Captain Murray Confined to Edinburgh

Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Captain James Murray, brother to Sir David Murray of Stenhope, showing that whereas their lordships were pleased formerly by their deliverance on a petition given in upon the twenty first of April last to allow the petitioner, after so long a restraint, the liberty of travelling abroad about his lawful affairs without confinement to any particular place upon sufficient caution found to live peaceably, and with all submission to the present government, and likewise to return to Edinburgh between and the first Thursday of July therefore, and the petitioner not having in the Least transgressed or contravened the said bond and having returned punctually at the time above written prefixed to the town of Edinburgh, and seeing the petitioner’s affairs do necessarily call him as yet to the country, and a residence at Edinburgh being very expensive to one who has little or no fortune to maintain the expenses thereof, and therefore craving that the said lords would be pleased to allow the petitioner a further liberty to repair to the country upon the former terms, as the said petition bears. The said Lords of their majesties privy council having considered this petition given in to them by the above Captain James Murray, they hereby confine the petitioner to the city of Edinburgh and suburbs thereof, and discharges him to go furth of the same, and appoints the Captain of the town of Edinburgh’s company of guards, to set a sentinel upon the petitioner and allows him to go abroad within the said city of Edinburgh and suburbs, under the guard of the said sentinel, the petitioner first finding sufficient caution acted in the books of privy council that he shall Live peaceably and with all submission under the government of their majesties King William and Queen Mary, and that he shall not act, consult nor contrive anything in prejudice thereof, nor converse or correspond with any rebels, and that he shall keep his said confinement and not depart without the said town of Edinburgh and suburbs thereof, and that he shall appear before the said lords of privy council when called for under the penalty of two Hundred pounds sterling in case he transgresses in any part of the premises.
