Pitmedden, being this week on the Bills, reported the case of an advocation given in by the Town of Paisley against the Sheriff of Renfrew, craving a general advocation of all actions that should be pursued against any of their inhabitants before the Sheriff's Court; because they were expressly exemed by their charter in 1448, given them by King James Iv. with all the privileges of the burghs and abbacies of Dumfermline, Newburgb, and Arbroath; and they had a declarator of their exemption depending before the Lords.
The Lords refused a general advocation, as unusual; but, when they should be pursued, ordained them to give in special advocations of each particular action, and the Lords would consider them.
Yet I see a general relaxation against all hornings quoad the effect of a service, granted to the Earl of Crawfurd, in Dury, 19th June 1630.
