See the prior part of this case, supra, page 352.
The debate betwixt the Town of Dundee and my Lord Halton, now Lauderdale, anent the patronage and presentation of the second minister there, being reported; the Lords preferred the Town's right upon their dotation, former presentations, and possession. Notwithstanding, he was patron of the parson; and the contrary seemed to be decided on the 18th of November 1680, for the Earl of Haddington against The Town of Haddington. But they differenced the cases: for the Town of Haddington's possession was not so pregnant and clear.
