Notwithstanding the late act, (1743) we proceeded to judge of a complaint by Roystoun, of his being unduly turned out of the rolls at last Michaelmas in his absence. 2do, We found the complaint competent, though no objection was made at the Michaelmas Court, because he was not present, and Fortrose, who only did object, was not now a complainer, in respect the meeting in their minutes in effect agreed to answer any such complaint. 3tio, We found the complaint duly served, though it was only against the preses of the meeting and the person who objected to Roystoun's being on the roll. 4to, We found the proceedings of the meeting void and null, and ordered him to be reponed, and would not hear the defenders to show cause why he ought not to be upon the roll. Vide inter eosdem No. 18.
