I. That the abolishing heritable Jurisdictions and Offices of Inheritance, instead of compleating the Union, will tend to dissolve it, and that the restoring them to the Crown is against our Constitution. II. That no Equivalent or Satisfaction in Money can be assessed or accepted of for the Jurisdictions in question. III. That the Regulations touching Sheriff and Steward-Deputes, and their Courts, and the inhibiting Advocations from them, are attended with Inconveniences. IV. That to raise and discuss Suspensions before the Circuit Court is inept, not answering the Design, and against the Treaty of Union. V. That an Attempt to introduce a Conformity betwixt our Circuit Courts, as to Cognizance in Civil Matters, and the Assizes or Commissions of nifi prius in England is vain, and against our Constitution. VI. That the Tendency of this Bill is to undermine the British Constitution, and advance the Jacobite Interest.
