See also:SKINNER, See also:JOHN (1721-1807) , Scottish author, son of John Skinner, a See also:parish schoolmaster, was See also:born at See also:Balfour, See also:Aberdeen-See also:shire, on the 3rd of See also:October 1721. He had been intended for the Presbyterian See also:ministry, but, after passing through Marischal See also:College, Aberdeen, and teaching for a few years, he took orders in the Episcopal See also:- CHURCH

Church, and was appointed to the See also:charge of Longside in 1742. Very soon after Skinner joined the Episcopalians they became, in consequence of the Jacobite See also:rebellion in 1745, a much persecuted remnant. Skinner's church was burnt; his See also:house was plundered; for some years he had to See also:minister to his See also:congregation by stealth; and in 1753 he suffered six months' imprisonment for having officiated to more than four persons besides his own See also:family. After 1760 the penal See also:laws were less strictly en-forced, but throughout the See also:century the See also:lot of the Episcopalian ministers in See also:Scotland was far from comfortable, and only the humblest provisions for church services were tolerated. He died at the house of his son, John Skinner, See also:bishop of Aberdeen, on the 16th of See also:June 18o7. It is by his few songs that Skinner is generally known. A See also:correspondence took See also:place between him and See also:Burns, who considered his " Tullochgorum" "the best Scotch See also:song Scotland ever saw," and procured his collaboration for See also:- JOHNSON, ANDREW

His best songs had stolen into See also:print; a collection was not published till 1809, under the See also:title of Amusements of Leisure See also:Hours. Throughout his See also:life Skinner was a vigorous student, and published in 1788 an Ecclesiastical See also:History of Scotland (2 vols.) in the See also:form of letters.

Thomas Skinner presented a See also:petition to See also:Charles II. asserting that he could not obtain any redress against the See also:East See also:India See also:Company, which, he asserted, had injured his See also:property. The case was referred to the House of Lords, and Skinner obtained a See also:verdict for £5000. The company complained to the House of Commons which declared that the proceedings in the other House were illegal. The Lords defended their See also:action, and after two conferences between the Houses had produced no result the Commons ordered Skinner to be put in See also:prison on a charge of See also:breach of See also:privilege; to this the Lords replied by fining and imprisoning See also:Sir See also:Samuel Barnardiston, the chairman of the company. Then for about a See also:year the dispute slumbered, but it was renewed in 1669, when Charles II. advised the two Houses to stop all proceedings and to erase all mention of the case from their records. This was done and since this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.
