| The Magistrates and Town-Council of Paisley v. The Freeholders and Commissioners of Supply of the County of Renfrew | 1792 | Arrestment, Burgh, Burgh of Barony, Charter, Debt, Aliment | The Magistrates and Town-Council of Paisley pursued the Freeholders and Commissioners of Supply of the County of Renfrew regarding liability for expenses incurred in maintaining prisoners committed to the burgh's custody. Sir Michael Stewart and others, representing the defenders, argued that the magistrates were personally liable for costs arising from prisoners committed on their own warrants. The pursuers countered that, as a burgh of barony with a sufficient prison, they were entitled to be relieved of such expenses from the public rogue money fund. |
