Regarding compearance before the session
Regarding the article ordaining that no party shall compear hereafter before the lords of session with any but their advocates and agents, the estates find it not fit that the nobility and barons of good sort should be debarred from hearing of actions pleaded before the session for their better information and enabling of them for his majesty's and the country's service, and therefore they recommend the ordering of this matter to the lords of session.
