Mr James Hunter, treasurer to the Faculty of Advocates, having charged Mr David Douglas, advocate, to pay 500 merks yet resting of his entry-money, as coming in by a bill without examination, (for he had paid the other 500 merks;) he gave in a bill of suspension to the Lords, pretending the act for 1000 merks had never yet taken effect, and was but ad terrorem; and he would rather resign his gown, having but small employment.
The Lords stopped execution against him till the 1st of June.
