Quick orient — first passages from judgment

This was a petition for cessio, to which there was no opposition, and the party was present. The Court had considerable doubt whether they should not exercise the discretionary power vested in them by the 12th section of the act, of remitting to the Sheriff to take the oath of the party, and put the necessary questions. But, in the circumstances, they allowed that procedure to take place in this Court.
