An appeal was given in by the Earl of Aboyne, and Mr John Gordon, his uncle and tutor, against Mrs Lyon, relict of Lyon of Muiresk, and John Riddoch, her assignee. It was a pursuit on a minute of contract, whereby Muiresk, in anno 1667, disponed his lands to my Lord Aboyne, and 8000 merks was yet resting of the price; against which, many defences were proponed, That he never attained the possession by that disposition, but was forced to transact with the Duke of Gordon, the Laird of Echt, and others, who had preferable rights; and they being repelled, he appealed.
