tained in the
above-mentioned paper produced by him, Depones, That he once did,
shortly after the term of payment, to which Duncan answered, that it
would be as well to let it ly in his hands, to which he was satisfied,
and that he never asked payment of the annual rent; and being further
interrogate, Depones, that before the deponent went home to the panel's
service at Martinmas one thousand seven hundred and fifty, it was well
known and reported in the country that the bones of the dead body found
upon the above mentioned hill had been buried by the deponent and
Donald Farquharson, as also was the story of the vision or apparition
whereof the deponent had told Donald Farquharson; and being interrogate
for the panel, Depones, that he not only told the story of the vision
or apparition to Donald Farquharson, as above mentioned, but that he
also told it to John Growar and Daldownie before he mentioned it to
Donald Farquharson: Depones, That there were folks living with him at
the sheilling the time the vision appeared to him as above, but that he
told it to none of them; and adds, that Isobel M'Hardie, in Inveray, a
woman then in the sheilling with him, has told him since, that she saw
such a vision as the deponent has above described, and has told him
herself so much; and upon the panel's interrogatory, depones, that upon
the vision's appearing to him, it described the place where he would
find the bones so exactly, that he went within a yard of the place
where they lay upon his first going out: And this is the truth, as he
shall answer to God; and depones he cannot write.
