1. A freeman of a burgh or borough, entitled to enjoy the
privileges of the place; any inhabitant of a borough.

2. (Eccl. Hist.) A member of that party, among the Scotch
seceders, which asserted the lawfulness of the burgess
oath (in which burgesses profess ``the true religion
professed within the realm''), the opposite party being
called antiburghers.

Scotland, in 1747, and in 1820 reunited under the name
of the ``United Associate Synod of the Secession
Church.''
