Robert Dick having pursued a process of cessio, the Lords, November 1775, pronounced this interlocutor:— “Find the pursuer entitled to the benefit of this process of cessio: Ordain him to give in a disposition omnium bonorum, and allow his oath to be taken, in terms of the Act of Sederunt; and, for that effect, grant commission, &c. But in respect it appears that the pursuer has not failed in his circumstances through misfortune, but through dealing in illicit trade, and smuggling; therefore refuse to dispense with his wearing the dyvor's habit, and supersede further procedure till his oath is reported, and the disposition given in.”
