Debts may be recovered in a summary

or libel, agreeably to a prescribed form,

ground of action ; and to cause the same,
with a copy of the account, if any, to be
served on the defender.
A warrant will, at the same time, be
obtained to cite witnesses.
The parties may appear either by them-
selves or by members of their families, or
others whom the Court may authorise ;
but in no case by persons practising the
profession of the law, or by Officers of
Court, without special leave of the Court
or cause shown.
If the defender fail to appear after being
cited, he will be held as confessed, and
judgment will be given against him.
But when decree is given in absence
against the defender, he may, before the
expiry of the charge, apply for a rehear-
ing, on consigning the sums decerned for
in cases before Justices, and in cases be-
fore Sheriff by consigning 10s. of expenses,
on applying within 3 months from date of
charge.
If decree in absence be given against
the pursuer, he may, within one month,
obtain a rehearing, on consigning 2s. 6d.,
if the case be before tb.e Justices ; and the
expense decerned for, with 5s. to meet I
further expenses, if the case be before the
Sheriff.
The case will be adjourned upon the
pursuer or defender offering a suitable ex-
cuse, or if any witness be absent.

restment instantly ; and by poinding, sale,
and imprisonment, if above £8. 6s. 8d., at
the end of ten days, before the Sheriff;
and b)' poinding and sale instantly, before
the Justices.

in his absence, poinding and sale, as above,

be allowed to pay the sums decerned for
by instalments.

Justices may be executed in any county,
on the same being indorsed by the Clerk i
of such county.

Sheriff must be used within sixty days
after the warrant is obtained, and renewed

tion, or on showing evidence of absolvitor
or payment, or on consigning the sums j
