Subject_Interdict.—
Bill of suspension and interdict against the Commissioners of Police of Glasgow applying any of the funds under their control to opposing in Parliament a bill promoted by a company for supplying the city with water, or including any sums so applied in any assessment to be imposed by them. Interim interdict was granted on ordering answers. On advising the bill, with answers, the Lord Ordinary passed the bill, but recalled the interdict, adding the subjoined note. *
_________________ Footnote _________________
* “Whatever redress the suspenders may ultimately be found entitled to, is sufficiently secured to them by the bill being passed, and nothing has been stated to justify the summary superseding of the commissioners in the exercise of their statutory discretion, by maintaining the interdict, which was granted, in the first instance, until answers could be lodged.”
Morrison, &c. reclaimed, in so far as the interdict was recalled, but
The Court adhered.
Solicitors: J. Mowbray and A. Howden, W.S.— Campbell, and M'Dowall, S.S.C.—Agents.
