John Howison having pursued the Lady Laurieston for L. 63 for meal and malt furnished to her in her husband's time, when he was absent at Court; the Lords would not burden her with the payment of it, although it was for provisions to her house; and albeit it was alleged that she had a factory from her husband in the time, giving her power to uplift his rents, pay his debts, and transact therefor, and generally to do all his business.
