Observations upon a bill, entituled, An act for taking away, and abolishing the heritable jurisdictions in that part of Great Britain called Scotland, and for restoring such jurisdictions to the Crown; and for making more effectual Provision for the Administration of Justice throughout that Part of the united Kingdom, by the King's Courts and Judges there; and for rendering the Union more complete; Obs.

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.
