The manuscript explains that in 1795, Petrus Polfer petitioned the Assembly to challenge the rights of the original proprieters of the Manor of Livingston. After investigating the charges, the Assembly concluded that the proprieter's had been in possession of the Manor for over 100 years, and were the rightful proprieters. The manuscript therefore declares that the prayer of the petitioner ought not to be granted.
