45 His appearance in the latter town might indicate relationship 

 with George Hume, indAveller there, who, with others, had to find 

 surety to underly the law for selling French wines above the statu- 

 tory price, May 4, 1555. Pitcairn's Criminal Trials, I., 377.

48 We have elsewhere noted that six merks annuity out of the 

 Friary rents was granted by the Burgh on 8th July, 1570, to Thomas 

 Herp, who had " susteinit mutillation in his neiss at the raid and 

 birnying of blaikshaw the xxvj of Aprile last bypast."

50 It is difficult to estimate the total of the Friary revenues. 

 As the properties were gradually feued the receipts rose in amount 

 from £33 lis lOd in 1568 to £46 10s 8d in 1573. In 1590-1 " the 

 freiris annuellis " are entered at £52 (Document, " Compt of 

 Common guid of the burgh of Drumfreis," in G.R.H.); but it is 

 doubtful if this last did not include rental from the lands of the 

 Chapels in the Burgh, which were also granted by the Charter of 

 1569 to the Burgh.
