The offenders in the present case are reported to have been Hugh Cameron, son of Widow McPherson, Kirkton, Malcom McLeod, son of Alexr Mcleod, Kirkton, Donald Morison, son of Alexr Morison, Kirkton, and Alexr Campbell, son of John Campbell Correry. The offence took place on Sabbath the 14th October last. The Session resolved to summon the said parties to appear at their next meeting and considering that they have already refused to attend to a message this day sent them to appear before the Session, the clerk is hereby directed to furnish the Beadle with written summonses setting forth the crime wherewith they are charged. And he is also directed to instruct the Beadle to request their parents to attend at same time. The Session also agree to summon Donald son of Finlay MacRae Kirkton, he being acquainted with the circumstances. The Summonses being delivered so that the parties may have ten free days notice.

As this certificate bears that the charge against Matheson by Morrison had been examined into, and disproved by the oaths of the witnesses examined, and also, as it acquits him of other charges brought against him by Dugald McPhee, Galder, and John Campbell, Buorblich, and states the conviction of the Justices that the said Matheson’s character remains untouched, the Session see no cause, after this their minute, for going further into the case.

Details: It having been reported to the Kirk Session that an instance of gross profanation of the Lord’s Day has recently taken place within the grounds of the Parish in as much as several young men in Kirkton did employ this day in hunting sheep in the hills for the purpose of selecting those which they conceived to belong to themselves or parents, the Kirk Session resolves to take up the case, seeing that this is not a solitary instance, and that it is high time that steps be taken to prevent a practice so full of evil.
The offenders in the present case are reported to have been Hugh Cameron, son of Widow McPherson, Kirkton, Malcom McLeod, son of Alexr Mcleod, Kirkton, Donald Morison, son of Alexr Morison, Kirkton, and Alexr Campbell, son of John Campbell Correry. The offence took place on Sabbath the 14th October last. The Session resolved to summon the said parties to appear at their next meeting and considering that they have already refused to attend to a message this day sent them to appear before the Session, the clerk is hereby directed to furnish the Beadle with written summonses setting forth the crime wherewith they are charged. And he is also directed to instruct the Beadle to request their parents to attend at same time. The Session also agree to summon Donald son of Finlay MacRae Kirkton, he being acquainted with the circumstances. The Summonses being delivered so that the parties may have ten free days notice.

Address: Galder
Role: Compeared
Details: 'Compeared Donald Matheson Gaelic Schoolmaster and being interrogated adheres to his charge against Donald Morrison Pensioner Galder.

Details: The Session then proceeded to call before them in terms of Minute 21st Feb last, Donald Matheson, Gaelic Schoolmaster, and Donald Morrison, both residing at Galder, when the former appeared, and stated that he had, during the interval since last Meeting of Session, brought the matter between him and Donald Morrison before two Justices of the Peace, whose certificate he laid on the table. As this certificate bears that the charge against Matheson by Morrison had been examined into, and disproved by the oaths of the witnesses examined, and also, as it acquits him of other charges brought against him by Dugald McPhee, Galder, and John Campbell, Buorblich, and states the conviction of the Justices that the said Matheson’s character remains untouched, the Session see no cause, after this their minute, for going further into the case. Morrison did not appear and there was no appearance for him.

Role: accused, but did not compear
Details: Compeared Alexr Campbell Correry, Ewen Cameron and Malcom McLeod Kirkton, accused of gross profanation of the Sabbath, but it appearing from the united testimony of parties that Alexr Campbell was in no way concerned in the offence libelled, having only met those actually guilty when he was returning from church, the charge against him was dropped. The said Ewen Cameron and Malcom McLeod having ingenuously acknowledged their guilt and expressed much regret for having fallen into the sin charged against them, the Session agreed to warn them solemnly of the evil of which they have been guilty and to rebuke them for the same, which was accordingly done. And they were dismissed, but summoned apud acta as witnesses against Donald McRae and Donald Morrison, who have not compeared and who are accordingly ordained to be summoned to next meeting of Kirk Session, Donald McRae being accused of Sabbath breaking equally heinous with that of which the other parties have been accused and on the same day.
