Mr William Murray, advocate, having offered to discover, ad levamen et exonerationem conscientiæ, that he knew his brother, the tutor of Stormonth, had bribed and suborned witnesses in Annandale and Sir Robert Crichton's affair; the Lords, in regard he was not able to come abroad through indisposition of his feet, ordained three or four of their own number to go to his chamber, and examine him ex officio thereupon: but thereafter John Murray, the tutor, having assured the Lords that he was hypochondriac and melancholy, they appointed him first to be visited as to the condition of his health and temper of his body; and he was found to be furious and deeply melancholic.
