A Warrant of commitment having been obtained against Muir, as in meditatione fugæ, he found caution that he should compear and answer to any action brought against him, or, in default thereof, that his cautioners should pay the debt. Action was accordingly brought against Muir for the debt, and against the cautioners, in the event of his not answering thereto. Decreet was obtained against Muir. It was extracted, and a charge given. This being without effect, the pursuer, Telfer, proceeded in the action against the cautioners; but as they were only cautioners judicio sisti, and as decreet had not only been pronounced but extracted, without any previous requisition to produce Muir, the cautioners were assoilyied, 15th December 1774.
