[Falconer, No. 166.]
In this case, the President and Lord Elchies declared it as their opinion, that, where the Crown granted a warrant for a poll-election in a burgh, without requiring a report to be made to the King, (which sometimes happened,) in that case the Court of Session had jurisdiction to cognosce upon the poll, because
none but the King’s judges can determine whether the directions in the warrant for the poll have been complied with.
