Halcraig reported Mr William Crawfurd of Daleagles against the Relict and Children of Lieutenant-general Douglass, for repetition of 2000 merks, paid to him as a fine for church irregularities. The question was, If the Session, or the Commission of Parliament for fines and forfeitures, was competent?
The Lords found it not competent before themselves. Then alleged,—They claimed it as indebite solutum, from the principles of the common law: but that medium concludendi was not libelled.
