Two persons had got their sasines recorded at six o’clock afternoon of 15th September 1779. The meeting for election was held on the 14th September 1780, but being prolonged till past mid-night, these gentlemen presented their claim at three o'clock in the morning of the 15th. The meeting refused to enroll, as the full year had not expired. Urged in a complaint, That in the eye of law, dies incæptus pro completo habetur.—The Lords found the freeholders did wrong, and ordered the claimants to be added to the roll. See Appendix.
