The Lords agreed that this Court must execute the sentences of the criminal Court, so far as is proper or competent to our jurisdiction; but as the sentence of the criminal Court in this case mentioned nothing of damages, they thought the verdict was no probatio
probata of the breaking even of houses or of the theft, me quidem renitente. The President thought that it would be probatio probata against the party himself, but not against the creditors. But the other Lords did not seem to be of that opinion. However, they agreed that the interlocutor should be so expressed, that it is not probatio probata against the creditors, because that is the case before us; and having examined the particular testimonies, found they are not sufficient evidence of the fact.
