In Tolquhoun's suspension against Adam Urquhart of Meldrum, the Lords, upon Newton's report, found that Tolquhoun was wrongously imprisoned upon a caption containing teind duties from 1665; whereas, before the executing the caption, Meldrum had past from ten of these years, and restricted to 1675 and subsequent years: but it not being so restricted at the time of his imprisonment, but by the jailer's books it appearing to have proceeded for the whole, the Lords ordained him to be set at liberty.
