Hornings pass on bills presented to the Ordinary, sine causa cognita ; neither is it usual to allow parties, even where they appear, to be heard against them ; their remedy is by suspension, see Kilkerran, p. .

Mr Dickson's situation, in point of health, induced the Ordinary to take this method, however unusual.
