Act

Liberation for Alexander Hay

Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Alexander Hay, now prisoner in the tolbooth of Edinburgh, showing that where the petitioner having been upon the last day of August last bypast incarcerated upon account of his having sold some meal and let the use of his cellar for putting some other goods therein to such persons as it now appears did apply the said goods towards the supply of those in rebellion against the government in the Bass, though the petitioner was then altogether ignorant of their design, has lain ever since that time in a most sad condition in prison under frequent sickness of body and other straits not a few, his wife and numerous family being thereby deprived of the only means of their subsistence (which was the petitioner’s lawful industry) and thereby reduced to the greatest extremity. And their lordships having (after a most strict inquiry into the matter of fact and the examination of many witnesses) remitted to the Lords Fountainhall and Aberuchill to consider the state of the whole affair and to report, their lordships have accordingly done the same, and their report is now ready to be given to the said lords of privy council, by which the petitioner most humbly expects that it will appear there is not any probation of a crime against him, and therefore humbly 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 Alexander Hay, they hereby grant warrant to and ordain the magistrates of Edinburgh and keeper of the tolbooth thereof to sett the petitioner at liberty forth of the said tollbooth in respect he has found caution acted in the books of privy council that he shall live peaceably and with all submission to the present government under their majesties King William and Queen Mary, and that he shall not act, consult, or contrive anything in prejudice thereof, nor shall not converse or correspond with rebels, and that he shall appear before the said lords of privy council when called for under the penalty of five hundred merks Scots.
