A creditor of William Walker, late Procurator-Fiscal of the Sheriff-court of Edinburgh, applied for a sequestration of Walker's effects. The criterion of bankruptcy was, that Walker had suffered a poinding of part of his effects. Walker was truly a person non compos ; he was kept in a mad-house at Musselburgh. Of this there was no evidence before the Court; and, although there had been such evidence, probably it would have had no effect. The Lords sequestrated in common form.
