INTRODUCTION TO conftitutions deftined to be applied for ttie benefit of their communities ; but as foon as the raagiftrates and councils acquired the power of electing themfelves in perpetuity, they adminif- tered, embezzled, and dilapidated thefe eftates at their pleafure. This fubjecl. Is now before parliament ; and a great body of evidence has been compiled, which will foon be publiihed, and which will throw very great light on the antient ftate of the Scottifh burghs. Your Committee, howev...er, have thought proper to mention it as one great branch of the encroachment on former rights. It is abfolutely nccefiary to ftate, that thefe unjuft a6ts of 1469 and 1474 have been fo de- tefted by the people, and fo much refifted in practice, that they have never been completely executed in any one place : in many of the ^ burghs the burgeffes continued for a long period to cleft their own magiftrates, and fevcral char- ters have been granted as low down as the end of the laft century, conferring rhe right of elec- tion on the burgefles.
