An action at Landes’ instance being pursued before the Bailies of the Canongate, being the Bailies of the regality of Brughton, against Dick, for deforcing of their officer, in execution of a precept of poinding, direct by themselves, and therefore to have tint his moveables, the one half thereof to pertain to the pursuers, the other half to the King, or Lord of the regality; this cause was advocated, because inferior Judges were not Judges competent to actions of this nature and consequence. See Jurisdiction.
