[At the outset there was a considerable difference between the emoluments of the two ministers, in 1574 that of the one amounting to £100, together with the " kirk land " of the church, while that of the other was only £67, 18s. 8d. ; but in 1706, on the occasion of the promotion of Thomas Paterson to the First Charge, con- sequent on the death of David Williamson, the opportunity was taken of making an arrangement whereby the stipends of the two ministers were equalised. This change, which was ratified by the Presbytery 12th November 1706, was no doubt suggested by the deceased minister, who in order to equalise matters had purchased a house recently erected, adjacent to the existing manse, and presented it to the kirk- session for behoof of his colleague and his successors in office. The upkeep of this second manse was declined by the heritors, and eventually the house was sold. The absence of a manse or manse fund for the minister occupying the Second Charge was long the only difference existing between the respective charges.] ROBERT PONT, trans, from Elgin, and lff_4 adm. 1574 ; Commissioner of Moray ; trans, to Collegiate Charge in 1578. —[Beg.
