In the case of the Town of Abirdene with some of their Burgesses, it was queried if towns had power to stent, since that seemed only to be the power of King and Parliament. Yet the Lords found they had, both in regard of their possession and use to do it, and that there were some acts about it. Vide supra, December 1672, No. 381, Town of lnvernesse and Forbes of Culloden. See 20th November 1678, Wishaw and Lundie.
