Sir Andrew Balfour, Doctor of Medicine, against Watson of Etherny. This was a count and reckoning about the profits of a Caper, and the prize ships taken by her. The charge being constitute, and the expenses wared out on the Caper, and their loss by its being taken by the Hollanders, being proven only by one witness; the Lords inclined to think it probative now, after so long a time, he having been book-keeper and a common servant and trustee to them both.
