Hailes. This is the most critical of all objections. When there is a page second marked, a page first is virtually marked; for primus est quem nemo præcedit.

President. This is a good critical answer to a critical objection.

Coalston. I think this is a better answer,—that the Act of Sederunt 1756 is erroneous: That act ought to be amended.

On the 14th February 1771, “the Lords repelled the objection, and ordered Colliestown to be added to the roll.”

N.B. Colliestown craved to be restored to his former place on the roll; but this the Lords would not grant, as he claimed on new titles.
