Sae ae auld hirpling deevil of a potter behoved just to step in my way and offer me a pig, as he said, just to put my Scotch ointment in, and I gave him a push, as but natural, and the tottering deevil coupit ower amang his ain pigs, and damaged a score of them. And then the reird raise, and hadna these twa gentlemen helped me out of it, murdered I suld hae been, without remeid.
The alarm of the Lord Keeper became very serious; since the Claim of Right, the power of appealing from the decisions of the civil court to the Estates of Parliament, which had formerly been held incompetent, had in many instances been claimed, and in some allowed, and he had no small reason to apprehend the issue, if the English House of Lords should be disposed to act upon an appeal from the Master of Ravenswood "for remeid in law."
"I doubt that may hardly be," answered the citizen, "if it please your Majesty; your learned counsel in the law of Scotland advise, that there is no remeid but in paying the money." "Ud's fish," said the king, "let him keep haud by the strong hand against the carle, until we can take some order about his affairs."
It would be a bonny thing if, by the escape of one ill- doer another was to go scatheless, and the remeid is to summon the principal and put him to outlawry for the non-compearance. Now take the case of Alan. Where, then, and what way should he be summoned? I ask it at yourself, a layman."
