Subject_1 Sheriff Subject_2 Process Subject_3 Taking of Proofs by Short Subject_4 hand. Facts: Observed ( per the Lord President) that where proofs are taken by a short-hand writer under the Sheriff Court Act 1853 (16 and 17 Vic. cap. 80), sec. 10, and the Act 37 and 38 Vic. cap. 64, sec. it is the duty of the Sheriff to dictate the evidence, and that the practice of having it taken down at length, in the form of question and answer, is not sanctioned by the statutes, and is highly inconvenient in its results.
