the Reign of His present Majesty, for making and repairing the Road from the City of Glasgow, in the
County of Lanark, to Muirkirk, in the County of
Ayr, and from thence to the Confines of the said
County of Ayr towards Sanquhar, in the County of
Dumfries, and other Roads communicating therewith;
and for the more effectually repairing the said Roads,
and the Road from the Village of Gorbals and new
Bridge of Glasgow to the Chapel of Cambuslang, in
the said County of Lanark and Branches thereof, and
for making and repairing the Road from the said Chapel of Cambuslang till it joins the High Road leading
from Hamiltom by Burnbank towards Eaglesham, in
the County of Renfrew," was committed: "That
they had considered the said Bill, and examined the
Allegations thereof, which were found to be true; and
that the Committee had gone through the Bill, and
directed him to report the same to the House without
any Amendment."
Election of Peers for Scotland, Petition for Papers to be produced.
Upon reading the Petition of John Earl of Galloway,
John Earl of Stair, James Lord Somerville, and Francis
Lord Napier, setting forth, "That in the Petitions
which have been, severally, presented to Their Lordships in Behalf of the Petitioners relative to the late
Election and Return of Peers of Scotland, which Petitions Their Lordships have been pleased to refer to
the Committee of Privileges, the Petitioners have
alledged that Lord Kinnaird, who voted at the said
Election, and held the Proxies of the Earl of Dysart
and Lord Cranstoun, did not qualify as by Law required: that in Support of this Allegation, the Petitioners propose to prove to the said Committee,
that the said Lord Kinnaird did not take and subscribe the Oath of Allegiance, and that by Law he
ought to have taken and subscribed the same, in order to qualify himself to vote in his own Behalf,
and in that of the other two Lords whose Proxies he
held: that the said Oath of Allegiance was according to the established Practice subscribed by the other
Peers present at the said Election, on a Roll now
remaining amongst the Records of the said Election,
in the keeping of the Lord Clerk Registrar of Scotland;
that the Petitioners are informed and believe, that
the Title of Kinnaird is not subscribed to the said
Roll, but that the Title of Kinnoul is twice subscribed thereto, and as the Petitioners are informed
that it is intended to be alledged in Opposition to
their said Petition, that one of the said Subscriptions
of the Title of Kinnoul is in Truth the Subscription
of the Title of Kinnaird, the Petitioners apprehend
that this Fact will best be verified by the Production
of the original Roll, on which the said Oath was so
subscribed, in order that such Subscription may be
examined by the said Committee, and also by Production of the original Rolls, on which the other
Oaths taken and subscribed by the Peers present
at the said Election were subscribed by them, in order that the said Subscription to the said Oath of
Allegiance may be compared with the Subscription
of the Title of Kinnaird, to the others then taken
and subscribed by the said Lord Kinnaird: That in
the Petitions above mentioned, the Petitioners have
also alledged that the Certificate of the Qualification
of the Earl of Dysart, who voted at the said Election, is irregular, informal, defaced, and therefore
void; that in Support of this Allegation, the Petitioners propose to prove, that the Certificate produced at the said Election in order to certify that
the Earl of Dysart, who voted by Proxy at the said
Election, had taken the Oaths prescribed by Law,
has been erazed in such a Manner and in such material Parts thereof, as will, as the Petitioners are
advised, invalidate that Instrument, and that for the
Purpose of proving such Erazures, the Petitioners
apprehend that it will be necessary for them to produce, for the Inspection of the said Committee of Privileges, the said original Certificate now remaining
with the Lord Clerk Registrar of Scotland;" and
therefore praying, "That Their Lordships will be
pleased to order that the Lord Clerk Registrar of
Scotland do by himself, or his Deputies, bring up and
produce to Their Lordships, or to the said Committee, the original Rolls of the Subscriptions to the
four several Oaths subscribed by the Peers of Scotland, at the Election of Peers held on the 24th of July
last, and the Certificate delivered at the said Election,
purporting to be the Certificate, that the Earl of Dysart had taken the Oaths required by Law, to qualify him to vote at the said Election:"
It is Ordered, that the said Petition do lie on the
Table.
