SAINT NINIANS PARISH -- (CONTINUED)

[Regarding Clayhills, now belonging to Mr. Bryce] NOTE. -- This disjunction appears to have been made upon a principle altogether erroneous. By an act of the
Commissioners, dated 11th September, 1695, John Murray of Touchadam's valuation is ascertained to be as stated in
the Old Roll ... £3010.5.4
and of the same date the Lands of Torbrex, belonging to John Wordie, are ascertained to be, £166.13.4
and the two acres of Land, and Houses thereon, at the Standing Stones, pertaining to the
heirs of John Ure, to be .... £8.0.0
[sub-total] £174.13.4
which are disjoined and deducted from Mr Murray's valuation, leaving for his Lands ... £2835.12.0
and by the same Act the valuation of "John Lockhart, smith," in Old Roll, is added thereto, being £12.0.0
Thus increasing Mr Murray's valuation to ... £2847.12.0
By the disjunction, in 1772, this sum is taken as the cumulo, and from it there is deducted, in the first
plaace, certain Feus, there called the Later Feus, being those under the name of Mr Potter, James
Murray, Mr Galloway, John Campbell, and Robert Fulton, amounting to ... £17.13.11
and also Dambends and Clayhills, amounting to ... £38.13.10
[sub-total] £56.7.9
Thus leaving a cumulo, to be divided by the disjunction in 1772, of ... £2791.4.3
while, in point of fact, Dambends and Clayhills stood previously disjoined in the Old Roll, 1691 -- the
former under the name of "the Heirs of Hendry Mitchell, smith," at ... £26.13.4
and the latter under the name of "John Thomson, taylor," at ... £12.0.0
[sub-total] £38.13.4
and they, therefore, formed no part of the above sum of £2847.12s. [shillings], the whole of which, after deducting £17.13s. [shillings] 11d. [pence]
only, ought to have been apportioned upon the several sums disjoined in 1772; and Dambends and Clayhills should
not be inserted in this disjunction at all, and the valuation here given to them is not in fact that attached to the said
Lands, which will be found under their proper heads of "the Heirs of Hendry Mitchell, smith," and "John Thom-
son, taylor," in the Old Roll, and the amount thereof, as stated in the above disjunction, is valuation which still be-
longs to Mr Murray, and should still be apportioned upon what are, strictly speaking, his Property Lands.
4s. [shillings] 1d. [pence] is lost upon these disjunctions.

Transcriber's notes

Annotations in red and/or green ink have not been transcribed.

Beginning on page 72 with "Alexander Wallace for Miln Lands thereof", this transcriber is unsure if subsequent entries on the page refer to the Miln Lands of the Lands and Tiends of Canglor, or simply to Miln Lands. That is, John Stewart's part maybe be John Stewart's part of the Lands and Tiends of Canglor, or it might be John Stewart's part of Miln Lands thereof.
