A Pension of 40 merks per annum being established by an act of a Town Council in favour of an Advocate, a process for payment was raised against the present Magistrates by his Representative. The defence was, Lawyers' and Physicians' honoraries are presumed to be constantly paid, neither is it usual to report discharges in cases of this nature;—which the Lords repelled. See Appendix.
