Macqueen and his wife pursued Grant, their minister, for having said in public companies that they had perjured themselves at a Circuit-court, and for having, on that account, refused them admittance to the sacrament. The Court allowed a proof, and, on advising the same, found the minister liable to the pursuers in damages and expenses.
