THE Lords of His Majesties Privy Council , to prevent the great Prejudice that may arise to His Majesties Service , by the not sending in Probation with the Prisoners , who are sent into His Majestie 's Prisons , and particularly those of Edinburgh and Cannogate whereby His Majestie 's Advocate cannot know the ground whereupon they are to be pursued , or how to find a Probation ; as also the extraordinary prejudices that daily arise to His Majestie 's Subjects , by being Imprisoned through Malice , Ignorance , or Mis-information ; Do therefore hereby ordain all Officers of the Army , Magistrates , or others , who send in Prisoners , to send to His Majestie 's Advocate , or the Clerks of the Council , as sufficient Information of their Crimes , with a full account of the Depositions of such Witnesses , or other Probation as can be had against them ; Warranting the Keepers of the Prisons , to receive none into their Prisons , unless . Information or Probation be sent-in , as said is , to be verified to the saids Keepers , by the saids Clerks , excepting allwise such as are sent in Prisoners by order from a Privy Counselor ; to whom it is hereby Recomended , to send also an account to His Majestie 's Advocate of their Crime , and Probation , with their first conveniency ; and His Majestie 's Advocate is hereby required to represent to the Privy Council , the Grounds and Warrands of the said Imprisonment , the very next Council day after the Prisoners are incarcerated , as said is , to the end they may be either set at Liberty or Punished . And to the effect these Presents may be Published and known ; the saids Lords ordain the Macers of Council to pass to the Market-Cross of Edinburgh , and there by sound of Trumpet make Publication of the same , that none pretend Ignorance .

Extracted forth of the Records of Privy Council , by me Mr. Colin Mᶜkenzie , Clerk of His Majestie 's most Honourable Privy Council .
