The Earl of Tweeddale gives in a petition against the Earl of Lauderdale and Sir William Sharp, craving Sir William may be ordained to produce his tack of the late Duke of Lauderdale's estate, by sight whereof, it would appear that the years of the said tack were expired; and medio tempore craved a sequestration of the maills and duties of the lands.
The Lords called for Sir William, and having looked to the tack, and finding it was set aye and while the Duke's debts wherein Sir William stood cautioner, were paid; they gave it back, without allowing Tweeddale a sight of it; and found, Sir William not being now a member of the Session, he could not be summarily convened hoc or dine; and refused to sequestrate the rents.
