Magistrates of Burghs found liable, when a prisoner made his escape by picking the lock to another room not vaulted, and so got through the floor; in respect there was no catband on the door, at least any catband was within the prison room; and found also liable in the pursuer's expenses. This founded on act of sederunt 1671. (See Dict. No. 65. p. 11736.)
