the Prosecution of fraudulent Bankrupts in Scotland.-
[28th May 1827.]
THEREAS it is expedient that the Court of Justiciary in Scotland,
W should have jurisdiction in cases of fraudulent bankruptcy, be it
therefore enacted by the King's most excellent Majesty, by and with the
advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons,
in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same,
That it shall and may be lawful to prosecute all persons accused of
fradulent bankruptcy in Scotland, before the High Court or any Circuit
Court of Justiciary, by indictment or criminal letters, and according to
the same form and course of proceeding as is used in regard to other
offences prosecuted before the said courts; and the judges of the said
high court and circuit courts are hereby authorized and empowered to
try all cases of fraudulent bankruptcy, and to inflict such punishment on
persons convicted thereof as it is now competent for the Lords of Session
to award against persons convicted of the said crime.
II. Provided always, and be it enacted, That it shall and may be
lawful for the trustee appointed for the management of the sequestrated
estate of any bankrupt in Scotland, or any creditor whose claim has
been received and has been duly ranked upon any such sequestrated
estate in the sederunt book kept by the trustee, with the concourse of
His Majesty's advocate for Scotland, to prosecute any such offence before
the High Court or any Circuit Court of Justiciary, without prejudice
always to the title of the public prosecutor to insist in all such prose-
cutions.
