Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Alexander [Gordon], viscount of Kenmure, showing that the petitioner is cited to compear before the said lords at the instance of Margaret Rasper upon the pretence of a riot allegedly committed by the petitioner’s chamberlain at the petitioner’s direction, and seeing the petitioner is distressed by several creditors who have taken out diligences against him for clothes and other necessaries furnished to his regement for want of his bygone arrears so that he cannot be in toto to appear before their lordships when he comes here, or after his coming to stay to make my just and legal defences, and thereafter to return in safety home without their lordships’ warrant, which in this case is most just and ordinary, and therefore craving to the effect underwritten as the said petition bears. The saids lords of their majesties’ privy council having considered this petition given in to them by the above Alexander [Gordon], viscount of Kenmure, they hereby discharge all messengers at arms, officers within burgh and others to put to execution any letters of caption or acts of warding against the petitioner until the second day of March inclusive, excepting always their majesties’ debts or public dues.
