The Lords turned into a libel the decree of an inferior Judge, fining a party for a riot, in regard of the incompetency of that court to judge therein; in so far as the locus delicti was within another jurisdiction; wherein also the defender had his forum domicilii, being at that time resident at a writer to the signet's country-house, whose apprentice he was, though not an house apprentice; and although the father, whose eldest son he was, had both his dwelling and whole estate within the jurisdiction where the son was attached.
