The Bishop of Orkney pursues the Laird of Copmalundy for the prices of certain rental-bolls of teinds addebted to the Bishop by pension. The defender alleges that he ought not to pay but four pounds and four pennies for the boll of that year libelled, because the Bishop has written to the minister of Tibbormuire, requesting him to take no more from Copmalundy for that year's teind-bolls nor he was minded to take from him: viz. four pounds and forty pennies. To the which it was answered, That this missive letter, written to another man in favours of Copmalundy, could not oblige the Bishop to Copmalundy. The Lords repelled the exception founded upon the missive.
