;^„g) on the authority of Barbour, that Robert, im- mediately after the successful issue of the battle of Baunockbum in 1314, had issued a proclamation by advice of his council, re- quiting all proprietors of lands in chief, or holding of the crown, to produce their rights ^vithin a year, under penalty of forfeiture.
That measure was obviously calculated for producing a certain revenue, to w...hich the crown and its ministers had an nnquestion* ably legal right ; for rendering the rights of land distinct, which had fallen into confu- sion and uncertainty through the revolution* ary changes of the state after the demise of Alexander; and for reclaiming to their duty those barons who still adhered to the Eng- lish interests, or forfeiting their possessions to the crown, by which the sovereign might be enabled to reward the patriotic services of his loyal adherents.
