The Lords this day readvised the testimony of the witnesses adduced in John Marishall's cause against James Scot, and adhered to their former sentence, and found the contravention of the lawborrows fully proven; and that Scot's son was then in familia with his father, and was not merely making a visit to him. But, in respect Scot is not a freeholder, but only a feuar, they restricted the 1000 merks decerned for, to 500 merks, which is the only pains of contravening lawborrows imposed by the [act] 1593, c. 166.
