PART V.

SCOTLAND.

THE OFFICERS OF STATE, AND OTHER GREAT
OFFICERS OF SCOTLAND.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

THE Lord Chancellor was the chief in matters of justice; and in the laws of Malcolm II. he is placed before all other officers; and from these laws it appears that he had the principal direction of the Chancery or Chancellary. He had the custody of the king's seal; and he was the king's most intimate counsellor, as appears by an old ordinance, cited by Sir James Balfour: "The Chancellar sall, at al tymes, assist the King, in giving him counsall mair secretly nor the rest of the nobility, to quhais ordinances all officiaris, als well of the realme as of the Kingis hous, sould answer and obey. The Chancellar sall be ludgit neir unto the Kingis Grace, for keiping of his bodie, and the seill; and that he may be readie, baith day and nicht, at the Kingis command." By having the custody of the great seal, he had an opportunity of examining the king's grants and other deeds which were to pass under it, and to cancel them if they appeared against law, or were obtained surreptitiously, or by false suggestions.

James VI. ordained that the Lord Chancellor should have the first place and rank in the nation, ratione officii, by virtue whereof he presided in the parliament, and in all courts of judicature. After the Restoration of Charles II. the Lord Chancellor was declared by act of parliament, by virtue of his office, president in all the meetings of parliament, or other public judicatures of the kingdom. Although this act was made to declare the Chancellor president of the exchequer as well as other courts, yet in 1663 the king declared the lord treasurer to be president of that court.

The office of Lord Chancellor was abolished by the Union, there being no further use for the judicial part of the office; and a lord keeper of the great seal was appointed, with a salary of 3000l. per annum.
