Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ancient Laws and Customs of the Burghs of Scotland, Vol. 2: A. D. 1424-1707
Previous to 1424, when the present volume commences, the laws and customs forming the distinguishing features in the constitution of royal burghs had for some time been in operation, and the statutes passed subsequent to that date, though sometimes introducing changes in system, are mainly directed towards the maintenance and regulation of the privileges and responsibilities of the burghs as originally established.
