It ordained that he should enjoy all the lands, etc., which he and his father were possessed of since his restitution in 1585, and ' past memorie of man before the said banishment and forfeiture.' Lord Jedburgh had, however, impoverished the estates, part of them having been acquired by Lord Lothian."
