annex it to the Crown, and to give the Mar-
ſhal other Eſtates. A Treaty was actually on

to the Crown was revived in every Reign,
but never fully completed till 1726, when the
Marquis de Belleiſle finally yielded it to the
King, and received in exchange for it the
County of Ginors, and ſeveral other conſider-
able Eſtates.

The Caſe of the heretable Juriſdiction in
Scotland is a moſt ſtriking Inſtance of our
own Times.

ſhould be made to the private Proprietors,
and naming Commiſſioners, the higheſt Per-
ſons in the Kingdom to tranſact with them;
but this great Apparatus ended in nothing.
