In the action of reduction of the Earl of Marr against Vassals, alleged by one Duguid of Auchinhove, That he and his predecessors had been infeft in his lands holding by the King, for the space of 200 years, which lands were designed to lie in the sheriffdom of Aberdeen only, but not within the earldom of Marr, or Lordship of Garioch; replied, He offered to prove them parts and pendicles of the earldom of Marr; which reply the Lords sustained to be proven by public and authentic writs and evidents, with this declaration, That for proving thereof, they would not think the Exchequer rolls sufficient alone, except the pursuer proved it by other evidents beside.
