The corns of three baronies belonging to the Earl being in June 1733 destroyed by a thunder storm of hail so that the produce of the crop in most of them was not sufficient
to pay the seed and expense of labour, and in none of them exceeded the seed and expense, if not in a trifle; the Lords found none of the tenants liable for any rents for that year that they have proved that the produce did not exceed the expense of seed and labour or thereabouts. And in respect the millers did not recover so much multures as to defray the necessary charges of the mill and servants find them liable in no rent.
