The town of Kirkcaldy acquired the Bailiary of Regality so far as extended to the limits of the town, from Earl Dunfermline, heritable Bailie of Dunfermline, and got a charter of resignation from the Crown, and a confirmation in Parliament. Found that thereby the town is not dissolved from the Regality, only the town are heritable Bailies in it; and sustained an objection to an inhibition against an inhabitant of the town, that it was not executed at Dunfermline, the head burgh of Regality, but at Cupar, the head burgh of the shire; and repelled the answer of communis error.
