In an advocation from the Sheriff of Selkirk the question was, Whether titulars of teinds whose tithes are valued in the cess-books ought to pay any proportion of the schoolmaster's salary? The schoolmaster founded on the 17th act 1645, where the heritors are ordered to be assessed in these salaries in proportion to their rents in stock and teind, and the act 26th 1696. The Duke on the other hand founded on the act 5th 1633 and the said 26th act 1696. We passed the bill.
