 foi. 46] Memorandum relating that Cuthbert Fergussoun in 



Glencrosche produced to William Earl of Glencairn a charter 



of the two merkland and forty pennyland of Glenjawin in the 



sheriffdom of Dumfries and earldom of Glencairn, granted 



by John Greirson of Dalmacurane in favour of Isabella, 



daughter of the said Cuthbert, dated 20th November, 1522, 



and a notarial instrument, under the hand of Sir Thomas 



Connelsoune, notary public, in favour of the said Isabella, 



dated 20th November, 1522, and alleged in presence of the 



said Earl, lord superior of the said lands, that he went to his 



audience, that the said John was about to invest [blank] 



Greirsone, his son, in the fee of the said lands to the loss 



and prejudice of the said Isabella, and meanwhile the Earl 



himself made answer that the premisses could not hurt or 



damage Isabella, because he himself had previously seen 



the instrument of sasine granted by John before Isabella's 



infeftment and sasine, and so Isabella could suffer no damage 



during her lifetime.* Done at the Castle of Glencairn,
