<OPENER>Humbly &s;heweth,</OPENER>
<P>THat where my decea&s;t Father by his Nomination dated the <HI>18th.</HI> of <HI>February,</HI> 1689. years, did nominat and appoint Sir <HI>Thomas Stuart</HI> of <HI>Balcaskie,</HI> Sir <HI>John Fowlis</HI> of <HI>Ravelstoun</HI> Sir <HI>John Young</HI> of <HI>Le|ny John Stuart</HI> of <HI>Garntilly,</HI> Mr. <HI>John Menzies</HI> Advocat, <HI>Archbald Young</HI> Brother German to the &s;aid Sir <HI>John Young,</HI> and Mr. <HI>Robert Lawder</HI> of <HI>Beillmonth</HI> to be my Tutors, recomending the &s;ame per&s;ons to be cho&s;en by me for my Curators with this expre&s;s <HI>provi&s;o</HI> that they &s;hould be no farder lya|ble by the acceptation of the &s;aids Offices than conform to their actual Intromi|&s;&s;ions allenarly, and &s;hould no ways be holden to compt for &s;uch Omi&s;&s;ions, but only to do &s;uch Diligence as any provident man is in u&s;e to do in his own Affairs, di&s;pen&s;ing with all Laws and Pratiques in the contrary, upon the faith of which Nomination and fore&s;aid Conditions therein expre&s;t, my &s;aid Tutors accepted but now that the Tutory is ended, and I have in Obedience to my Fathers Recomendation cho&s;en the &s;aid Sir <HI>Thomas Stuart,</HI> Sir <HI>John Fowlis,</HI> Mr. <HI>John Menzies,</HI> and <HI>Archbald Young</HI> to be my Curators they demurr to accept and are grown doubtful of the for&s;aid Provi&s;ion in my Fathers Nomination in their Favours, whereby it happens that both they and all others &s;tand off from medling in my Affairs and and I am like to be quite de&s;titute of all A&s;&s;i&s;tance of Friends, during my whole Minority, notwith&s;tanding that my Father left much Bu&s;ine&s;s, and particulary many Book Debts that are like to peri&s;h for want of the A&s;&s;i&s;tance for&s;aid, and &s;eing that this ca&s;e is extraordinar, and that my &s;aid Friends have already acted upon the Faith of the &s;aid Nomination, as al&s;o that our Law has no Remedy, when all per&s;ons refu&s;e to be Curators, His Maje&s;ties Care of Minors, extending no farder than Pupiliarity.</P>
<P>May it therefore plea&s;e your Grace and Lord&s;hips, in con&s;ideration of the Premi&s;&s;es, to interpo&s;e your Authority to the &s;aid Nomination and Provi&s;ion therein expre&s;t, in favours of may &s;aid Tutors and Curators, to the effect they may both accept for the future, and be &s;afe both as to bygons, and in time coming, for all their Actings conform to the Tru&s;t, and free of all hazards, whereof my Father has expre&s;ly freed them. And your Grace and Lord&s;hips Petitioner &s;hall ever pray.</P>
