Sir William Fleming, Commissary of Glasgow, pursued a declarator against one Zair, his clerk, to hear and see it found and declared, that by the instructions given to the commissaries in anno 1666, the profits of all summons, sentences, transumpts, registrations, confirmations of the seal and signet, and all other such benefit, shall be divided thus, two parts to the commissaries, and one third part to the clerk.
The Lords declared conform to the instructions.
Which decision has awakened the commissaries of Edinburgh to fly to and get the like; and they imagine it will be 1000 merks a year in their ways, because at present their clerk gets more than they get all.
