DEESIDE BURNETTS: XIII. SIR THOMAS. 51 on either side, Burnet of Craigmyle and Gordon of Straloch, anxious to avoid bloodshed, endeavoured to bring about a peaceful settlement, and for that purpose had an interview with the Earl Marischal. Over con- fident in the success of the negotiation, the Barons disbanded their army ; and next day Aberdeen was occupied by the Earl Marischal, immediately followed by Montrose, their combined force numbering 6000 horse and foot, besides artillery. Montrose, who had obtained written evidence that the citizens were ready on the first opportunity to repudiate their accept- ance of the Covenant as having been obtained by force and fear, imposed on them a fine of 10,000 merks, and gave his soldiers free permission to pillage. A rumour having arisen of an invasion by sea of the King's party, the authorities were commanded to block the harbour by sinking ships on the bar ; but the order was recalled in consequence of a strong remonstrance made by a few of the nobles and gentry of the county and inhabitants of the burgh, one of the signatories being "Alexander Burnet younger of Leyis." On the 6th June, Aboyne, with a commission as King's lieutenant, arrived by sea with a body of followers at Aberdeen, which had been previously evacuated by Montrose. His army, of course, plundered the houses of citizens believed to be Covenanters. Several leading Covenan- ters were captured in the Mearns by his " outwatchis," among them James Burnet of Craigmyle, who, however, got his liberty on taking the oath of allegiance. Aboyne's army, marching out of Aberdeen, encamped on the I4th at Muchalls, which house, says the parson of Rothiemay, "was rifled by them the next day in ther returne ; and the night that they lay ther the cornes abused and anything else, as ther humors served them, whereupon they could lay their handes, for many of the countrye people were fledde, and ther best goods transported into the stronge holde of Dunnoter, not far distant." Next day a battle was fought near Stonehaven, where Montrose was victorious ; and four days later he was again master of Aberdeen, after a fierce struggle at the bridge of Dee. Montrose had a warrant from the Tables to give up the town to indiscriminate pillage, and reduce it to ashes, and while he hesitated to give effect to it, news arrived of the pacification of Berwick, on receiving which he restored the keys to the magistrates, and, after exacting a tribute, took his departure. The peace was of short duration, and the Covenanters preserved their
