Farm Leases in Maryculter and Fetteresso

FARMS AND CROFTS TO LET.

The following POSSESSIONS, belonging to WILLIAM GORDON, Esq. of Fyvie, in the parishes of Maryculter and Fetteresso, are to be let for 19 years, entry immediately, viz.

THE Farm of EASTSIDE, lately possessed by David and George Esson.

That Part of the Farm of WESTSIDE, as lately occupied by Alex. Middleton.

The Croft of GREENS of CRYNOCH, as lately occupied by John McDonald.

AND,

The Two Crofts on ROTHNICK, parish of Fetteresso, as lately occupied by Andrew Leiper.

These Lands are susceptible of much improvement - the soil is in general good; and to industrious tenants the Proprietor will afford suitable encouragement.

Should tenants prefer it, the Farm of Westside will be divided into smaller Possessions.

These lands will be let at the House of Maryculter, on Monday the 3d of February next, at 11 o'clock; and in the mean time, application may be made, for further particulars, to Chas. Chalmers, Advocate in Aberdeen; and Charles Raitt, Overseer at Maryculter, will point out the boundaries.

JUSTICE OF PEACE COURT, BANFF

John McDonald, at Hillhead of Morange, in the parish of Inveraven, was convicted, in a Justice of Peace Court held at Banff on the 5th curt. of having set gins, or snares, in parcels of corn, on the moor adjoining to his house, to decoy and hang game, and sentenced to pay a penalty of L. 100 Scots, in terms of the statute 1594, cap. 210; and failing payment of that sum within eight days, to be imprisoned in the Tolbooth of Banff till payment thereof: an example which, it is expected, will deter others from using such unlawful and murderous engines for the destruction of game in future.
