An appeal was given in by Sir Robert Dickson of Inveresk against an interloctutor, decerning him in £2900 sterling, as Sir John Houston and his brother's proportion and share of the profits of the tack of the customs, wherein they were partners, from 1691 to 1696.
Sir Robert craved allowance for his pains and trouble in managing; as also, that Sir John should pay annualrent for the money he retained in his hand, as Collector at Port-Glasgow, conform to the Acts of Sederunt made in their society; both which the Lords had refused.
