The sequel of this case is also reported by Stair:
1665. July 29.
This day report being made concerning the cruives of Don, The Lords found, that there was no necessity to keep always open a mid-stream, notwithstanding the several acts of Parliament made thereanent; which, upon inquiry through the kingdom, they found to be in desuetude, and especially in these cruives, to be made past memory, with Saturday's slop only, and ordained the distance of the hecks to be three inches Scots measure, whereof 27 make an ell.
