DUNCAN KEIR, in Glenmuick, aged twenty and upwards, unmarried, solemnly
sworn, purged and interrogate, Depones, That the day that the Braemaar
men were going to the Michaelmas fair in Strathaven, which was the day
before the said fair held, he saw Duncan Clerk, the panel, at Gleney,
where the deponent then lived, before he and the other shearers there
had got their dinner, and that they dined sometimes later and sometimes
more early, and cannot tell at what time they dined that day, but the
sun was a good while high when he saw him: That he had on a plaid,
which he thinks was grey: That Gleney is a mile farther up the water
than Inverey towards the hill; and the next day, after he saw the said
Duncan Clerk as above, he heard that Serjeant Davies was amissing.
_Causa scientiae patet._ And this is the truth, as he shall answer to
God. And depones he cannot write.

interpreter aforesaid, Depones, That the day before she heard Serjeant
Davies was amissing, she saw Duncan Clerk, the panel, at the shearers

remember that he had either a gun or a plaid, but thinks that he had a
short blue coat upon him, and that Gleney is a mile farther up the
water towards the hill than Inverey: That when she saw the said panel
it was before dinner, which they took early that day, being betwixt
twelve and one; and that Duncan Keir, the preceding witness, was one of
the said shearers; and that Gleney is about a mile from Glenconie.
_Causa scientiae patet._ And this is the truth, as she shall answer to
God. This deposition signed by the said sworn interpreter.
