It being objected against Major Bunting being led as a witness for Drumellier against the Earl of Tweeddale, that he had given partial counsel, at least had concerned himself as a party for Drumellier, in so far as he had been at consultations with him in relation to the process;

The Lords found, That he could not be a witness, though he was a person of integrity above exception; and that he was free to declare that, at the said consultations, the point whereupon he was to be used as a witness was not in consideration.

Clerk, Gibson. Dirleton, No. 441. p. 215.
