At a meeting of the Privy Council held on 27 Mar 1612, a commission under the Signet was granted to Robert Munro of Fowlis, Alexander Gordon, brother to John Earl of Sutherland, John Munro of Limlair, George Munro of Tarlogie, and Andrew Munro of Novar, to convocate the lieges for the apprehension of two men charged with stealing "a fair dun ox of six year old" from George Munro of Tarrell, and bringing the alleged thieves before the Council to be delivered to the Justice for trial.
He was a member of the assize held in the tolbooth o Inverness on 4 Jun 1616, at which John, seventeenth Earl of Sutherland, was served heir to his father, Earl John. He was also a member of the assize in 1630 when Earl John was served heir to his three predecessors in the Earldom and estates of Sutherland.
On 28 Apr 1624, Robert received a commission under the Signet, along with Sir Donald Mackay of Strathnaver, Sir Alexander Gordon of Netherdale, Andrew Munro of Novar, and others, for the apprehension of several men who were put to the horn at the instance of Hector Munro of Balconie for failing to find caution "to underlie the law" for stealing ten oxen and a cow belonging to the said Hector, together with forty stones of cheese and twenty stones of butter on two different occasions out of his house at Letter.
