But now that all show of judicial independence was taken away, and the judges debased into mere mouthpieces of the king's will, the weight of their judgements came to an end. The nation had bent before their decision in favour of the Post-Nati; it had never a thought of bending before their decision in favour of Ship-money.
'Aha! sits the wind there? Then I suppose the young dog carries off my mistress Julia? 'Even so, Counsellor. 'These rascals, the post-nati, get the better of us of the old school at every turn, said Mr. Pleydell. 'But she must convey and make over her interest in me to Lucy.

The discussion on the Union question raised the subject of naturalization, and the rights of the post-nati, i.e. Scots born after James's accession to the throne.
