Park and Brown made oath before the bailie of the abbey, that their debtor Bennet had retired to the sanctuary, merely to have a better opportunity of flying the kingdom. Bennet refusing to find security for his remaining in Scotland, was committed to the abbey jail, and upon application of the creditors on the ground of that jail being insufficient, warrant was granted by the Lords for removing him to the prison of Canongate.
