The question was upon the import of the act 7th Geo. II. anent a minority separating from a majority of the Council at an annual election: Whether Haswell and the others of his side separating from the rest on the 15th September fell under the act, and consequently voided Haswell's own election, and even inferred a large penalty on each of them? The Lords found it fell not under it, and therefore repelled that objection to Haswell's election, unanimously except Kilkerran.
