The Duchess of Lauderdale gives in a bill against Sir William Sharp of Stonyhill, in regard of his sickness, craving he might be examined anent the having sundry papers belonging to the deceased Duke of Lauderdale, her husband, and consequently to her as deriving right from him, relating to the lands he had disponed to her, or to that apprising of Anderson of Hills, with which this Earl of Lauderdale clothed himself against the Duchess, that she might try if it was paid or not; and my Lord Kemnay was appointed to go and examine him.
Before advising his oath, Sir William Sharp died; but the Lords, on the Duchess's application, on the 29th January 1686, granted a sequestration of all Sir William's cabinets and papers, that the writs relating to her right from her husband might be inspected.
