The Scottish Privy Council, the members of which, called Lords of Council, sat for judicial business during the vacation of Parliament; also the Daily Council, a body having civil jurisdiction, created by Act Jas. IV, 1503, c. 58.In 1532, the functions of the latter body, together with those of the ‘Session of James I’ (Act 1425, c. 65), and the judicial functions of the Lords Auditors of Parliament (instituted 1368–9) were combined in the College of Justice, also called Court of Session, then created. To the ordinary judges of this court, called in the Act of 1532 Lords of Session, the King exercised (till 1723) the right to conjoin three or four ‘vther Lordes’ from the members of his Council. Hence the judges of the court are styled Lords of Council and Session, and its records the Books of Council and Session. ΚΠ 1471 Sc. Acts Jas.
