This day two appeals or protestations for remeid of law to the Parliament were given in. The first was by Robert Douglas, in the name of the Earl of Morton, his brother, against Sir William Bruce of Kinross, about his decreet of declarator of his irredeemable right to the lands of Aberdour and Smithfield; though the Lords had declared the same purgeable by payment of his debt any time betwixt and Whitsunday 1699.
The second was by one Mitchell of Braehead, against Boswal of Auchinleck, about the lands of Bogwood, wherein Mitchell pretended the benefit of a possessory judgment, which the Lords had repelled, together with the adminicles adduced by him for proving the tenor of a disposition which Mitchel alleged was lost during the late siege of Londonderry in Ireland.
