Commission under the testimony of the Great Seal of William and Mary, narrating that James, Earl of Callander, and his tutors had presented an application to the Lords of Council and Session setting forth that he was about to obtain a brieve from chancery for serving himself as nearest and lawful heir to Alexander, Earl of Callander, his father, who had died last vest and seised as of fee at the faith and peace of the King and Queen in certain lands and annualrents and that as they lay within different jurisdictions it would be troublesome and expensive to sue for service before the judge of each jurisdiction: their Majesties therefore, by deliverance of the said Lords, constitute and ordain the four ordinary macers before the Lords of Council and Session or any two of them sheriffs of Stirling and Linlithgow, and bailies of the regality of Falkirk, in that part, giving and granting to them full power to sit within the Tolbooth of Edinburgh for serving said brieve, and with other usual powers.
