On a complaint against a Captain in the army, one Hamilton, for his seizing and disposing of the complainer's tenants' cattle, furniture, &c. and turning them out of possession on pretence that these tenants had been in the Rebellion, the Lords ordered the complaint to be served on the Captain, and him to answer five days after service, and prohibited any further intromission in the meantime; and no answers being put in, they found him guilty of a contempt, and granted warrant to commit him to prison till he should find caution at the sight of the Sheriff to answer the complaint, and to pay what damages should be awarded.
