CORRIES OK AWANUALE. 93 



good old ag-e, as he was living in 1510, and probably later. 

 But, thoug-h the estates of Corrie were thus forfeited and 

 granted to Thomas Carruthers, there must have been a remis- 

 sion, or the forfeiture was only partial, since, 20th June, 1498, 

 the lands of " Vestscalis " are resigned in a procuratory by 

 Adam of Kirkpatrick of Pennersax into the hands of " George 

 Corry of that Ilk, lord of the whole tenement of Corry," to 

 dispose of at his pleasure (Buc, 58). In 1498, therefore, 

 George Corry was still laird of Corry, and there is evidence 

 that he remained so for some years thereafter. i8th January, 

 1504, Robert Dalzell of Budhouse had a decreet against 

 George Corry of that Ilk, and Walter Corry, his son and 

 apparent heir, for the sum of 300 merks, and, in the absence 

 of movable g^oods upon which to levy, the Corry lands were 

 apprized. These lands were Dompilholm, Pietschawis, 

 Wynquhame (now Winholm), Auldtown of Corry, Craig- 

 house, Crandaldike, Taythbank, Johnehill, and Merynhill 

 (Murrenhill), amounting in all to ;^. 10 worth of lands. (Reg. 

 Great Seal, ii., No. 2810). Here George Corry is still desig- 

 nated " of that Ilk," and the Accotints of the Lord Higli 

 Treasurer of Scotland (vol. iii., p. 14) for the year 1506, refer- 

 ring to this transaction, show that certain lands " belonging 

 to the laird of Corre " (dominus de Corre) were apprized to 

 Robert Dalzell of Budhouse. Moreover, there can be no 

 doubt that the laird of Corry, who sat on an assize in Edin- 

 burgh in 1509 (Pitcairn's Crim. Trials, i., 62*), was the same 

 George Corry of that Ilk. 29th November, 15 10, Robert 

 Maxwell of Park sent letters to the steward depute of Annan- 

 dale, distraining George Corry " for amercements and ferms 

 of lands apprized to the King," including Quhiteriggis 

 (Whiterigs), and Milhouse, with the mill thereof, Lund, 

 Ersgill, Piotschawis, Loudanehuke (Loder hook). Park, Bow- 

 hous, Meranehill (Murrenhill), and the advowson of the 

 Church of Corry, amounting in all to ;^200. t After this the 



t The lauds of Corrie passed to the Jolinstones. 27th October, 

 1516, James Johnestoun of that Ilk has a grant of Quhitriggis and 

 Mekilhouse, with the mill thereof, Lund. Ersgills, Pietschawis, 

 Lowdauhuke, Park, Mei-ynhill, and Bowhous, with the patronage 

 of the church of Corry, &c., which Robert. Lord Maxwell, personally 

 resigned. (Beg. Great Seal, iii., No. 99.)
