Catharine Mackay being to be served heir to her father, in some lands in Argyleshire; because there was no Sheriff there to give her infeftment, the Lords, by their deliverance on a bill, ordained the Director of the Chancery to issue brieves to the Commissary of Argyle, to supply the Sheriff's place. Queer. if it must be under the quarter seal. The macers would have been more proper to the service: but that way was dearer than to do it at home.
