Ninety hogsheads of lintseed being seized and condemned by the Justices of Peace of Stirling as insufficient for sowing, and imported contrary to the act 13th Geo. II., a bill of suspension was offered for that, 1st, The Justices were sole judges only where such lintseed is offered for sale; 2do, It is only in that event that any penalty or forfeiture is enacted, and though importation be prohibited, yet neither penalty nor forfeiture is annexed; 3tio, Offered proof that the seed was fit for sowing by making the experiment, though it was discoloured by a tedious voyage from Holland: But we found the bill of suspension not competent, and therefore refused it.
