DEPOSITIONS OF MR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE AND EDWARD CALLENDER 1720
ANSWERS FOR MR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL CLERKS OF
SESSION THE PETITION OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND TRUSTEES FOR SALE OF
FORFEITED ESTATES THE SAID COMMISSIONERS AND TRUSTEES HAVE EXHIBITED A
PETITION AGAINST THE SAID MR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE COMPLAINING OF HIS
REFUSEING TO GIVE THEM AN EXTRAIT OF A DECREET PRONOUNCED ON AN
EXEPTION OF KENNETH MACKENZIE OF ASSINT AND COLLONEL ALEXANDER
MACKENZIE OF CONASBAY HIS CURATOR AS SUPERIOR OF THE LANDS OF
TROTTERNESS LATE THE PROPERTY OF THE LATE SIR DONALD MACDONALD. AND
CRAVEING THAT HE AND HIS SERVANT MAY BE EXAMINED UPON THE MATTER
CONTAINED IN THE SAID PETITION AND THAT HE MAY BE ORDAINED TO GIVE AN
EXTRACT OF THE PROCESS OR TO SECURE THE TRUSTEES AGAINST FUTURE
EXTRAITES AND TO ORDAIN HIM TO FIND CAUTION FOR SUCH DAMAGES AS MAY
ARISE TO THE TRUSTEES AND THAT HE MAY BE CENSURED AND TO PRODUCE THE
GROUNDS AND WARRANDS OF THE PROCESS THE SAID MR ALEXANDER MACKENZIE
WILL WITH GREAT EASE MAKE ANSWER TO WHAT IS CHARGED UPON HIM AND FIRST
HE SAYS THERE WAS AN EXEPTION AS TO THE LANDS OF TROTTERNISH EXHIBITED IN
THE MANNER MENTIONED IN THE PETITION AND THAT THERE WERE ANSWERS PUTT
IN BY THE COMMISSIONERS TO THE SAID EXCEPTION BUT THEN HE SAYS THAT THERE
WAS NO SUCH INTERLOQUITORY SENTENCE AS MENTIONED IN THE PETITION
PRONOUNCED BY THE COURT NOR DID HE DELIVER A COPIE OF SUCH AN
INTERLOQUITOR TO THOMAS FORDYCE AGENT AND DOER FOR THE TRUSTEES NOR
DOES HE BELIEVE THAT EDWARD CALLENDER HIS SERVANT DID DID DELIVER ANY
SUCH INTERLOQUITOR OR DECREE IN THE TERMS MENTIONED IN THE PETITION THAT
WHAT ENDEVOURS WERE USED FOR OBTAINING AN EXTRACT WAS A FRUITLESS
LABOUR FOR REASONS FORESAID AFFIRMS THAT ASSINT WHO PRESENTED THE
EXEPTION DID AGAIN WITHDRAW HIS EXCEPTION AND QUITT ANY CLAIM HE
THEREBY AND THIS APPEARS BY WHAT IS WRITT ON THE BACK OF THE EXCEPTION
HE IS ALTOGETHER UNCONCERNED WHAT MAY BE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE
PETITIONERS WANT OF AN EXTRACT OF A SENTENCE THAT WAS NEVER GIVEN THAT
HE NEITHER HAS ANY SUCH INTERLOQUITOR NOR DOES BELIEVE THAT ANY SUCH
EVER WAS PRONOUNCED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO PRODUCE AND LAY BEFORE
YOUR LORDSHIPS AS NOW HE HAS DONE THE PRINCIPAL EXCEPTION WITH THE
ANSWER DELIVERED NOR IS HE CONCERNED IN THE REASONING PART OF THE
PETITION WHERE THE PETITIONERS WOULD FORM AN ARGUMENT AGAINST HIM AS IF
IT WERE INCREDIBLE THAT ASSINT WOULD MOVE AN OBJECTION AGAINST HIMSELF
THOUGH HE BELIEVES THE TRUE REASON WAS THAT WHEN ASSINTES PROCURATORS
CAME TO LOOK INT THE DEIT OF MAILLS AND DUTIES OBTAINED AT HIS INSTANCE
AGAINST THE VASSALLS THEY FOUND THAT SIR DONALDS TENNENTS WERE NOT
CALLED THEREIN NOR HAD HE OBTAINED HIMSELF INFEFT IN THE SAID LANDS IN THE
TERME OF THE ACT FOR ENCOURAGEING SUPERIORS ETC AND IT IS SOMEWHAT TOO
SUBTILL TO SAY THAT IF ASSINT HAS WITHDRAWN ANYTHING TIS SUSPECTED TO BE
SIGNED INTERLOQUITOR FOR BY THE TERM " WITHDRAWN" HERE NOTHING ELSE
COULD BE MEANT BUT THAT ASSINT HAD WAVED OR PASSED FROM HIS EXCEPTION
HE SAYS THAT HE HAD NOT WITHDRAWN THE PROCESS NOR ANY PART OF THE
PROCESS ALL IS STILL EXTANT AND IS HEREWITH PRODUCED. CS 235/11/MISC- 4 AS TO
WHAT IS ALLEGED THAT THE INTERLOQUITOR WAS ACTUALLY SIGNED UPON AN

19. AGREEMENT ADDUCED FROM THE ACT OF REGULATION 1672 THAT DOES NOT
CONCERNE HIM NO DOUBT THE COMMISSIONERS MIGHT HAVE OBTAINED
PROTESTATION BUT THEY DO NOT PRETENT THAT THE SAME WAS SOUGHT AND THEY
MIGHT HAVE GOT NOTTICE FROM THE PROCURATORS COMPEARING FOR THEM THAT
THE EXCEPTANT DID WAVE HIS CLAIM WITHOUT ANY OPPOSITION ON THEIRSIDE NOR
IS IT HIS BUSINESS MUCH TO NOTICE WHAT IS ARGUED FROM THE PRESIDENTES ROLL
IT IS SUFFICIENT FOR HIS EXONERATION TO SAY THAT NO SUCH INTERLOQUITOR
WAS SIGNED BY THE PRESEDENT AND THEREFORE HE IS NOT FARTHER CONCERNED
HE SUBMITTS HIMSELF TO ONE EXAMINATION AND TO YOUR LORDSHIPS
JUDGEMENTS AFTER THE EXAMINATION IS MADE AND HOPES THAT AFTER TRIAL THE
PETITION WILL BE FOUND GROUNDLESS ONLY THIS HE MUST OBSERVE THAT SEEING
THE PETITIONERS PRETEND TO HAVE A COPY OF THE INTERLOQUITOR UNDER
EDWARD CALENDERS HAND THE SAME OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AND TILL
IT BE PRODUCED HE WILL BEG LEAVE TO SAY THAT HE HAS GREAT DIFFERENCE
THEREOF. YOUR LORDSHIPS MAY PROCEED TO EXAMINATION AND TRYALL WHEN
YOU PLEASE MR MACKENZIE IS READY TO MAKE ANSWERS BUT IN THE MEAN TIME
HE EXPECTES THAT YOUR LORDSHIPS WILL ORDAIN THE COPIE OF THE
INTERLOQUITOR MENTIONED IN THE PETITION TO BE EXHIBITED WHICH HE FIRMLY
BELEIVES WAS NOT DELIVERED TO THOMAS FORDYCE THE AGENT ALEXANDER HAY.
