In a proving of the tenor of a deed, Dr Scott set furth, by petition, that John Brown, in the parish of Monigoff, was a necessary witness; but, as appeared from regular certificates, that through age and infirmities he was unable to appear in Court, as all witnesses in the proving of tenors ought regularly to do; and therefore, the petitioner prayed for a commission in order to his being examined at his place of residence in the country.
On the 24th January 1787, “The Lords, accordingly, granted commission to the Stewart-depute of Kircudbright, and to two Justices of the Peace of the said stewartry.”
For the petitioner, Robert Corbett.
