Sir James Cockburn having pursued ———, and having cited him by the second summons, upon twenty-four hours, being found in the Canongate;—it was alleged, That a citation upon twenty-four hours was never further extended than against persons found in Edinburgh; which cannot extend to any suburbs. It was answered, That the sustaining of such citations was no privilege of Edinburgh, but only in respect of the propinquity of the place; and, by Edinburgh, it was never found that the city was only meant, but all that passes under that common designation, which comprehends the suburbs. The Lords sustained the citation.
