The Lords advised the probation of Crawfurd of Morquhany's damages in his sub-tack of the shire of Fife's excise, mentioned 2d July 1696, and found, It was not so notable as to afford him an abatement of his tack-duty, seeing it did not amount to the fourth or fifth part of the tack-duty; and this loss might be compensed by what he gained in former years.
