As, by the forms of Parliament, no petition of appeal is receivable at a meeting of adjournment, and not for dispatch of business; the publishers of the Edinburgh Review, against whom the Schoolmaster of Bathgate had obtained decree for damages, applied to the Lords, by bill of suspension, praying thai execution might be stopt until Parliament met for dispatch of business; and that they had thereby an opportunity to bring it under review, which it was their intention to do. The Lords, 1st August 1776, upon a verbal report of the Lord Ordinary on the Bills, refused the bill unanimously.
