Mr George Clark minister at Aberdour charged Elspeth Brown, and Ramsay her son to remove upon his designation. They suspended; ratio, because out of their lands holden of the King, there was designed a sufficient manse and glebe before, in David Howison's time, of 4 acres, quilk he bruicked during his service at the kirk, and so has Mr George since his entry. Alleged, oppones the designations. Answered, eiks in fortification of the reason, That Mr George has bruicked the manse and glebe libelled 24 years, and there is full 4 acres, and the manse and glebe which he possesses is more ewest than the designation. Admit the reason, and reply to probation.
Clerk, Durie.
