Appeal – The Court of Session having refused to put Mr. Haldane, (who had obtained the king’s letter of appointment, as an Ordinary Lord of Session,) upon trial for what the Court deemed want of due service, as an advocate, an appeal lay from the determination of the Court.
College of Justice – Mr. Haldane, who had been a member of the faculty of advocates for seven years, but who by being a member of parliament, and a commissioner for the forfeited estates, during great part of that time, did not then attend in the College of Justice, was nevertheless qualified to be a Lord of Session.
