The Magistrates pursue the defenders as unfree traders, upon the 84th act 1503, 154th act 1592, 5th act 1672, to pay the value of all goods imported or exported, bought or sold for some years backward;—but we found that no such action does lie for the value of these goods, but only for confiscating the goods themselves; and refused a bill reclaiming against Minto's interlocutor without answers.
