This volume comprises four legal documents pertaining to Reverend Allan McLean's case, begun in 1803, against the officers of state and feuars of the precincts of the Abbey of Dunfermline. The second document is incomplete. Having discovered that anciently there had been a manse, he claimed he had the right to be provided with a manse within these precincts. Unlike a previous minister, he succeeded, first in the Court of Session, and afterwards in the House of Peers, on an appeal by the heritors, after a litigation of ten years. His entitlement comprised a manse, offices, a glebe and pasturage for one horse and two cows.
