Walter Forsyth having pursued Margaret Steedman before the Justices of Peace of Fife, as representing her husband, upon the passive titles, for payment of L. 29 Scots, the Lords advocated the cause upon this ground, That the Justices of Peace are not competent to judge in actions upon the passive titles, except for small debts expressly allowed by the act of Parliament 1661, to be pursued before them.
