Upon a complaint of subornation of perjury for the said Barbara against Newlands and Roy, the Lords having given summary warrant to apprehend, on which Roy was taken, but Newlands not being bound, they granted warrant to charge him to compear before them under the pain of Rebellion and putting him to the horn;—and now a petition in his name and his factor's complaining of that order as unprecedented and even beyond our power and craving to be heard, being presented, the Lords called the cause, heard the parties what further they had to say, and then refused the bill.
