The Lords having this day advised the process against James Dunbar, messenger, for paying the debt, because he had suffered the Earl of Morton to escape, (vide 27th November 1677;) The Lords assoilyied the said James; because George Drummond, the employer, being present with the messenger, did not bring halbardiers, from the town's-guard, to assist the messenger, which he might have done, being within the Town of Edinburgh, and at the cross, so near to the court of guard.
