HESE seven following were sentenced and banished to West Flanders, who departed the kingdom, March 4, 1684: Thomas Jackson, George Jackson, James Forrest elder, James Forrest younger, John Coline, James Gourlay, [in Wodrow, Dennis Gilcreif.]

Gillies

[Wodrow says the above-named were before the Committee for Public Affairs, and in their joint testimony they relate that the Chancellor, after a long speech charging them with rebellious principles, declared they were banished to West Flanders, never to return under pain of death. In their testimony they vindicate themselves from the charge of disloyalty and rebellion, and profess their attachment to the Scriptures, Confession, and Covenants, against Popery, Prelacy, etc. John Coline has a separate testimony of his own, in which he gives the reason why he could not say "God save the king." He asked the committee to let him know the meaning of the words, and they told it signified an owning of his person, and government, and laws, and present actings. This, he says, satisfied him that he was right in refusing to utter them.-ED.]

FTERWARDS were banished to Carolina thirty, who were

transported in James Gibson's ship, called sometime Bailie Gibson in Glasgow, of whom it is observed, that in God's righteous judgment he was cast away in Carolina Bay, when he commanded in the "Rising Sun." They received their sentence, July 17, 1684. The names of such as subscribed the joint testimony are these: Matthew Machan, James M'Clintock, John Gibson, Gavin Black, John Paton, William Inglis, John Young, John Galt, John Edwards, Thomas Marshal, George Smith, William Smith, Robert Urie, John Buchanan, Thomas Brice, John Simon, Hugh Simon, William Simon, Archibald Cunningham, John Alexander, John Marshal.

[In May 27, 1684, the Council passed an act, granting prisoners to Walter Gibson, merchant in Glasgow, to be by him transported to America. On June 19, Sir William Paterson reported to the Council that twenty-two prisoners are in the tolbooth of Glasgow; and they are ordered to be transported in Walter Gibson's ship. Many, if not all of these, seem to have been shipped along with the twenty-one subscribers to the joint testimony against the king's supremacy and the renouncing of the Covenants above mentioned. The ship was commanded by Walter Gibson's brother, James, a person well known in Scotland at the time of the publication of the "Cloud of Witnesses" as the commander of the "Rising Sun," a ship of sixty guns, and the chief ship in the second squadron sent out to the ill-fated Darien settlement. When the settlement broke up, the "Rising Sun" returned homewards, and had reached as far as the Gulf of Florida, when a violent storm carried away the masts, shattered the boats, and compelled them, with the help of a jury mast, to make for Carolina. In ten days they reached Charleston, and lay at anchor until their guns were taken out so as to get over the bar, when a hurricane arose, and the ship and all on board perished, September 3, 1700.

Captain Gibson behaved with extreme harshness to the prisoners on the voyage. Their daily allowance of water was a mutchkin (less than an English pint), and an ounce and a-quarter of salt beef; and during the voyage they experienced all the horrors of what was known in the next century as the middle passage.—ED.]

HEREAFTER in July 19, 1684, John Mathieson, John

Crighton, James M'Gachen, John M'Chesnie, James Baird, were banished to New Jersey in America.

[Wodrow's date is June 19, 1684. "He says: At Edinburgh the Lords, by sentence, appoint James M'Gachen in Dalry, John Crighton in Kirkpatrick, John Mathieson in Closeburn, John M'Chesnie in Spittle, libelled for reset and converse with rebels, found guilty by their confession judicially adhered to, to be transported to the plantations."

John Mathieson survived the Revolution of 1688, returned home, and died Oct. 1, 1709. He wrote a testimony some years before his death, when he was under sore sickness and in expectation of his approaching end. John Calderwood of Clanfin published it in 1806 in his "Collection of Dying Testimonies," a volume now very
