Supra, at number 500, and 501, in October 1676, I have made a small collection of law observations, I had dispersed up and down in other paper-books, and pointed at the places where they lie, that it may serve for a ready direction; like the names affixed to the apothecaries' pigs and boxes. In prosecution of that method, I shall here shew where my extraneous law remarks, not contained in thir sheets, and may be called extravagantes communes, since that time, are, it being the space of a year. They are contained in a manuscript book, which begins with
The qualifications requisite in electing Commissioners to the Parliament. 2do, If bills of exchange bear annual rent after accepted. 3tio, Anent the link between disturbances in Church and State. 4to, From Bouritius de officio judicis. 5to, Some satire lines. 6to, Anent arresting boats. 7mo, Anent charters of lands in the Canongate. 8vo, Anent Sinclair's Practiques, and Nicolsone's, and Durie's, and Colvill's. 9no, A summary compend of my other law observations. 10mo, From Skeen in Regiam Majestatem et Leges Burgorum. 11mo, Anent suffocation of monstrous births. 12mo, Anent burnt tenements. 13tio, Anent the action flowing from an infeftment of annual rent. 14to, Anent the encroachments of Secret-Council and Exchequer, on the Session and criminal Court. 15to, Anent women being witnesses. 16to, Anent macers' qualifications, and the hours of the Lords' sitting. 17mo, Anent a clause in a feu of some lands in Douglas. 18vo, Anent the town of Edinburgh; anent festival days; the Lords' varying decisions; sundry ridiculous things in our acts of Parliament; a compend of Aberdeen's charter in 1638; anent arbitrations; anent the clerk of the bills his being liable for the cautioners he receives; anent the King's advocate's pursuing improbations alone; anent inverting pious donations; anent the true crisis of a process; and an infinite number of other observations that are to be seen in that book; to which I refer, it being sufficient to have hinted at a few of them.
