And it appearing that the Right Honourable George Young was duly elected and ought to have been returned as Member of Parliament for the said District of Burghs, but had, since his said Election, been appointed and taken his seat as one of the Judges of the Court of Session in Scotland, and was thereby disqualified from sitting in Parliament:—
