In an action between the Laird of Carnousie and the Laird of Meldrum, Carnousie gave in a supplication, showing that he had summoned certain witnesses to depone in that cause, who were servants to Meldrum, whom he could not get to compear for fear of their master, albeit he had used his whole diligences
against them; and therefore desired letters to charge Meldrum, their master, to produce them. Which desire the Lords granted. Page 246.
