Order: for drawing up an indictment against the Lord Banff
Ordinance for drawing up an indictment against [George Ogilvy], lord Banff

Forasmuch as the precept and summons raised and executed against George, lord Banff, in the name and at the instance of Robert [Balfour], lord [Balfour of] Burleigh, president of the committee of estates appointed for the late northern expedition, being produced and read in audience of the parliament, and considered by the estates of parliament, the said estates find no necessity in summoning the said George, lord Banff of new in respect of the libel and citation produced, and that he has found caution and compeared personally, and find that the transmitting of the libel to the defender is sufficient and supplies any further citation, and therefore ordain the procurators of estate to transmit the said indictment and to deliver the duplicate thereof to the Lord Banff to compear and answer to what judge the estates shall appoint.
