It was objected against Lamb of Brigtown, one of the witnesses led by her, that Lawriston her nephew had been sounding him what he could say; and Lamb confessed that Lawriston had asked him what he knew anent that bond which was quarrelled by Arbuthnot, and what he could depone thereabout. And he having confessed all this, and it being reported to the Lords, they “found, since there was no good deed nor promise of it, the objection ought not to cast him from being a witness.”
