. Bee, or Literary Weekly Intelligencer. *793' 0" delays in the court of Sefston, 283: In a procefs of ranking and sale, delays occur, previous to the order to make up the state, one of which is not extracting the decreet of certificati- on. It is not easy to compel the common agent to take out the extract; but the interlocutor or de- creet itself may be made ^/ja/in two, threp, or four weeks, as may be though t expedient; and a regula- tion ought also to take place against opening it up on slight pretences, such as are admitted of at pre- sent, or indeed on any occasion fhort of minority or inability to act. This appears to be necsfsary for bringing forward the creditors to produce their in- terests in proper time. Other delays occur after the state and order is lodgi'd. It always contains objections against num- bers of the interests or grounds of debt produced for the creditors. And before the procefs can tra- vel round the diiFerent doers, for these several cre- ditors, to have the objections answered in succefsi- on, not weeks or months only, but, whole sefsions are sometimes consumed. Almost an equal space elapses in the making of duplies, and perhaps half the time may be taken as the medium for lodging replies ; but this letter is already too lo ng to follow the subject farther, and therefore I hasten to close it, being 8cc.
