An order similar to that granted in the cause, Earl of Panmure, &c. against Commissioners of Supply of Forfarshire, No 90. p. 8675, was given upon the application of the Duke of Gordon, 18th December 1772, No 379. p. 7674, Voce Jurisdiction, in consequence of which order, the Commissioners met on the day appointed, but the majority, after stating certain objections, protested against farther procedure. The minority, however, went on and made a division, and the Court of Session found they were authorised so to do, in respect of the refusal of the majority. See Appendix.
