Act Mr Alexander Williamson for stipend

Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Mr Alexander Williamson, late Minister at Tulliallan, showing that where by an act of parliament in 1690 all the Presbyterian ministers that had been outed in 1662 were thereby restored to their charges, amongst whom the petitioner’s church was one wherein Mr John Forest was then minister, and the petitioner having served the cure for the whole year 1689, the act of parliament did allow his predecessor the one half of that year for which the petitioner served. And now seeing Mr John Forest is now with his own consent transported to the church of Falkland and was installed in that Charge preceding Whitsunday last, by which the kirk of Tulliallan is vacant and the stipend thereof for the year 1691 at least the half thereof is uncontroverted and that the petitioner was debarred for the half year’s stipend wherein he served the cure in 1689 by the act of parliament. It is humbly craved from their lordships’ justice that they will allow the petitioner the half year’s vacant stipend due by the patron and heritors who will not controvert the petitioner’s right thereto as the patron’s consent produced with the said petition has testified, and therefore craving to the effect underwritten as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council having considered this petition given in to them be the above Mr Alexander Williamson, with the consent mentioned therein and produced therewith, they hereby allow to the petitioner the stipend of the above kirk of Tulliallan for the last half of the crop and year of God 1691, and ordain him to be readily answered, obeyed, and paid thereof by the heritors, feuers, wadsetters, liferenters, fermerers, titulars, tacksmen of teinds, tenants, possessors, and others liable in payment of the said stipend for the said half year.
