In the suspension at John Doue of Arin his instance against Mr Edward Drummond, some time minister of Calendar, at Monteith, charger, for six bolls victual, contained in the decreet of the plat 1618, for crop 1639, &c.;—the reason is, that, notwithstanding the said decreet, his predecessor gave more than three bolls; and respect cannot be had to that decreet, where the Bishop of Dumblane, being one of his kirks, provided the minister serving that cure to twenty-four bolls, payable for the teind of that town, whereof thir lands are a fourth part, where nought was due but twelve bolls, in doubling that which was due upon the heritors, who were not called, that he might provide the minister with less deduction and prejudice to his own rent. Which the Lords did sustain; yet warned him to go before the committee of the teinds.
