The Lords found that the horse whereupon umquhile Thomas Bullock, servitor to James ————, of Durham, ran in the water of Aven and was drowned, was not escheat to our sovereign lord; because, by an inquest taken before the sheriff of Linlithgow, by command of the Lords of Council, it was found that the said Thomas forced the horse with spurs to take the water, and through his own folly and rashness was drowned; and not the horse's fault. And therefore decerned the horse to the said James ————; of Durham.
