  1. NAS, PA2/2, f.125r. Back
  2. Deleted - 'Robert Colville of Ochiltree'. Back
  3. Deleted - 'Robert'. Back
  4. The rest of f.125r-v is blank. A previous folio, containing the rest of the sederunt, has been lost. An ink blot on f.125v (a mirror image of the words 'first it is st...') arose from the folio being pressed against f.126r before the acts on that folio were dry. This shows that f.125 and 126 have been together since the acts were written, and therefore increases the probability that the names on f.125r are the sederunt for the April 1481 session of parliament.
