These native Judges had been added for some time already, and there had been, and were to be, changes of the persons; but one hears most of Lockhart, Swinton, Sir James Learmont, Alexander Pearson, and Andrew Ker.

At hand, and helping much, though no longer now the great man he had been in Scotland, was Sir Archibald Johnstone of Warriston.
STATE OFFICERS:--Most of the state-offices of the old Scottish constitution were still kept up, but were held, of course, by the new Councillors and Judges.

The _Keepership of the Great Seal_ was given to Desborough; the _Signet_ or _Privy Seal_, with the fees of the old _Secretaryship_, to Lockhart; the _Clerk Registership_ to Judge Smith; &c.
TRUSTEES OF FORFEITED AND SEQUESTRATED ESTATES:--Under this name, by the Ordinance of April 12, 1654 (Vol.IV.pp.

561-562), there was a body of seven persons, about half of them English, looking after the rents and revenues of those numerous Scottish nobles and lairds the punishment of whom, for past delinquency, by total or partial seizing of their estates, had been one of the necessary incidents of the Conquest (Vol.IV.pp.

559-561).
