The Lords thought, that the Convener and his brethren, though not a court of law, might judge in the first instance whom they would or would not allow to sit with them; but 2do, subject to the review of the Magistrates. 3tio, They thought a Corporation might subsist though reduced to one, therefore the Convener and his brethren of Ayr having found the Incorporation of Skinners extinct, because reduced to one, and excluded that one from sitting with them, the Magistrates reversed their act and fined them in a fine and expenses. Upon a suspension of this decreet, the Lords found the Convener and his brethren did wrong in excluding John Campbell from a vote as Deacon of the Skinners, and found that the Magistrates have a right of review; and therefore found the letters orderly proceeded for reponing the said John Campbell; but suspended simpliciter as to the fine and expenses.
