Concerning the presenting of sasines yearly to the exchequer

²Item, it is statute and ordained that the act of parliament made by our sovereign lord's dearest grandfather, King James V of good memory, for presenting by the sheriffs and their clerks of the protocols of all sasines yearly in the exchequer, be put to due execution in all points. And our said sovereign lord, with advice aforesaid, of new ratifies and approves the same act and ordains that the clerk of court of each sheriffdom come with the said sheriff or his deputes in every exchequer and bring with him a book pertaining all sasines given by them, subscribed with the said clerk's own hand and sign manual, that the same may remain in the register so that the king's majesty may know his tenants and all others having interest may have recourse thereto.
