The Creditors of Alexander Crombie, vintner in Edinburgh, pursuing a roup and sale of his lodging in Edinburgh, on the statute of bankruptcy; the Lards found it proven to be worth yearly £1000 Scots of rent, and that it might be set at that rate; and valued it at twelve years' purchase; though sundry thought that price too high. And for the six market-crosses, the Lords would not make Edinburgh six several parish-kirks, (as it had so many churches,) but only to stand for one parish; and added the Canongate, West-kirk, two parishes in Leith, and that of Duddingston, to make the other five.
