1790–1791
Robert Home-Gordon of Embo, George M'Kay of Bigbouse, and other freeholders of Sutherland petitioned to expunge Captain Gordon Clunes from the county roll of freeholders, challenging the validity of his freehold qualification. Clunes maintained that his qualification was valid and not subject to expungement, prompting replies from the complainers and the adduction of proof by both parties concerning possession of wadset lands since Whitsunday 1789. The complainers subsequently sought to enlarge the proof and to object that Clunes's qualification was nominal and fictitious.AI-generated
