This case is reported in Fac. Col. (Mor. 10,571.) Lord Kilkerran's note of it is as follows :—
“March 3, 1757.—The Lords found, that the parish of Inveresk being the known place of the person's birth, the said parish of Inveresk are liable to her maintenance.
The Court were of opinion, that whenever the place of the person's birth was known, that parish in which the person was born was liable to his maintenance.
But there was a speciality in this case, which prevented a general discussion on that point, that it did not appear from the fact, as stated in this case, that the person's residence in this case could be said to have been within the parish of Tranent.”
