These merciless ravages were wiped out by the battle of 

 Ancrum Moor, (in 1545), where on Lilyard's Edge fell Lord 

 Evers and his son, Sir Bryan Latoun, and 800 Englishmen, many 

 of whom were persons of rank. A thousand prisoners were 

 taken. 



By some misunderstanding a part of the members were nearly 

 left behind by the conveyances, but all were picked up at last ; 

 but the extent of ground gone over was too extensive for the 

 time allotted, and it was five o'clock before the last carriage 

 reached Duns. Only a hasty meal could be snatched by those 

 who left at 5.30. 



The proceedings were necessarily hurried. There were some 

 rare garden flowers on the table from Mr Ferguson, Duns, and 

 others ; specimens of Trientalis Europaa from Mr H. Hewat Craw,
