A38878	An Exact and faithful relation of the process pursued by Dame Margaret Areskine, Lady Castlehaven, relict of the decesed Sir James Foulis of Collingtoun, against Sir James Foulis now of Collingtoun, before the Lords of Council and Session with certain remarks upon the import and extent of protestations for remeed of law in general, and in particular upon the protestation or appeal offered by the Lady.		1690 (1690)	Wing E3598; ESTC R25698	45,312	65
