February 21.—Gray of Crigie gives in a bill against the Earl of Lauderdale, craving, in regard he would not produce the disposition called for, but suffered certification to pass against it; that therefore the Lords would examine his witnesses on Lauderdale's deeds of concussion and oppression, in dispossessing the Lord Gray, his author, out of Benby, and other lands, without a right, to lie in retentis, ad futuram rei memoriam.
The Lords ordained them to be received, he condescending on them.
Then Crigie gave in a new bill, craving liberty to add extrinsic grounds of Lauderdale's concussing others, as he had done against my Lord Aberdeen; et quod quisque juris in alium statuerit, æquum est ut ipse eodem utatur. Vide 6th March 1685.

March 6.—John Gray of Crigie's reduction against Lord Lauderdale, on concussion, mentioned 24-th February 1685, is reported by the Register; and the Lords gave just the like interlocutor here as they gave in Lord Lauderdale's reduction against Aberdeen, allowing a conjunct probation: Crigie, to prove the dispossessing him, and keeping up his papers till he ended; and Lauderdale, to prove that he entered by virtue of a right, and gave an adequate price.
