Crown, and especially those of the Earldom of
Strathern, he was persuaded that his Lordship
would do nothing therein without first acquaint-
ing His Majesty.
The Earl expressed himself satisfied with Sir
Thomas Hope's opinion ; declared that he
would " shun all contestation" with His Majesty

Strathern granted to Earl David and his heh\s
