This Minister pursues an augmentation; and the defence was, that the second Minister was originally established only of consent on a voluntary contribution by the town and heritors authorized by decreet of the Court of Commission in 1647 and 1650, and there fore could not pursue an augmentation, as was found in the case of Falkirk and Inveresk. The Lords in respect of the decreet of the Commission repelled the defence and found the pursuer entitled to an augmentation.
