The General Assembly note the difficulties encountered by Presbyteries when appointing in hunc effectum meetings arising from the restriction in The Practice of the Free Church of Scotland, Chapter 2, Part 1, Paragraph 10.1., that the resolution appointing such a meeting must be engrossed in the minutes of the immediately preceding ordinary meeting at which also public intimation of the in hunc effectum meeting must be made. They remove the said restriction in the case of in hunc effectum meetings appointed for moderating in a Call to fill a vacancy, for ordinations and inductions, and for meetings with congregations appointed for routine business. They declare that it shall be competent for Presbyteries to appoint an in hunc effectum meeting in such cases when there is not more than one ordinary meeting in the intervening period between the date of appointment the meeting and the date of the in hunc effectum meeting taking place.
