The Lords found, That a process of injury, brought against a man for saying that a woman had committed adultery, was not competent before the Sheriff-court, but only before the Commissaries, as being a proper process of scandal relating to a crime cognoscible before the ecclesiastical court; but had it been a case where the soul was not so much concerned, and a pecuniary interest more, they would have found it a verbal injury, and so competent before the civil court.
