Only five freeholders in Fifeshire having constituted themselves into a meeting for revising rolls, a complaint against them for refusing to enrol a free
holder was found competent. His claim was as a 40 shilling land of old extent which he proved by charters and precepts of elare from subject-superiors in 1602 and 1609; but it appearing that in 1613, after two of these writs, these lands were extended jointly with other lands to L.4, so that there had been then no division nor separate extent;—that was found no sufficient evidence of the old extent, and the complaint was refused.
