The petitioners were holders of a bill which the acceptor had failed to meet when it fell due. The bill had been protested, the protest had been recorded and extracted, and a charge given to the acceptor. The petitioners stated that the acceptor was possessed of property and effects in Shetland, and that there was no messenger-at-arms resident in Orkney or Shetland, and they craved the Court “to grant warrant to any sheriff-officer in Shetland or Orkney to carry into execution the said extract registered protest by arrestment, poinding, and sale, and other competent diligence.” The Court granted the application.
Counsel for the Petitioners— Galloway. Agents— Carmichael & Miller, W.S.
