Mr. David Watson, preacher of the gospel, against David Miln in Achinblae. The Lords found it an atrocious injury to slander a minister, by calling him in all companies a thief; and therefore sustained the decreet, both as to the palinodia and recantation, and as to the L.100 of fine, unless he prove, that the procurator's compearance for him was officious, and that he was lying sick at the time. But on a bill given in by Miln, the Lords granted warrant for transmitting the probation from the commissary of St. Andrews, in regard sundry nullities were condescended on.
