In Andrew Ramsay's business about the sale of the Bass to his Majesty, the King's Advocate was induced to attest the disposition made by the Provost to his Majesty of that Isle, to be a sufficient security, and that the Provost had a valid and good right thereto under his hand; though he alleged it was a thing no King's Advocate ever before him had been in use to do, yet he would say nothing verbally save what he would also give under his hand.
