The Keeper of the Register of Sasines at Ayr, having notified his resolution to raise the fees of registration, rather according to the value of the subject in the sasine, than the length and quantity of writing, the writers at Ayr remonstrated against it, but in vain ; whereupon, in March last, they petitioned the Court: and answers having been given in for the keeper of the register, wherein he past from his intention, and agreed that the fees should be continued as formerly, the Lords ordained that it should be so, and gave the expense of the application.
They seemed inclined to have done so, whether the keeper had consented or not.
