At Privy Council, John Brown of Nunlands is assoilyied from John Martin's pursuit, for having acted as bailie of regality of under my Lord Nithsdale, his constituent, who had not taken the test; seeing he had taken it himself, and had a gift of the place ad vitam et culpam from him. He was also quarrelled for finding him guilty of the theft of some dozens of apples. Though we say de minimis non curat lex, yet justitia non consistit in quantitate.
