appryse_v for_o the_o same_o the_o legal_a whereof_o be_v now_o expire_v through_o the_o default_n and_o fraud_n of_o the_o pursuer_fw-mi so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o pursuer_fw-mi will_v be_v debtor_n to_o gilkerscleugh_n in_o great_a sum_n than_o he_o be_v worth_a this_o be_v premise_v it_o be_v answer_v for_o gilkerscleugh_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o allege_v in_o the_o say_a lybel_n that_o he_o meddle_v with_o any_o of_o newtoun_n estate_n either_o as_o fine_a of_o forefaulture_n or_o that_o he_o any_o other_o manner_n of_o way_n meddle_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o so_o that_o he_o not_o be_v able_a to_o lybel_n in_o the_o term_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n anent_o fines_n and_o forefaulture_n he_o have_v patch_v up_o the_o say_n false_a and_o irrelevant_a story_n contirve_v by_o he_o of_o purpose_n to_o force_v from_o gilkerscleugh_n a_o discharge_n of_o the_o foresay_a just_a debt_n for_o which_o he_o know_v he_o will_v be_v liable_a and_o whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o gilkerscleugh_n be_v stir_v up_o against_o he_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o civil_a action_n depend_v betwixt_o they_o the_o same_o be_v gross_o calumnious_a see_v newtoun_n have_v never_o any_o ground_n nor_o do_v intend_v any_o action_n against_o gilkerscleugh_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n he_o intent_a a_o action_n against_o newtoun_n to_o relieve_v he_o of_o the_o say_a debt_n for_o which_o his_o father_n be_v cautioner_n and_o which_o newtoun_n by_o his_o contract_n be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v as_o say_v be_v and_o he_o be_v so_o conscious_a that_o the_o say_a pursuit_n be_v just_a and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v liable_a that_o he_o be_v necessitat_fw-la to_o use_v a_o most_o disingenuous_a shift_n to_o stop_v the_o process_n by_o debar_v gilkerscleugh_n with_o horning_n so_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o false_a to_o pretend_v that_o he_o have_v any_o process_n against_o gilkerscleugh_n which_o may_v have_v stir_v up_o gilkerscleugh_n against_o he_o 2._o if_o the_o libel_n as_o it_o be_v conceive_v be_v true_a as_o it_o be_v most_o false_a yet_o it_o be_v no_o way_n relevant_a 1._o because_o the_o word_n allege_v to_o be_v inform_v by_o gilkerscleugh_n be_v not_o libel_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v 2._o if_o the_o word_n have_v be_v libel_v than_o they_o will_v either_o be_v treasonable_a or_o not_o and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o than_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v inform_v otherways_o he_o himself_o will_v have_v be_v liable_a in_o the_o pain_n of_o treason_n for_o conceal_v or_o they_o be_v not_o treasonable_a in_o which_o case_n newtown_n will_v have_v sustain_v no_o prejudice_n thereby_o 3._o it_o be_v notour_o know_v that_o there_o be_v previous_a cognition_n take_v by_o these_o who_o have_v commission_n through_o the_o whole_a western_a shire_n what_o one_o man_n know_v against_o another_o and_o oblige_v they_o to_o depone_v upon_o oath_n otherways_o they_o be_v send_v to_o prison_n as_o also_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a question_n who_o you_o do_v know_v that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o such_o a_o affair_n so_o that_o as_o a_o person_n be_v oblige_v to_o tell_v who_o be_v contest_v and_o one_o these_o precognition_n the_o indictment_n at_o the_o circuit_n court_n be_v take_v out_o and_o newtowns_n indictment_n consist_v of_o many_o more_o article_n than_o these_o word_n allege_v to_o be_v inform_v against_o he_o by_o gilkerscleugh_n which_o be_v separately_z relevant_a and_o if_o the_o word_n have_v be_v treasonable_a as_o newtown_n pretend_v than_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o discover_v the_o same_o especial_o when_o he_o see_v a_o severe_a example_n before_o he_o of_o the_o laird_n of_o deuchall_n who_o be_v forefault_n for_o conceal_v only_o that_o which_o be_v whisper_v in_o his_o ear_n by_o sir_n john_n cochran_n who_o crave_v of_o he_o some_o supply_n for_o the_o earl_n of_o argyle_n 3._o see_v there_o be_v so_o universal_a a_o precognition_n take_v as_o say_v be_v all_o that_o gilkerscleugh_n can_v pretend_v to_o have_v inform_v be_v the_o word_n speak_v to_o he_o by_o newtown_n and_o it_o be_v think_v strange_a how_o the_o dilate_v of_o these_o can_v be_v pretend_v to_o be_v the_o only_a ground_n of_o his_o imprisonment_n see_v there_o be_v four_o or_o five_o separate_a article_n in_o his_o indictment_n every_o one_o thereof_o be_v relevant_a to_o infer_v treason_n and_o which_o can_v be_v prtend_v that_o ever_o gilkerscleugh_n know_v or_o inform_v of_o because_o newtown_n be_v indict_v in_o june_n 1683_o at_o the_o circuit-court_n wherein_o it_o be_v special_o libel_v that_o he_o send_v his_o man_n and_o horse_n to_o bothw●l_v and_o that_o he_o take_v a_o shame_n instrument_n against_o his_o servant_n at_o lanerk_n protest_v that_o he_o be_v innocent_a of_o his_o go_n and_o that_o he_o only_o send_v his_o man_n to_o bring_v back_o the_o horse_n but_o not_o to_o join_v with_o the_o rebel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o make_v he_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o at_o lanerk_n and_o gilkerscleugh_v deposition_n be_v not_o take_v till_o october_n 1683_o which_o be_v after_o the_o indictment_n so_o that_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o allege_v that_o newtowns_n incarceration_n proceed_v from_o gilkerscleugh_n see_v newtown_n have_v be_v former_o indict_v and_o declare_v fugitive_n for_o not_o appear_v
