Lanark is the head burgh of the sheriffdom of Lanark, where denunciations are lawful against all persons dwelling within the shire; because, albeit there be two wards, yet there is no distinct jurisdiction, judge, nor clerk; but ane denunciation of ane man of the nether ward at Ruglen, will not be found null by way of exception, in respect of the custom to denounce oft times thereat.
