JO PREFATORY NOTICE.
The same vigilance and energy appear to have characterized
the proceedings of the Privy Council, in respect of remoter
Districts of the Highlands, and other disturbers of the peace.
It is hoped that the Extracts now given, will be found to pos-
sess some interest, as throwing light on the internal state of
the Country of Scotland at the union of the Crowns, and mark-

for the feudal or patriarchal usages, and petty but incessant
commotions which had so long disfigured its history.
