PERTH.—In the first Division of the Court of Session, a
case was recently decided, of some importance to those
corporate bodies, here and elsewhere, who stand upon their
exclusive privileges. A person named Moodie eulistd in
the Royal Perthshire Militia ai a substitute, and
three years and six months, during which time the Regi-
ment was twice in Ireland. He was discharged in 1802;
and he soon afterwards claimed the privilege of exercising
the trade of a mason within the borough. This was misted
by the Wright Incorporation; and the Sheriff of Perthshire
at their request, granted an interdict, and found Moodie
liable in damages,—applying to his ease the statute 42 Oro.
111. cap. 69, which was not enacted till after he had been
discharged. The case was advocated to the Supreme Court;
where the Lord Ordinary reversed the Sheriff's judgment.—
The Incorporation petitioned the Inner House against On
decision; but, on advising the plaVings, the Court alßrmed
the judgment complained against,rith the whole costs of
suit.
