The Wife and Children of John Anderson merchant in Greenock shewed a petition, that he had been in March last seized with a paralytick distemper, to such a height as to be entirely incapable of business; -that there were arrived ships consigned to him from foreign parts, and others expected, and if these were not timeously discharged, he would be liable in demurrage, and his other affairs were of a nature to require an immediate course to be taken; and therefore praying the Lords would appoint a factor for managing them.

Certificates were produced by the minister and surgeon of the place.

The Lords appointed the factor suggested in the petition, upon his finding caution.
