Macneil | 1798 | Debt, Prescription, Execution, Bankruptcy, Oath, Citation | Colin Campbell and Duncan Campbell junior, as trustees on the sequestrated estate of Alexander M'Corquodale, pursued John Macneil of Gigha to alter an interlocutor of Lord Armadale regarding an account libelled against him.

| Elliot v. Romanis | 1790 | Bill of Exchange, Execution, Debt, Prescription, Creditor, Diligence | Helen Elliot pursued Robert Romanis, a Lauder writer, for loss resulting from an officer’s conduct and the negligence of others.
