It is alleged by some, that regalities have power of repledgiation in civil things, as well as in criminals. Others deny it. The towns of Dumbar and Hadington have clear clauses in their charters, exeming their burgesses from the sheriff, and empowering them in all causes to repledge from him; see them, supra, No. 551, § 4. Yet the regality of Kirkliston, now disponed by my Lord Winton to Hop-toun, claims the casualities of single escheats; see Hadington, 26th February, 1622 and Earl of Winton.
