22 SLR 22_1

Robertson

v.

Wilson.

Subject_1Process
Subject_2Appeal
Subject_3Competency
Subject_4Cessio — Debtors Scotland Act 1880 (43 and 44 Vict. cap. 34) — Search Warrant.
Facts:

Where, in a process of cessio at the instance of a creditor under the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1880, the first deliverance issued by the Sheriff, finding that there was prima facie evidence of notour bankruptcy, appointing the creditor to follow out the procedure required by the Act, and the debtor to appear for public examination, contained also a warrant to open lockfast places and to search the dwelling-house and person of the debtor, the Court held that this special warrant did not take the case out of the rule of Adam & Sons v. Kinnes, February 27, 1883, ante, vol. xx. p. 436, and 10 R. 670, and therefore that the deliverance could not competently be appealed to the Court of Session.

Counsel:

Counsel for Appellant— Low. Agent — J. Barton, S.S.C.

Counsel for Respondent— Lang. Agent— D. H. Wilson, S.S.C.

1884
