An officer who lived with his wife and family for several months in Edinburgh, going to join his regiment, a creditor apprehended him on a warrant on the act 1672, cap. 8. until he should find caution judicio sisti et judicatum solvi, as being in meditatione fugæ. The Lords, in respect that the officer was a burgess of Edinburgh, and no stranger, and that going to his regiment was no fuga, found him entitled to damages from the creditor.
