At the Commission for Plantation of Kirks, the Earl of Haddington's Tutors pursue a reduction against Mr Walter Rigg, minister at Athelstanford, of a decreet of augmentation obtained by his predecessor in 1649 and 1650, in regard Mr William Carmichael, the last minister, consented in 1674 to take the cure, but to exact no stipend out of these lands, because they paid already to the minister of Haddington.
The Lords of the Commission found that his consent was but personal, and could not prejudge the church nor the successors; and therefore decerned for the augmentation.
