I reported a bill of suspension and liberation for M'Intosh, then in the messenger's hands. The Lords were of opinion that in the eye of the law he was a prisoner as much as if in jail, and therefore would not pass the bill upon instant caution without being seen. But directed me to appoint it to be seen and answered, and to sist execution except imprisonment.
