A minister being deposed by his Presbytery for irregularities, pursued the Heritors, who refused to pay him his stipend, and urged, That the sentence of deposition not being signed by the Moderator of the Presbytery, or any of the members, was void, in terms of act of Parliament 1686, cap. 3.—Answered, The act relates to civil, not ecclesiastical judicatories.—The Lords found the extract of the sentence, under the hand of the Presbytery Clerk, was not proper evidence of the deposition.
