Mr William Wood, minister, against Thomson of Dininno, for the teinds: and the tenant having been holden as confessed on the rental in his former master's time, the Lords did now repone him to his oath against it. And, as for the crop 1693, the Lords would not decern for that year's stipend, because he was deposed by the presbytery in April that year; and, though the sentence was only in absence, and for contumacy, and he had appealed, and it was not yet discussed, (though he had not applied to bring it into the last Assembly, and so must be presumed to have deserted it,) and that these appeals did not stop execution, yet the Lords were unwilling to meddle with the ecclesiastic sentence; and, therefore, suspended the letters, not simply, but aye and until he should get himself reponed against that sentence of deprivation.
