Mr John Chisholm, parson of Leslie, having obtained certification, in a reduction
and improbation, against the Earl of Roxburgh, of rights of some lands annexed to the parsonage of Leslie,—the Earl raised reduction of that certification upon this ground, That he was minor; and his tutors and curators had not recovered his writs after his father's sudden death. The Lords, before answer, ordained the Earl to condescend upon the writs he would make use of in the reduction, and debate upon them; and declared, That if he was found to have the preferable right, the Lords would recal or reduce the certification.
