The minister of Fergundenny having charged the heritors of the parish for
payment of the sum of £2000, expended for reparation of his manse, there was suspension raised upon this reason,—That, by the 20th Act of the 3d session of the late Parliament, it is ordained that ministers' manses should be repaired during the vacancy of the kirk out of the vacant stipend wherewith the charged had intromitted before his admission. The letters were found orderly proceeded, notwithstanding of this reason: because the minister being presented to the whole stipend due thereafter, and having actually served the cure at the said kirk until he was admitted, the Lords did find, That his admission ought to be drawn back to the date of his presentation.
