Boswell of Balmuto's case was debated. He being patron of Achterdiran kirk, and having taken L.1000 Scots from one Mr John Wood, for presenting him, on the death of Mr Thomas Kininmonth, the last minister, under the pretext of giving him liberty of dwelling in the manse, which was said to be the patron's own house: this was complained upon by a bill, 1mo, as velata et palliata Simonia; 2do, That the manse was the minister's, and was no more the patron's than all the rest of the heritors' who contributed to build it.
