The Lords, on Saline's report, modified twelve bolls of victual to the pursuers, for the year 1682, as an aliment which their father was in possession of during his lifetime, as the excrescent duties of the lands more than paid Irvine the annualrent of his wadset money. But the Lords declared, if the said two pursuers did not bring their count and reckoning to a close within a twelvemonth, they would not continue the said aliment to them any longer.
Then it was controverted, whether the boll should be Linlithgow measure, which is the common standard for the whole kingdom; or Galloway, where the wadset lands lie, and is much larger than the Linlithgow.—It will clear it much, which of the two was paid to their father.
