It is statuted by an act 20th Geo. II. that any person who continued loyal during the late rebellion, and whose house had been invaded by the rebels, and his writs and evidents, or any part thereof, carried off or destroyed, might, on or before the 20th July 1747, apply by petition to the Court of Session; and the said application being published in the manner directed by the act, might bring proof of the allegeance; which being found, and the procedure recorded, no claim of debt, to be brought against the petitioner or his heirs after the 15th of November 1748, should be sustained, unless resting owing were referred to their oath.
The Earl of Findlater applied, and having proved his allegeance, was found entitled to the benefit of this act. See Jurisdiction.
