Where a complaint against a forger, after stating the facts, bore, that the complainer had from said facts good ground to complain, and inform that the deed was false and forged, and therefore craved warrant to macers and messengers to apprehend, &c. the Lords were of opinion, that the fact not being directly charged, they could not grant warrant to commit, but that they might grant warrant to apprehend, and bring the person before the Court, in order to examination; with this further order, if he should happen to be brought on a feriate day, or when the Court was not sitting, to commit till the Court should have opportunity to call him; in which terms, warrant was granted accordingly.
