In an action before the Admiral, at the instance of William Chalmer and others against Samuel Gore, an Englishman, and others, for a riot committed at open sea, Gore found James Paterson surveyor at Leith, cautioner judicio sisti; and the evidence coming strongly out against Gore, whereby Paterson run the hazard of being brought in for a great sum, Paterson found means to persuade Gore to come down to Scotland and present himself, whereupon Paterson got up his bond, and Gore was put in prison.
Gore presented a petition to the Admiral, craving to be let out of prison upon juratory caution judicio sisti, which the Admiral granted upon his deponing and consigning a disposition, as is usual in juratory caution.
Of this order of the Admiral, the pursuer presented a bill of suspension, which was passed unanimously.
The Lords were of opinion, that juratory caution judicio sisti was not at all to be admitted.
