By act 26th, Parl. 1696, the schoolmaster in every parish must be appointed by advice of the heritors and minister of the parish. In a question betwixt the Earl of Strathmore, with all the considerable Heritors of the parish on one side, the Minister, with a multitude of small Feuars on the other, concerning the election of a schoolmaster in the parish of Kirriemuir, it was found, that those Feuars only are entitled to vote who pay cess, whether separately, or in a cumulo valuation.
