Sir John Schaw having charged certain feuars in Pasley, for their proportion of his charges, as commissioner to the Parliament, upon the Act of Parliament 1661, “Declaring all the vassals of the king and prince, whether the temporality or spirituality, to be liable to the charges of commissioners to Parliament;” which the feuars suspend, on this reason,—That the foresaid Act is derogated by a posterior Act, restoring the bishops to be the third estate; so that they represent the whole ecclesiastical estate: The Lords found, That the bishops did only represent their own vassals; and that the suspenders, being only vassals of the abbacy of Pasley, not belonging to any bishoprick, were liable for their proportion.
