Mr William Hume, late minister at Jedburgh, against his Parishioners, was reported by Saline. The Lords found, though he served till January 1682, yet he had no right to the half-year's stipend, from Martinmas 1681 till Whitsunday 1682, because he had deserted his charge for not taking the test; and did not find that he was in pari casu with one who had deceased then, whose relict or nearest of kin would have claimed that half-year.
