, the gift being vested in
one of the masters of the fabric of the church. ^^

One entry records a proceeding which became a practice with the
clergy. The instance is the case of Sir Patrick Hall, chaplain of Halli-
burton, who set in tack to Adam Hepburne of the Crags and his tenants
his lands of i\Iervinstoun for three years for a payment of 20 li. a year.^'*
Not only the lesser clergy, but also the great convents like the Abbey of
Kelso, found increasing dilliculty in collecting their dues, and, for that

reason, gave tacks of their lands to the laity, who had more means of, or
possibly fewer scruples in, collecting dues by force.

As has been suggested already, persons, not inhabitants of the
burgh, took advantage of their stay in the capital to register deeds of
various kinds with the Edinburgh Notaries. Some of these seem worthy
of note.

An inserted page, dated 1496, possibly from a missing book,
narrated that Mr Richard Lauson, Sheriff of Perth, created certain
officers to serve a brieve of inquest of the Chancery.^

Sasines, resignations and agreements were recorded for places as
distant as Rothomay, Drumry in the county of Lennox, the lands of
Dunbug and Contrahillis in the barony of Balinbreich, Keirhill in the
barony of Ratho, Little Lochquhorwort and Hakbra in the barony of
Creichton, Blackbarony in the Sherifidom of Peebles, and Scraling in the
same sherifidom, in favour of persons not belonging to the town, such as
Sir William Preston of Bynning, Kt. ; Robert Menzies of that Ilk ;
William, Lord Carlile ; Hugh, Lord Montgomery ; Sir Robert Levingston
of Drumry, Kt., whose superior was the Earl of Lennox ; Adam Creichton
of Rothendavy, Kt., whose superior was the Earl of Rothes ; William,
Lord Borthwick, and his sons, the Master of Borthwick and Alexander
Creichton ; Sir James Creichton of Frendraucht ; George, Lord Setoun,
and many others.

A curious contract was recorded by Foular on the 21st February
1502-3, between Archibald, Earl of Argyll, and Ninian M'Culloch of
Cardones.'^ By the terms thereof M'Culloch was bound to go to the Earl
in the island of Bute before Pentecost of that year, taking with him
certain moneys. A reckoning was to be made between them, in accord-
ance with a royal summons, of the money claimed by the Earl according
to the obligation made by the late father of Ninian. If he was found to
owe the Earl anything, he was to make payment there, if not, he might
carry back his money in safety. Though that is the end of the story,
it may be permissible to wonder how much money M'Culloch, so far from
home, was allowed to bring back.

Since the work of a notary required the recording of all deeds

drawn by him in his Protocol Book, although in later years these tended

largely to refer to transactions concerning land, Foular's book contains

1 No. 18. 2 No. 205.

xtx

documents referring to criminal cases. One concerned the protest of
William Vaiche of Kingiside, who appeared at the Tolbooth for trial
before the King's Justiciar for the murder of Guido Ewart.^ Neither the
Justiciar, his deputy, nor the prosecutors being present, Vaiche took
instruments that he had appeared and that his caution, John Murray
of AtUekliill, should be free of his caution. On the same day John
Gillaspy protested that the non-compearance of Donald Crum to answer
for the mm-der of Thomas Gillaspy, his father, should not prejudice his
case.^

Another criminal case is noted on the 27th July 1503, when, in
presence of the King and his Justiciar, Lord Gray, for the pmsuer, for
the slaughter of Andrew Tynto, declared John Charteris, grandson of
Robert Charteris of Amysfield, to be innocent and that he was not
willing to prosecute.^

One of the few entries in Scots is also interesting. Jonet Stewart,
wife of Stevin Duddingston of Sandfurde, fearing compidsion to re-
noimce a heritage to which she was to succeed, protested that whatever
she might do might not prejudice her or her heirs, " and hereupon,
Schir notar, I aske at you ane Instrument, and this writt to be insert
therein." Her sister, Cristine Stewart, wife of Edward Bruce of
Kynnaird, protested in the same form."*

These are only a few extracts from a collection of cases, but they
show the matters with which John Foular was called upon to deal. A part
of the interest lies in the fact that it is only the earlier books in which
so great a variety is found. This was due probably to a better and more
systematic arrangement, but does deprive the later records of the charm
of unexpectedness.
