On the claim of Major James Dalrymple of Nunraw, Bailie of the Monastery of Haddington, it being found he was only a Baron Bailie, it was pleaded, That bailiaries over church lands were not regulated by the act, and to continue, but abolished, and therefore entitled to a recompence; for that the baronial jurisdiction was only to continue in proprietors over their own lands.
The Lords found the claimant not entitled to a recompence.
