The lands of Easter-Leyes, and mill thereof, with the astricted and free multures, being wadset by Lord Lovat in 1629, and Wester-Leyes, and Mid-Leyes, feued out cum molendinis et multuris in thetenendas, in 1641, and the reversion of the mill renounced in 1661; the possessors of Wester and Mid-Leyes constantly frequented the mill, and paid the 13th cum of multures till 1716, that the heritors threatened to leave the mill, and then it was reduced to the 16th curn, and the heritor was permitted to put in or keep in the millboy, though the miller inclined to another, and they never paid any services of any kind. These lands and mill appeared to be part of the barony of Dalcross, which lay at several miles distance, and it was said there were several other mills in the neighbourhood of these lands, whose outsucken multures, as well as the outsucken multures of the mill of Leys, was only the 32d part, or the half of what those lands paid at this mill. The Lords found these things sufficient to astrict these lands, (me quidem renitente.)— 28th July, Adhered, and I altered my opinion.
