Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1592-1624: (1610-1624) .
Copied in the same chronological disorder as in Adv.MS.24.1.11 - which is the older MS, and has better text, so that the present MS derives from the latter, and not vice versa.
[{i}First items:{/i}] In ane persuit for the Laird of Scottis [{i}MS 24.1.11 adds:{/i} wyfes] escheit for puting of violent hand in hirselfe, the Lords found that the donator had ryt to the tuo part of hir husbands guds without any defalcatioun of the debts awin be the husband. May 1613.

[{i}There follow cases of 1614, then 1616, no cases 1617-1618, yet cases 1619, 1620, 1621, provisionally skipping the year 1622, then cases 1623, one item '1633' (probably a slip of pen), many cases 1622-1623, and interspersed at least one case of 1619, and again two cases '1633'. Example from fol. 206r:{/i}] Sir William Grahame persewit Johne Ogilvie ... 20 Merche 1623.

[{i}Then suddenly cases from June 1610. It thus appears that the model MS was misbound, or that it consisted of loose quires which were in disorder. Examples:{/i}] Davidsone contrair McCubine, 29 June 1610.
