The Ordinary on the bills reported a bill of suspension, presented by certain burghers, inhabitants of the town of Kirkaldy, shopkeepers, sailors, weavers, masons, wrights, coopers, smiths, &c. of the sentence of the Justices of the Peace, ordering them out to work at the highways, or to pay 1s. 6d. for each day's absence ; and the Lords directed him to pass the bill as to sailors, who go upon foreign voyages or coast-ways, but not as to fishers, or those who ply in passage-boats ; and to refuse the bill as to these and the whole other suspenders.
