Justices of Peace of Berwickshire anent the place of meeting delayed till Tuesday,—26th June 1741.
This delayed till this day, 30th June, to the end that the ancient commissions in 1617 and 1661 might be produced, which, at least those in 1617, undoubtedly would have determined the point. But it being now reported that none of these commissions were to be found, the Lords found that the head burgh was the place where the Quarter Session were to meet, and therefore suspended the order.
