The Mackintoshes were in dispute with the Earl of Moray who had managed to obtain a Commission of Lieutenancy allowing him to punish the Mackintoshes and impose a large fine on the Burgh of Inverness for aiding them. The year after he became Provost, Forbes went to petition the King against the fine, complaining that the Earl 'sought utterlie to subvert to the desolation thereof, in all ages thereafter, that anciente Burgh, whose foundation was long before the birth of Christ'.
