In the suspension raised by the Bailies of Queensferrie against Samuel Wilsone, charger,—the Lords found the reason of compensation relevant, notwithstanding the charger alleged, that he was not their burgess, but they had most maliciously riven his burgess ticket, and so ought not to be stented by them; because the act whereupon the stent-roll, verifying the compensation, did proceed, although it be posterior long to the second suspension, purchased upon assignation, was, in the 1636 or 1637, subscribed by the charger, with many others; he being then a chief actor, for the relief of the debt then contracted
in opposing them who strove to hinder the town to be made a burgh-royal. And so the Lords ordained so meikle to be given up again to the consigners, and the rest to the charger; and so suspended the letters, if he had no farther to say against the justness and quantity of the debt, or his portion contained in the stent-roll.
