| Nisbet, et al v. The kirk-session of West-kirk | 1773 | Election contest, Heritor, Session-Clerk, Election, Salmon Fishing, Succession | Sir John Nisbet and other heritors petitioned the Court against the kirk-session of West-kirk (St Cuthberts) for unilaterally electing a schoolmaster-clerk to serve as session-clerk and precentor without heritor consent.
