The Lords, upon a bill, and Drumcairn's report, modified to the Lady Balgon, relict of Sir David Dunbar of Baldune, 2500 merks, for her mournings, and aliment of the family, from the 12th of December last, when he died, to Whitsunday next, allowing in the fore-end what she has got already.
Vol. I. Page 448.
Duke Hamilton, whose son was married to Baldune's grandchild, stormed at this; and craved deduction for what provisions were laid in the family at his decease, she having none but two servants to maintain. Her grandson, Sir George Suty, obtained this from Castlehill, his father-in-law.
