Mr. William Clerk Advocat, purged, and sworn, Depones, that having frequent occasions to be with Sir Iames Standsfield, and he having desire∣ed him to draw a disposition of his estate to his Son Iohn. Sir Iames did complain of his Son Philips undutyfulness to him. And the Deponent having diswaded him to do it, since his Son Philip might be reclaimed: Sir Iames said, no, for he had no expectation of it; For when he was at the Lead-hills, there was some Pistol shot at him, which he was sure came from his Son Philip. And this is the truth as he shall answer to God. Sic subscribitur.

William Clerk.
