John Leith was enrolled by the freeholders of Aberdeenshire at their Michaelmas meeting 1753. Sir Archibald Grant complained of the enrolment, and objected, That the claim lodged by Mr Leith did not set forth the precise sum at which his lands stood valued; but only that their valuation exceeded L. 400 Scots.
The Lords were of opinion, that it was not necessary to mention the precise sum in the claim, and therefore
“They dismissed the complaint.”
