Act for Lord Lindores and the heritors of Newburgh for stipend

Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by John [Leslie] Lord Lindores, patron of the parish shewing that the parish kirk of Newburgh has been vacant ever since the term of Mertinmas 1689 as yet supplied by none, nor any person whatever pretending interest to the stipend thereof, and the truth is no minister has ever offered to accept the charge and cure of the said parish in respect of the meanness of the stipend and that the church is altogether ruinous and no manse for the minister to live in, the church dykes are likewise fallen so that the place of burial is altogether made as the open place of pasture, and there is no schoolhouse but what the parish has these several years past been at the charge of paying rent for, and seeing the said stipend for the time past cannot be better employed than for building of a manse, repairing of the said church and dykes thereof and building of a school house, all of which are most necessary and pious works, and that all concerned in the parish are most ready to concur therewith as shall (if need be) be instructed by a consent of all the heritors and inhabitants of the said parish in writing to the clerks of council before extracting, and therefore craving that the said lords would be pleased in consideration of the premises to allow the said bygone stipend of the said parish to be uplifted by the petitioners for the pious and necessary uses foresaid, and for that end to name there own collector for whom they are content to find caution beyond exception that the said stipend shall be employed and stowed to the uses foresaid, as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council, having considered this petition given in to them by the Lord Lindores, patron of the parish kirk of Newburgh, they hereby allow to the petitioner the whole bygone stipend of the said kirk since the term of Martinmas 1689 and that for building of a manse, repairing of that kirk and dykes thereof and building of a school house in the said parish of Newburgh, and they nominate and appoint Mr David Oram in Newburgh to be factor for uplifting of the said bygone stipend and ordains the said factor to be readily answered, obeyed and paid thereof by the heritors, feuars, wadsetters and others liable in payment of the same, and ordains letters of horning under the signet of council at the said factor’s instance against them for that effect, he producing a decreet of locality, and in case there is none, ordains those liable to make payment to him of their respective proportions of the said stipends accordingly as they shall be discerned by the judge ordinary in respect that the petitioner has given in to the clerks of council a consent of the heritors and inhabitants of the said parish in writing, as likewise in respect that the said factor has found sufficient caution acted in the books of privy council that he shall employ the whole foresaid bygone vacant stipend upon the ends and uses foresaids.
