The Lords found that the act against wrongous imprisonment does not extend to proceedings before this Court, (which they had found in many cases of both of forgery and fraudulent bankruptcy, as Monro of Navarry, and a forger of bank-notes Haliburton, and Philip Pack.) But, in respect of both the Advocates and private parties consent, ordered him to be set at liberty on his finding caution judicio sisti under the pain of 2000 merks, and whatever sum shall be found due to the private party.
