Ninety hogsheads of lintseed imported from Holland being seized and condemned by the Justices of the Peace of Stirlingshire as insufficient for sowing, and imported contrary
to the act 13th Geo. II., and a bill of suspension being offered, for that the Justices are only made judges for such seed as offered to sale; 2dly, That it is only in that event that any penalty is imposed, but neither penalty nor forfeiture on the bare importation; 3dly, That the seed was discoloured by a tedious passage, but offered to prove by making the experiment that it was sufficient even for sowing. But the Lords found the bill not competent before them and therefore refused it. But the President thought the Quarter Sessions might yet receive an appeal.
