The town's charter gave them plainly the presentation of the music-master, who was also to be taken bound to officiate as precentor and session-clerk, for which a fund was thereby given them, and uniformly for a century one person officiated in all the three offices, except for I think about a year, when there was, so far as appeared, no music-master, but generally there was an act of the session, admitting him as precentor and their clerk;—and the Lords found, that the town had the right of presenting the reader and precentor; 2dly, That the kirk-session had the right of naming their own clerk; 3dly, That the town has the naming of the beadles. 17th December, Adhered, and refused a bill without answers.
