Sir James Stewart, Provost, being pursued by the Earl of Crawford to count for his intromission with the public monies; he obtruded the act of indemnity in anno 1661, whereby all men are discharged of all actions, crimes, &c. except usury, and such who meddled with the public monies, and who had not counted therefore, nor were discharged by the pretended authority for the time. But so it is, alleged Sir James, he had counted with the usurpers already, &c.
The Lords of Exchequer found the act of Parliament did not defend him.
