Mr M'Kay of Scotstown claimed at Michaelmas 1795 to be enrolled a freeholder in Sutherlandshire, and produced, as his titles, a charter and sasine of certain lands, which are there said to be contained in two contracts of wadset; but the claim did not specify whether Mr M'Kay claimed as wadsetter or proprietor, nor were the contracts of wadset produced to the meeting. This, among many other objections, having been stated, the freeholders refused to enrol Mr M'Kay, who thereupon complained to the Court of Session; and after advising the complaint, with answers, replies, and duplies, the Court ordered Mr M'Kay to be added to the roll. A reclaiming petition was refused, without answers, 9th March.
