Gilkie gave in a complaint, setting forth that Farquharson, writer, having obtained a suspension and liberation against him, at the instance of his client, MacDonald, the same had been executed against him by a messenger, at Farquharson's instigation, while the suspension lay in the signet, being hypothecated for payment of the signet dues. But he craved only service against Farquharson, and not against the messenger. The Lords thought he had mistaken his party, and that he ought to have craved service against the messenger: “ In respect therefore, that he had not done so, they refused to grant warrant for service.”

Had he done so, they would have granted warrant for serving it against both.
