whom the Kirk Session of his Parish had refused to.
.absolve from the scandal of fornication, incurred by;
him fifteen years since, until he should submit to re-•
peated public rebukes before the c .ngregation, Which
sentence had been affirme'd by the- Presbytery of the
bound:. The Synod, after long reasoning, remitted,
. this cause to the Kirk geviioo, authorizing "them to
"ieview their own sentence,' and, if they should see:
cause, to admonish and absolve him nrivatelY. From,
this seratAnce sev.t-rSI-MeMhers of Synod dissented,,

carried him to a house in the neighbourhood, where
