Mr Robert Trotter, doctor of medicine, obtains decreet against James Bar, herald-pursuivant, for payment of the debt due to the said Doctor by Cockburn of Ladykirk; because the said James had taken him with caption, and delivered him to another messenger, who suffered him to escape; and there was presumption of his taking money, and connivance: But, the Doctor insisting for his expenses, the Lords thought the action penal, and refused to decern the messenger in any.
