DONALD DOW CAMERON, in Milntown of Ashintilly, Strathardle, aged
forty-four years, married; who being solemnly sworn, and purged of
partial council, by Duncan Campbell, sworn interpreter aforesaid, and
by him interrogate, Depones, That in the summer after he heard that a
serjeant in Braemaar was amissing, whose name he thinks was Davidson,
or something like that, Angus Cameron, a preceding witness, told the
deponent that he had seen Duncan Clerk the panel, and another man along
with him, shoot a man, like a gentleman or an officer, upon a hill in
Braemaar: That upon this the deponent told the said Angus Cameron that
he did not want to hear more any such stories, nor to have such a
report raised of the country; and the deponent at the same time advised
Angus to keep the thing secret, and to speak no more on the subject.
_Causa scientiae patet._ And this is the truth, as he shall answer to
God. This deposition signed by the sworn interpreter aforesaid.

solemnly sworn, purged of malice and partial council, examined and
interrogate by the sworn interpreter aforesaid, Depones, That the
panel, Duncan Clerk's father, his house is within less than a quarter
of a mile of the deponent's house: That upon the afternoon of that day
in which Serjeant Davies was amissing, as he thinks, or at least the
afternoon of the day following, he cannot be altogether positive which,
he saw Duncan Clerk, panel, come from the hill to his father's house,
with a gun in his hand, and a sort of grey plaid about him: That he
does not remember that he saw him about his father's house before that
time in the afternoon of that day. _Causa scientiae patet._ And this is
the truth, as he shall answer to God.
