The debate between the Town and Trades of Burntisland decided. The Lords found the Magistrates not obliged to give the Trades seals of causes, or to erect them into deaconries; but allowed the Magistrates yearly to name visitors or overseers for every trade, to be accountable to them; and appoint the Trades to make the third part of the Town-Council, viz. seven;—the merchants, maltmen, and seamen, making the other two parts.
