Major James Wood, in Edinburgh, against Murray of Dunnipace, or Spot, reported by Pitmedden. The Lords, before answer, ordain their procurators to condescend on the parties' communers at the transaction anent the absolute disposition of the land of Spot to Murray the suspender; and ordain them, and the witnesses inserted in the disposition, to be examined what was tractatum between the parties, in relation to this matter. And ordain the Lord Reporter to hear the parties' procurators upon this point, anent Wood, Bishop of Caithness, filling up of the blank in the bond. As also, recommend to him and Lord Drumcairn, in the mean time, to endeavour to settle the parties. Who agreed them on a sum.
It is not to be presumed that the bishop, by his consent to the second disposition, designed to prejudge himself and his daughter of what was formerly provided to him by the former laird of Spot.
