Walter Scot of Howpaflot allowed to compound for treafonably
bringing in William Scot, called Gyde, John his brother, and other Traitors of
Levyn, to the ' Herefchip' of Harehede : Item, for theftuoufly and treafonably
Refetting of Henry Scot, and other Traitors of Levyn : Item, for the treafon-
' Je(lbuif;h. ^ Andrew. ' These were likely to be ten score ' paces' or ' Nobillis
of paifs,' English gold coins or Nobles, which are frequently mentioned in our old Acts of Parlia-
ment. The terra pace seems to have reference to their weiglit, q. d. Heavy Nobles, Nobles of weight.
Although found in the Kirk of Minto, there is no reason to suppose they were Pace or iTirMter- offer-
ings. There is no doubt that this pofe was ' treafure-trove,' accidentally turned up and concealed by
Sinclare ; and as such it belonged to the King ; who, on the other hand, could have had no claim to
pious Easter-oflFerings, made in grateful remembrance of the Resurrection. See also Nov. 9, 1502.
