A bill of suspension and liberation was reported, wherein sundry questions, What is our law with respect to colliers? occurred;—particularly whether every collier in Scotland must be some body's property? 2dly, Whether being out of a coalmaster's service infers liberation from him? 3dly, Whether a coalmaster when his coal is given up can bind his colliers against their will, to whom he pleases? &c. &c. They passed the bill, and probably these questions, will come again before us.
