Unto his Grace , his Majesties High Commissioner , and the Right Honourable the Estates of Parliament . The Petition of Sir John Dalmahoy of that Ilk. HUMBLY SHEWETH ,

THAT the Commissioners of Supply , of the Shire of Edinburgh , having Appointed Hen●e Legat their Collector , to furnish the Forces with Hay , Corn and Straw , at the Rates appointed by the Act of the Lords of His Majesties Privy Council , and ingadged that he should be no Loser , b● Buying at the current price . Tho the same should exceed the Rates appointed be the Privie Council . B● Vertue whereof be began to furnish at Candlemass 1691. And the current rates being far above the prices appointed by the Privie Council , He did represent the same in April thereafter to the Commissioners of Supplie , who desired him to continue to furnish the Forces as formerlie . And renewed their ingagement that he should be no loser thereby , upon the Faith whereof he continued to serve as formerlie .

By this and other Los●s sustained through the Publick . Harie Legat turned Bankrupt , And Your peiitioner as his Cautioner was distressed for Cess , and other Ariers due by him , and upon ultimate diligence was necessitat to pay Ten Thousand pounds Scots of his Debt ; And I having applied to the saids Commissioners for reimbursing of Harie Legat of the Dammages he had sustained by the furnishing the Forces in manner foresaid . And they having appointed a Committee to consider his Accompts , And to Report . After full consideration thereof and probation taken anent the difference of the current Rates , and these appointed by the Privie Council ; Upon Report they found that the said Harie Legat was no less Loser during his Service as Commissar , then in the summ of one Thousand seven Hundred pounds Scots but scrupled to lay on the same upon the Shire , unless the Authoritie of Parliament be inte●poned thereto , And seeing the foresaid summ is but a smale part of the loss I have sustained , and a true and real Debt upon the Shyre , and the only Fond of my Relief .

It s therefore Humbly Begged , Your Grace ; and the Honourable Estates of Parliament , will be pleased to take the Premisses and my Great Loss to Your Consideration , And to Authorize the saids Commissioners of Supplie , to lay on the foresaid summ of one Thousand seven hundreth pounds upon the Respective Heritors , conform to the Valuation , And to Allow Your Petitioner such Diligence for Inbringing thereof , as is Granted for Supplie , and other Publick Burdens .

And Your Petitioner shal ever pray , &c.
