Topic: Bailies


  
  Bailiff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish form of this post is the bailie.
Bailies served as burgh magistrates in the system of local government in Scotland before 1975 when the system of burghs and counties was replaced by a two-tier system of Regional Councils and District Councils.
Under the new arrangements the bailies were abolished and replaced by Justices of the Peace serving in the District Courts of Scotland, these posts no longer holding any authority within the local authority as an administrative body.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Seal of Confession
It is to be observed that none of the works referred to below mention sacramental confession as practised by Catholics, which, perhaps, would be regarded by the courts as having a peculiar claim to protection.
In the case of Anderson and Marshall, which is cited by Hume as having taken place in 1728, Hume tells us that Anderson had made a confession in the presence of a minister and two bailies.
Though Anderson, he tells us, had sent for the minister in order to dlsburden his conscience to him, evidence of the confession was received at the trial of Anderson.
