Cunningham of Ballindalloch complained that they refused to enrol him. The objection was, that he had no sufficient proof of the valuation of his lands. Answered, They stand valued in the Collector's books L,437.; they are valued the same in the valuation books in Exchequer 1691; and there is no original valuation or book authenticated by the Commissioners extant. The freeholders produced an old tattered book, which they said was the Cess-book 1687, but signed by nobody, wherein these lands are stated as valued jointly or in cumulo with other lands, and said that there appeared no legal division of them since. The Court ordered him to be enrolled. (See Dict. No. 7. p. 2436.).
