A baron having granted a charter to his Burgh of Barony, with power to them to chuse their own Bailies, whom he appoints and declares to be his Baron-Bailies within the bounds of the Burgh; the Lords found, that by this grant no more was intended than a subordinate jurisdiction, such as is competent to vassals, which the incorporation of the Burgh is; consistent always with the accumulative jurisdiction in the superior. See Appendix.

Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 492.
