There being no messenger-at-arms to put a warrant of arrestment into execution, authority granted to a sheriff officer to execute the diligence.
This note stated that the petitioner had obtained decree against the Earl of Orkney for a certain sum, with power to arrest, and prayed for warrant to a sheriff-officer to put the warrant into execution. The note stated that there was no messenger-at-arms resident in Orkney. The nearest was at Caithness, which was at a considerable distance, and there might be considerable delay. Under the recent Act, a sheriff-officer might serve a summons but not a diligence. The Court granted the authority prayed for.
Counsel for the Petitioner— Mr Pattison.
Agent— William Mason, S.S.C.
