The Town of Edinburgh against Sir William Binny, about the property of a piece of waste ground lying at the Timber-hoof at Leith. He founded on his charter, bounding him to the sea-flood. They contended, that, if they had not dyked it out, the sea flowed up to the ground he claimed; seeing, littus maris est quatenus maximus fluctus hibernus excurrit.
The Lords appointed a visitation of the ground, and named some of their number for that effect.
