The Lords doubted much whether the imprisonment falls under the act 1701, which excepts pickery and thieving; and the pursuers did not insist upon it. But they found both liable to the pursuer for L.80 sterling of damages for the illegal and oppressive imprisonment and continuance thereof; and found Robieson separatim liable for L.50 sterling of damages for the cruel, inhuman, and barbarous usage of the pursuers during the imprisonment.
