The estates of parliament, taking into their consideration the supplication of Sir Dougal Campbell of Auchinbreck showing that the parliament by their act of 1 March 1645 had granted and appointed the sum of 10,000 merks Scots to be paid to him for his subsistence and present help upon the grounds and in manner specified in the act, and that he has been altogether formerly disappointed of any payment of the same, and therefore desiring assignment for the said sum out of the last £150,000 sterling payable by England to this kingdom or that some other effectual course may be taken for his real and ready payment, as the supplication bears; the said estates of parliament (without prejudice to the supplicant anent his former right and benefit thereof until his payment of the sum above-written) do hereby give and grant right and assignment to the said Sir Dougal Campbell of Auchinbreck for the said sum of 10,000 merks Scots out of the last £100,000 sterling due and payable by the parliament and kingdom of England to this kingdom, which sum of 10,000 merks Scots the estates ordain to be paid to the said Sir Dougal Campbell, or to any having his power and warrant, to receive the same. And for that effect the estates of parliament give hereby precept and warrant for payment thereof to him or any having his power, upon his or their discharge to be granted upon the said 10,000 merks Scots, whose discharge upon the receipt thereof the estates declare shall be a sufficient exoneration for that sum to the payers thereof and all others interested and who are or may be concerned therein.
