Mersington offered to report the Earl of Roxburgh against some of his feuars of Midlum and Cordon: but the Lords, without deciding it, recommended it to agreement; for they thought it unreasonable, that the superior, at his own hand, without his vassal's consent, should, in his baron court, convert their carriages to money, there being no such liquidation nor conversion in their charters; and these not being due but yearly si petantur; though their feus wanted that clause.
