In a suspension, at the instance of the Freeholders of Linlithgowshire, against their Commissioners to the Parliament;—
The Lords found, That if the prorogations and recesses of Parliament be for a considerable time, so that the Commissioners do or may go home, the Commissioners should not have their fees or charges during the same. 2. That if the prorogation be for a short time, and the Commissioners, having their residence at a little distance, in Edinburgh, or Linlithgowshire, do or may go home, they ought not to have fees during that time. 3. If there be Articles sitting during that time, and they do not go home, though they be not upon the Articles, they should have their fees; because they are concerned to know and inform themselves, what is in agitation in the articles.
