Excerpt from The Chiefs of Grant, Vol. 1: Memoirs That the lands referred to were those of Mulben is manifest from another notarial document, which narrates that the Laird instructed William Moir, his Chamberlain in the lands of Mulben and others, to assemble the tenants of these lands, with their ploughs and horses, to labour, sow, and harrow as much of the town and mains of Mulben as could be done without their own loss, and also to go immediately and sow such red land as was already laboured. Taking a notary and wit nesses with him, the Chamberlain proceeded to a field of red land on the mains of Mulben, with a sowing sheet about his neck and a supply of corn. As he was entering and beginning to sow, Alexander Grant in Mulben demanded his authority and warrant for coming prepared to sow that land. The Chamberlain produced his warrant, and requested the notary to read it, when Alexander Grant declared he would not permit him or any man, in the Laird of Grant's name, to sow that land until all things in the condition were performed, both by word and writ, and especially till every one of the papers against him in the Laird of Grant's hands were delivered up to him to be cancelled.
