M'Arthur was imprisoned in the tolbooth of Edinburgh, on a warrant from the Sheriff, for not finding caution judicio sisti: afterwards, he was arrested in jail by a creditor, for a debt in common form. The Lords found him entitled to the benefit of the cessio, except as to personal liberty, until he purged the Sheriff's warrant: they pronounced decreet accordingly.
