Though Justices of Peace may at their Quarter Sessions adjourn to any other time and place, yet in Scotland they cannot appoint the Quarter Sessions to meet first at any other than their usual place of meeting; and the Justices of Benvickshire, at least a meeting of them, having by an order made such an alteration, the Lords, upon full deliberation, passed a bill of suspension of that order, and at discussing the suspension, they suspended it simpliciter. (See Dict. No. 319. p. 7602.)
