Campbell of Shawfield had been enrolled as apparent heir to his grandfather, a freeholder of the county of Lanark; and at the Michaelmas meeting in 1773, he, without lodging a new claim, moved that his title to stand upon the roll should be restricted to certain lands, which, from the proceedings of the Commissioners of Supply, appeared to be sufficient to constitute a freehold qualification. The freeholders having granted his request, a complaint was given in to the Court of Session against their judgment. The Court found the complaint incompetent.
