Hamilton having after many attempts and long courtship debauched Linnen his cousin-german and got her with child, the Commissaries decerned him in L.500 damages; and an advocation being reported to us, the Lords found damages due, renit. President and Drummore, but restricted the sum to L.200 sterling besides expenses of process. We all agreed to restrict, because he was only presumptive heir to an estate, his father living.
