In a reduction of the fiars of East Lothian, 1mo, Because of their exorbitancy; 2do, Because not struck by a jury impannelled according to the prescription of the act of sederunt 21st December 1723, it was objected, there is no reduction competent in the nature of the thing of Sheriff fiars, which are nothing else, but a return made by the Sheriff, as the King's officer, into the King's court of Exchequer, of what he finds to be the reasonable price of grain for that year, which is not matter of jurisdiction at all to be subject to the review of a superior court. The Lords, notwithstanding, found this matter subject to a review, and sustained themselves judges. See Appendix.
