There being a decreet of the dean of guild of Inverness against an unfreeman, unlawing him L.300 for trading; and a suspension and reduction being raised of the same, upon that reason, viz. that the suspender dwelt without the town's jurisdiction; and that by the acts of Parliament, unfree traders; may be charged to desist, and to find caution to that effect; but the town or dean of guild cannot proceed to process or unlaw them, there being no such act of Parliament to warrant it; but only to charge (as said is) and to confiscate the goods. The reason was found relevant.
