Short after the Convention of the Church, chanced that unhappy pursuit which John Gordon, 1Laird of Finlater, made upon the Lord Ogilvy, who was evil hurt, and was for a long time mutilate; The occasion was for certain Lands, and Rights, which old Finlater had resigned to the Lord, which he was pursuing by Law, and was in appearance to obtain his purpose; whereat, the said John, and his servants were offended, and therefore made the said pursuit, upon a Saturday, at night, betwixt nine and ten. The friends of the said Lord, were either not with him, or else not willing to fight that night, for they took strokes, but gave few that left marks.
