President. I see the necessity of the application, but I doubt of its being formal, as there is no process in Court; and as we do not know, in the capacity of Judges, that Borlum has left the country, I think that the proper way would be to present a bill of inhibition, and to have it passed causa cognita, upon proof being brought of the husband's absence. I therefore would remit to the Ordinary on the Bills, to whom the bill of inhibition may be presented accordingly.

On the 14th January 1773, “The Lords remitted the petition to the Ordinary on the Bills.”

For the petitioner, Dav. Dalrymple.
