December.—The town of Edinburgh using quartering upon the deficients in the excise of the ale brewed, Mr George Campbell, and some other brewers at the Yard-heads of Leith, presented a bill of suspension; alleging, by the act of Parliament, 1661, anent the excise, they have no power to quarter, but only to use such like execution as they have against them who pay their common-good, viz. imprisoning. The Lords waved to decide it, and advised the town of Edinburgh to agree.
