But, when decree is given in absence against the defender, he may, before the
expiry of the charge, apply for a re-hearing, on consigning the sums decerned for.
If decree in absence be given against the pursuer, he may, within one month, ,
obtain a re-hearing, on consigning 23. 6d., if the case be before the Justices ; and
the expense decerned for, with 5s. to meet 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.
If decree be given against the defender in his personal presence, diligence may ,
proceed against him by arrestment instantly; and by poinding and sale, at the end
of ten days.
If decree be given against the defender in his absence, poinding and sale, as above,
can only follow after a charge of ten days.
The defender, on showing cause, may be allowed to pay the sums decerned for byi
instalments.
The decrees of the Sheriff may be executed in any county, on the same being;
indorsed by the Clerk of such county.
Any arrestments used in cases before the Sheriff, must be used within sixty days'
after the warrant is obtained, and renewed every three months ; and such arrest-t
ments may be loosed, on offering sufficient caution, or on showing evidence d£i
absolvitor, or payment, or on consigning the sums demanded, if before decree.
The above forms will apply to any action of forthcoming whatever, before th(
Sheriff, for making effectual arrestments ; but in such actions, both the defendei
and arrestee must be cited to appear in Court on the same day.
Decrees, pronounced in this summary form, by the Sheriff, will only be reviewabk
by the next Circuit Court of Justiciary, or, if there be no Circuit Court, by th(
High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, on the ground of corruption, or malice, oi
oppression, on the part of the Judge.
Such decrees, when pronounced by the Justices, will only be reviewable by i
reduction before the Court of Session, on the ground of malice and oppression, or
the part of the Justices ; and such reduction will only be competent for one year
and finding caution for costs.
No person shall be exempted from the jurisdiction of Justices or Sheriffs, in sue!
cases, by reason of privilege as a member of the College of Justice.
