The Lords found Mackbirny's taking decreets against the tenants, after advocations and tabling the cause before them, and his uplifting the rents, which he alleged could be 110 riot, being auctoritate judicis, was a contempt of their authority; and, therefore, ordained him to restore the rents to the other party, and fined him in £100 Scots to the poor.
