The Lords found (1st July) that the Justices of Peace ought to have access to the Court-House. The reason was that it was a part of the Tolbooth, which is the King's House.
The Lords (22d July) varied the words of their interlocutor of 1st instant, and found that the Justices of Peace ought to have access to the Town Court-House at all seasonable times for holding Justice of Peace Courts.
