The question was, Whether Lord Braco having purchased lands held burgage, and the Magistrates refusing to receive him, there lies summary complaint against them to this Court in order to charge them? and we appointed the bill to be intimated and the Magistrates to be served with a copy.
The Lords in this case, in respect the Town compeared and did not deny that resignation was made and accepted, thought the summary application competent, and found the Town bound to grant a charter in terms of the last charter of resignation in 1675, and granted warrant for letters to charge them accordingly; though if no resignation had been accepted we had great difficulty.
