Agnes Campbell, relict of Andrew Anderson, printer to his Majesty, having charged Patrick Ramsay and John Reid, upon their bonds, to return and serve her:
The Lords found, by the agreement betwixt the parties, the suspenders could not set up a printing-house of their own, and fulfil likewise the obligements of the said agreement; unless the suspenders will offer to prove it was so communed and agreed upon, that the suspenders might, notwithstanding of the foresaid obligement, go loose, or set up a printing-house of their own; which the Lords find relevant to be proven by the charger's oath; and that she be examined in presence of any persons the suspenders shall bring thither: but would not take a probation contrary to the written agreement; though by privy councillors, who, on her soliciting them, heard her declare those that were apprentices were free to set up for themselves.
