Mr William Somerville seeking to come out of prison on a cessio bonorum, and a disposition offered by him to his creditors, he having, before his incarceration, disponed all his lands and other estate to his son, (which may be reduced on the Act 1621, but cannot be summarily annulled,) and the Creditors offering to aliment him in prison; the Lords refused to liberate him; but in the mean time ordained him to depone on the truth of the disposition offered by him, and modified two groats to him per diem; and in case weekly, at each Saturday, it were not paid him, then they appointed him to be set at liberty, he wearing the habit.
