The Lords thought the market cross of Edinburgh a market place in the construction of law, and therefore in the Earl of Rosberry's case, they found
it proven, that after the disposition quarrelled, he was at the market cross of Edinburgh in market time of day, and walked there a considerable time unsupported, and therefore in regard there is no proof of supportation in his coming to or going from the said market place, repelled the reason of reduction; although his physician and surgeon proved, that on that very day the disease of which he died was upon him.
