In a question betwixt Irvine of Bruckley and Forbes of Thornton, which of them was duly elected collector of supply for the shire of Mearns, it was objected by Forbes, that Irvine's party had proceeded to name their Præses, or conveener, before qualifying themselves to the government, which he apprehended to be a plain nullity, no less than acting as Commissioners of Supply, without taking the oaths. This objection was repelled, and Bruckley's election found legal, conform to the directions of act 6th, Parliament 1693. See King.

 Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 153.
