                   Lawman of Orkney which was a Chief legal officer of Orkney, appointed and paid by the Crown, and often used by the King in an administrative capacity.  A Lawman, or "lawrikman" was a member of a Baillie Court, which was a "parish or island court with powers delegated by the chief magistrate to deal with petty crime, agricultural management, weights and measures, the maintenance of a watch against threatened invasion, and other administrative matters."

John Cragy affixed his seal to the celebrated Diploma at Kirkwall on 12 June 1443.  The "Diploma" was a carefully researched genealogy of the Sinclair/St. Clair Family, used to prove the validity of their title to the Earldom of Orkney and their descent from the first Norse earls (jarl).
