1st, Mr. ROBERT LESLIE. From a MS. in the Advocates' Library, it appears that he had only 100 merks a year. He died before 15'71. 2d, Mr. DAVID CUNNINGHAM. The same MS. shows that he was paid by the Earl of Glencairn, and besides had 40 merks allowed him for service performed at Lanark. 3d, Mr. JAMES HAMILTON, approved 23d September 1624. (" Records of the Presbytery of Lanark," printed by the Abbotsford Club.)

On the 8th February 1638, the introduction of the service book was discussed in the Presbytery, and there was on that day a "disruption," the majority having declared their hostility to the "ill mumbled mass."

The exact date cannot be given, as during the crisis of the Revolution, the Presbytery Records were not kept. He was the first minister of Lesmahagow after the Revolution, and died 18th October 1733. Struthers, in his " History of Scotland," narrates some particulars regarding him. He was educated as a Cameronian, and maintained by the " Societies" for a considerable time at his studies at Embden.
