In a pursuit at the instance of —— against the Lord Cardross,—it was Alleged, No process; because the second summons was at the pier of Leith; whereas Cardross was then within the kingdom, and so should have been cited personally, or at his dwelling-house.
It was answered, That the first citation being at the pier of Leith, Cardross being then out of the kingdom, the pursuer was warranted to proceed so with the second summons; especially seeing Cardross was accustomed to be about the border, and to go in and out, and to lurk there.
The Lords found, No process till Cardross were cited personally, or at his dwelling-house; being then within the kingdom, albeit the first citation was given when he was out of the kingdom.
