A person who had qualified to the Government several times since 1745, and once particularly as Baron Bailie to one Gentleman, and lodged his certificate of his having done so in the Sheriff-Court of Aberdeen in terms of the jurisdiction act, was afterwards employed as Baron Bailie by another Gentleman and neglected to qualify again, for which being sued the Sheriff fined him in the statutory fine of L.10, which he suspended, because he had already qualified as Baron Bailie to another Gentleman and lodged his certificate. The question was reported to us by Lord Minto, and we suspended the letters simpliciter, renit. President. 20th February, Adhered, and refused a bill without answers.
