Bailie James Grahame, in Edinburgh, against Jaques Mell in Rowen, who had fled thence for the persecution; and, upon letters from James Grahame, inviting him here, and promising him all security and assurance, had come to Scotland; and yet getting him engaged in a submission, and a decreet-arbitral, he was offering to distress his person thereon, though he had goods of his in his hands near to the value of 8000 livres, and the whole claim was but 10,000 livres.
The Lords ordained him to apply by suspension: and Bailie Grahame, by a bill to the Privy Council, pretending that he was about to flee, got a warrant to arrest him. They afterwards made some agreement.
