Robert Hamilton of Stravithie having comprised the lands of Kinkell, to be holden of Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall, superior thereof: Afterwards he found that Craighall was denuded of the superiority before his comprising; and therefore, lest his comprising should be null and ineffectual, he gave in a supplication to the Lords, craving, that, by their warrant, he might have letters to charge the Bishop of St Andrew's, next immediate superior of these lands, to infeft him therein, as if he had comprised them in the beginning to be holden of the Bishop. Which the Lords granted.
