[BKG working note: I am now evaluating whether SJ is referring to James III, VIII (the "old" Stuart pretender) The quote could refer to his father, James II, being legally deprived of his lands. I have looked at a number of James III "Declarations" without finding the quote. I have not been able to locate the July 20, 1715 Declaration, referred to in the October 25, 1715 Declaration as the "Declaration of 20th of July last." See http://www.jacobite.ca/documents/index.htm#3 for a list of James III documents.]
