!>■■
Lord Amont and the Earl of Aboyn have appealed from
the Lords of Council and Session to the King and Parlia¬
ment (5 Feb. 1674). This being unusual, the Lords asked
the advocates on oath whether they had advised these
.appeals. Instead of answering the advocates appealed to
the King. Their statement was unreasonable and likely to
cause jealousy against the Lords of Session. Quotes statutes
of James II and James V. By royal letter (19 May) the
Lords of Session were confirmed, and an opportunity
offered to the advocates to withdraw these appeals on pain
of disbarring. On 4 July, on their refusal, forty more
advocates left the house. None of these advocates are to
be within twelve miles of Edinburgh till they give satisfac¬
tion. The advocates who have remained are to be encour¬
aged. Those who do not apply to make satisfaction before
28 January next will never be readmitted.
