In a process, betwixt Haig of Bimersyde and Sir Patrick Scot of Ancrum, about their proportion of cess and teinds, there was an unwarrantable addition made to the interlocutor of the Lord Arbruchell, Ordinary in the cause, by John Blair, one of the servants in Mr James Dalrymple's chamber; and he being called, and acknowledging he did it by order of one John Scot, an extractor there;—the Lords, finding it mali exempli, they fined Blair only in five dollars, his being but an act of ignorance, and Scot in fifteen dollars to the poor, and sent him to prison, in the meantime, as more guilty.
