Captain Edward Bird of Ford against James Justice of Easter-Crighton, being a debate about a seat in the kirk. The Lords remitted it back to the presbytery of Dalkeith, to review their own sentence, and to do therein what they should find just. But the Lords did look upon this as a civil interest, wherein the church was not sole judge, but if they wronged any, their sentence might be rectified.
