The bailies of a burgh may not be judges to the transferring of a decreet given by the dean of guild ofthat same burgh, because the jurisdiction of the dean of guild is different from that of the bailies. Notwithstanding, it was thought by the most part of the Lords at the same time, that the bailies of a burgh, or any other inferior judge, may be judge to the transferring of a decreet given before that same judge.
