As to which Stratherick men, The petitioner humbly hopes their Lordships will not find him obnoxious for, or lyable to present; Because albeit by the Clause in the Close of the 39th act anno 1693 The acts made anent the Clans and their Chiftains for the more Effectuall Suppressing of Depredations, be Extended to the publict peace and preservation. Yet 1mo The Petitioner is none of these That by the List of Chiftans of Clans or Branches thereof Subjoyned to the Councill proclamation anno 1681 anent the Laws made for securing the peace in the high-lands but on the Contrair mention is made of the Lord Lovit as Cheif and a great many other Frasers as branchis particularly Fraser of Ardachie Fraser of Litle Glendo Fraser of Erchete Fraser of Foyer and others who are nottourly known to be the heads of the trybes of all the Stratherick men and one whom the peace of the Countrey as to these men did ly, nor did The Government att all Think fitt to Burden the petitioner or any of his predecessors, In respect their Residence was att Strichen in Buchan upwards of Fourscore miles distance, And Therfore It is hoped That the Extending of former Laws anent Chiftans of Clans, to the caice of the publict peace cannot putt him In a worse Condition then he was by the said former Law 2do as the Petitioner Does not Know, nor is Bound to be in the Knowledge of the particular Ground of accusation either against himself or the Straterick men Till he be duely Certiorat of the same; yet Esto The same should be said to be on the account of ther alledged accession to the disorders Complained of as committed against the Lord Saltoun and the Lady Lovat It is well Known how much the Countrey of Stratherick is now Ruined, and the Inhabitants (as is Credibly Informed by missive Letters) reduced to Extream misery and want, Through The depreidations Committed on them By the McDonalds of Brea-Lochaber, under the Conduct of the Intercommand Coll McDonald, or his Brother in Conjunction with the multitude of Atholl men, sent upon them, all under colour of the Governments having intercomuned the said Stratherick men and ordered The forces against them so that the Government having proceeded such a Length by Executing of Letters of Treason by Heraulds. It is humbly supposed That the Petitioner as a privat man now after the Governments denunceing and Intercomuning as said is, cannot be Bound for the Behaviour of any such persons. 3tio, Esto, By the Extension aforsaid of the acts anent Chiftans of Clans. The Petitioner should be comprehended quoad the Stratherick men, as it is hoped he cannot for the reasons abovededuced. Yet it is humbly contended That he cannot be made Simply lyable, to present their persones as master or Land Lord Because by the act 108 Parliament 11 James 6th It is Expresly provided That the Land Lord shall be releived of the pain and danger of the Law, In caice he doe within fourty days after the next Term Ensueing the citation given him to present the men to and underly the Law actualy remove them from his ground, or obtain Decreit of removal and denunce them thereon. That being all that the Law Thought Reasonable for a master Especialy Leaving att a Distance to perform, how ever the Chiftans or Branches of Clanns be precisely Bound to sist the persones or otherways be lyable Therfore and seing none descended of the petitioners family Dwell in Stratherick as is nottourly Known ther residence being in Buchan. Beside that the petitioner hes now been Aboundantly harassed and troubled by Confinements Repeated Bonds of presentation attour his personall attendance att this place And Therfore Humbly Craving their Lordships would be pleased To dispense with his finding Caution any further He being Lawbiding and ready to answer when called for as the said petetion bears. Which Petition Being this day Read in presence of the Lords of his majesties privie Councill, They declared the Petitioner to be att his full Liberty To Return to his own home and goe about his affairs as any other of his majesties good subjects, he first giving Bond and finding sufficient Caution acted in the Books of privy Councill That he shall Live peaceablie under and with all Submission to the present Government of his majestie King Wiliam and That he shall not act Consult or Contrive any thing in prejudice thereof nor shall not Converse or Correspond with any Rebells and that he shall appear before the saids Lords of privy Councill whensoever he shall be Called for or required thereto under the penalty of Five Hundered pounds sterling in caice he shall Trasngress in any part of the premises. And In Respect The said Bond and Caution is before Extracting heirof found and given in The saids Lords ordains The Petitioners former Bond granted be him and the Laird of Udnay younger as Cautioner for him dated the Tenth day of February Last bypast to be delivered up to him.
