In a competition of creditors, an objection was laid against a decree of furthcoming, that it was pronounced by the Magistrates of Edinburgh against inhabitants of the Canongate, over whom they had no jurisdiction.——The Lords were of opinion, That the Bailies of Edinburgh had no jurisdiction over the inhabitants of the Canongate; yet they sustained the decreet upon use and wont, the Bailies having been in the constant custom of exercising such a jurisdiction; but they concerted an act of sederunt, discharging such jurisdiction in time coming. See Appendix.
