The Lords thought that part of his oath, whereby he swore he was a partner in the bargain of victual with Bailie Arbuthnot, would have been an intrinsic quality, and would have needed no other probation, had there not been a prior declaration that this victual belonged to the said Bailie, which was cancelled, and that the inventory made by the tutors of Bailie Arbuthnot's children bore he acknowledged so much thereby; and so they ordained him to be examined, ex officio, upon the tenor of the said declaration, whereof there was an attested double yet extant.
