With a' her maids before her As soon as they saw her weel-far'd face, Tiny east their glamourie owre her." According however to another tradition the lover was not a gipsy "laddie" who thus bewitched her, but Sir John Faa, of Dunbar, to whom she had been attached before her marriage with the "solemn Earl." Anyhow, having been recaptured, she <£ at or near Maybole. The story is altogether mythical, and is discredited by a letter written shortly after her death by her husband, speaking of her with great respect and tenderness. ( u ) Margaret his 1st da.

See also "Robertson," (p. 216,) as to a claim of privilege of Peerage made " by the Ladies Hofdmgton and Cassillis" for keeping gaming houses, disallowed by the House of Lords 29 April 1745. This probably refers to (the abovenamed Lady) the Dowager Countess, who lived some 18 months after this date, though possibly to the then Earl's wife. (°) The marriage is not reg. at St. Andrew's, Holborn (where " Fly House " was, presumably, situated) but at St. Martin's-iu-the-Felds, Midx., on 21 July [sic] 1697, though there stated to have taken place on IS June [sic| ; the entry (with some others from IS Jan. 1696/7 to 19 Aug. 1697) being on flyleaf of " Vol. of Marriages 1695- 1710 " and relating to persons " married out of our pariah, but pay'd the dues which is ten shillings." In it he is described us " John, lord Kenedy."
