James Turner, cabinet-maker, gives in a bill of suspension against Mr Annand, dean of Edinburgh, and his Kirk-session, for imprisoning him upon a bond he had given to forbear one Widow Biggar's company, with whom he had conversed scandalously, and yet continued therein; as also refused to satisfy for sundry fornications. He pretended, that, these being before the late act of indemnity, they were all pardoned.
Answered,—Kirk-censures and satisfaction for scandals could not be included therein, else all church discipline should be cast loose.
My Lord Drumcairn repelled the reason, and found the letters orderly proceeded.
