E. Hay's decreet-arbitral having provided that no member of a corporation of Edinburgh, having a benefice or lucrative office from the town or trade, should have any vote in the corporation; and the Town of Edinburgh, instead of paying annually to the Surgeons of the Poor, their account of medicines having altered the method, and settled 600 merks yearly on the Poor's Surgeon, and given the office to William Mitchell; the Lords found that he was within the terms of the decreet-arbitral, and could not vote; but afterwards they repelled an objection against Mr Monro, as falling under the same clause, as being Professor of Anatomy in the University, and his salary paid out of the Town's gift of two pennies on the pint of ale.
