In a suspension betwixt Mr Patrick Lindsay and the Minister of Brichen, who charged the suspender for payment of £22, as for the third of the treasury of Brichen, to which benefice the said Mr Patrick was provided; and who suspended upon this reason, viz. that Chapters are restored, by the Acts of Parliament I617 and 1621, to all their rents; and so it is, that this benefice of the treasury is one of the chapter-dignities of the bishoprick of Brichen, and so ought not to pay any of the stipend to the minister of Brichen, but should be paid by the bishop;—this reason was rejected, and the minister's decreet and charges thereon sustained, notwithstanding of the Acts restoring the chapters; which Acts were found, as the words thereof bear that the said restitutions were made in favours of ministers who should be provided to any of the said chapter-benefices and rents, and this suspender was not a minister, and therefore the Acts could not militate for him.
