This sum will remain forfeited, if in the declared opinion
of the Judge, the pursuit was at or since the commencement
application made tainted with maliciousness malice or temerariousness temerity.

Reasons

But for this, the whole time of the Judicatory might be preoccupied
and well grounded claims excluded by malitious anti-conscientious evilly-conscious
or temerarious or wanton pursuits: if merely wanton spontaneous
if malitious anti conscientious, in consequence of pay given by
opulent malefactors. Quere? – the Pursuer being bound to verity by as for perjury
and no vexation imposed on Defendant without sureties for Pursuers submitted to the principal or else from making adequate compensation for the vexation.

2. It can not be regarded as probable, that in default of his

justiciability in case the application or the pursuit should
be judged anti-conscientious or temerarious.

At. 3. Such application may be made either to the Pursuer
or to the Pursuer General

Art. 3. As often as in the course of the suit, anti-conscientious
or temerariousness has by a party on either side been

accordingly, without the formality of a separate suit on purpose.
