Robert Rae and Robert Porteous, pursuing the Earl of Murray upon his bond of 840 merks, for wainscot, dated in December 1643, not payable till February 1644;—there is a discharge, granted in January 1644, obtruded by the Earl; which his servant, Mr David Stewart, purchases, bearing him to have paid 80 merks for 100 deals, which the granter confesses satisfied, and all other timber coft by the said Earl. But the Lords did not think that the word timber would comprehend the wainscot, but that the bond should specify discharged or redelivered, since it contained a great sum, and the sum contained in the discharge which was received was but very mean.
