Regarding compearance before the session
That no person or persons of whatever quality shall at any time hereafter compear before the lords of session, either as pursuers or defenders, accompanied with any saving his advocates and agents only, under the pain aforesaid, for it is intolerable that justice should seem to be procured by threatening or convocation as though justice were not so ready for the poor as for the great ones.
