proceed to nominat an Chyrurgeon-Apothecary to be the Petitioners Visitor in time-coming the Lords would allow the Petitioners to nominat their own Visitor and likewise they have refused to produce their Patent to the Lords in December last though they founded their Answers thereupon to the Petitioners Petition that therefore the Lords would be pleased upon the Considerations foresaid in the

List given in or to free the Lords of this perpetual trouble that the Lords would allow the Petitioners the Nomination of their own Visitor in all time-coming as the saids Lords declared by their

Apothecaries of Edinburgh AT Edinburgh the Ninteen day of July 1683 years Anent the Petition given in and presented to the Lords of Council and Session be the Fraternity of the Apothecaries within the Burgh of Edinburgh Shewing that whereas the Lords having by their Decreet several years ago upon very rational and Important Grounds separat the two Callings of Pharmacy and Chyrurgerie and for makeing the said Separation effectual did appoint them to Sit at two different Tables and the Lords having afterwards appointed the Town of Edinburgh by several Acts and diliverances to nominat one of their Fraternity to be Visitor of the Calling and the Town having always complyed with the Chyrurgeon-Apothecaries who are one of their Trads to nominat one of their Number to be Visitors to the Apothecaries which the Lord did find so unreasonable and Inconsistent with the ends of the separation that now for these four years by past when they did nominat an Chyrurgeon-Apothecarie the Lords did most justly rescind the said Nomination and in respect of their Contimacie and disobedience did themselves nominat ane simple Apothecarie for these several years by past and did so far resent the disobedience that in March 1685 years Sir Patrick Hume the Towns Assessor for the time was called in before the Lords and publickly rebuked for giving the Town so unreasonable an advice and particularlie in March 1686 years the Lords by their Act in the Apothecaries favours which is produced in Proces sand that the Nomination of David Pringle a Chyrurgeon-Apothecarie was void and null and in his place appoint John Joisie a simple Apothecarie to be sole Visitor for that year and farder declared that if the Magistrats and Town Council of Edinburgh should at an time thereafter nominate ane Chyrurgeon-Apothecarie to be Visitor of the Apothecaries Fraternity that the Lords would allow the Petitioners to name their own Visitor in all time coming likeas the Town Council of Edinburgh having in December 1686 years upon pretence of a Patent lately obtained from his Majesty in favours of the Chyrurgeons-Apothecaries taken upon them to Nominat a Visitor to the Petitioners Fraternity notwithstanding that John Joisie was at the time Visitor be the Lords own appointment and that this year was not expired the Lords were pleased by their Interloquitor upon the eighteen of December the said year to Discharge the Visitor appointed be the Town Council and to continue the said John Joisie Visitor of the Petitioners Fraternity until the expiring of the year for which he was nominat by the Lords And farder in Anno 1687 the Petitioners did apply to the Town Council to nominat a Visitor which they having delayed the Petitioners were necessitat again to mean themselves to the Lords and after hearing all the answers given in by the Town Council the Lords did appoint Hugh Nilson to be Visitor for that year as is evident by the Act produced in Proces and now the Petitioners having again applyed to the Magistrats and Town Council to appoint a Visitor to the Petitioners Fraternity for this year they have after their usual manner delayed to give any answer and since the Petitioners have no otherways of Redress against so frequent and reiterated Acts of contempt and disobedience to the Lords Authority and incroachments upon just Priviledges but to make a new Complaint and Representation of the saids abuses and therefore humbly Craving the Lords would consider the former Acts for these several years by past and particularly that in March 1686 whereby the Lords nominate John Joisie for that year and declaired that if the Town did nominat in any time thereafter a Chyrurgeon-Apothecarie that the Lords would allow the Petitioners to choise and nominat their own Visitor as the last Act in June 1687. appointing Hugh Neilson to be Visitor for that year ensueing and to save the Lords from all furder trouble to declair that in all time coming that the Petitioners shall have liberty to Choise and nominat their own Visitor as in the said Petition at more length is conteained whilk Petition being Read in Audience of the saids Lords they ordained the Procurators of the Town of Edinburgh to see the said Petition and answer the same the next day peremptorie according whereinto the Procurators of the said Town of Edinburgh having got up the Petition
