A Lawful child born in Tranent parish by a soldier's wife, who had staid there some time after he was broke, and afterwards dropped and exposed by her in Inveresk parish, whose Session maintained it sometime, and then sued the Kirk-Session of Tranent to take the child on the 74th act, 6th Parl. James VI. &c.;—the Lords found that no action lay against the parish of Tranent to maintain this child.(see Dict. No. 2. p. 10552.)
