    PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY SECOND SERIES VOL. VI SELECTIONS FROM THE RECORDS OF THE REGALITY OF MELROSE VOL. I November 1914 V SELECTIONS FROM THE RECORDS OF THE REGALITY OF MELROSE 1605-1661 Edited from the Original Volumes in the Register House, Edinburgh, and in the hands of Mr. James Curle, by CHARLES S. ROMANES, C.A. VOLUME I EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable for the Scottish History Society 1914 C O N T E N T S INTRODUCTION . RECORDS OF THE REGALITY COURT OF MELROSE INTRODUCTION The Records of the Regality Court of Melrose dealt with in these volumes bring before us the operation of the system of heritable jurisdiction in Scotland at a time when its powers were waning. Little or no trace has come down to us of the earlier proceedings of the Court in which the Abbot, doubtless invested with larger powers, dealt with the temporal affairs of the Monastery, but the system of government which is illustrated in these pages is one which ran its course through many centuries, and its traces are not yet obliterated in Scotland. It is therefore appropriate that we should give a brief intro- ductory survey of its origin and its gradual development down to its practical extinction in 1747. Towards the end of the third century of our era we note the earliest movement into the Roman Empire of these bands of invaders of northern or eastern origin, whose incursions grew in frequency and magnitude as the foundations of the older civilisation decayed, until they not only overwhelmed Italy, but, gradually moving across central Europe, obtained a hold on Britain.

Thanks to all volunteers and Mr D Seed for providing a straw bale. 4 LOTHIAN AND BORDERS POLICE WPC Rachael Mackey and WPC Karen Parker attended to hear our concerns regarding speeding through Gavinton. In July there had been a speeding check in the village and one person had been caught Due to pressure on resources manpower was concentrated on accident or crash hotspots to ascertain why these occurred and as no accidents had been reported, Gavinton was not considered a problem. It was suggested that any concerns should be sent to the Police Traffic Department at Hawick, including the use of Main Street as a short cut to Duns industrial estate, especially early in the morning, and also the large number of children in the village.
