The Bailie was sometimes styled Chamberlain ; but it is probable that the duties of the office were actually performed by one bearing the title of Chamberlain, either as deputed by the Bailie, or appointed by the Abbot and chapter. The duties of the Chamberlain, like those of the Sacrist, Cellarer, and some other offices, were generally, if not always, performed by a monk. 4. The TERRARIUS appears to have been a land steward. He is only once mentioned, viz. In a contract bearing the early date ...of 1240, betwixt the Abbot and SUBORDINATE OFFICERS OF ABBEY. 173 Alexander Cumin Earl of Buchan. One part of his duties was to keep a " Terrar" or rent book for the Abbey lands. 5. The SACRISTAN (now shortened to sexton) or vestry keeper, was an officer to whom certain rents were made payable, from the above-mentioned date of 1240 till 1534. In 1242 it is stated that an oxgate of land beside the Mill of Conveth, near Luther, had been given to the Sacrist of Aberbrothock, in the Eleemo- synary, for sustaining a light at the altar of St Mary.
