The Fraserburgh Harbour Commissioners were by Act of Parliament empowered to exact dues for “goods or merchandise that should be imported into the harbour or unloaded out of any ship or vessel coming into said harbour.” A vessel was cast ashore within the precincts of the harbour; certain timber, casks, empty barrels, brass, &c., forming part of the vessel, were brought into the harbour and landed there.— Held (affirming the Lord Ordinary's judgment) that no dues were exigible on such articles under the Act of Parliament.
