Judicial Proceedings: process for remedy at law; complaint scheduled

The process of [Anna Scott], duchess of Buccleuch against the earls [George Melville, earl] of Melville and [David Leslie/Melville, earl of] Leven and Mr James Melville [of Halhill] upon the protestation taken by her for remedy at law against the interlocutors pronounced by the lords of session in the action of exhibition and reduction at her instance against the said defenders, being called, and the advocates for either party fully heard upon their dilators in the matter of the exhibition, the parliament, having advised the debate upon the executions, found the execution against Mr James Melville at his lodging in Edinburgh null in respect he was neither personally apprehended nor had lodged there forty days before the execution, and allowed the execution against the said defender at his dwelling house in the country to be yet seen in common form. And, having advised the debate and the other defence that Mr James must be first called, sustained the dilator and found no process unless Mr James Melville as a party is called.

The complaint [John Hamilton], earl of Ruglen against an illegal order for quartering appointed to be heard the next diet of parliament for private business.
