[Hewlett, p. 05.] ( c ) The House on 0 June 1793, resolved that " the votes given by the Lord Lindores at the said election [1790] were not good.'' Mr. Hewlett remarks that "there is no known report of the judgment given against the votes of Lord Lindores, nor are the grounds on which it proceeded known. It was, however, merely a decision against the votes given by Lord Lindores on that election and not a decision against any claim made by him to the dignity and it is to be observed that the wording of the resolution is very different from cases in which the dignity is impugned, e.g., in that of Belhaveu where the words run that " the votes given by the person who voted under the title of Lord Belhaveu were not good ;" so also in the case of Newark and of others.
