Sarah Blomart pursuing the Earl of Roxburgh, he alleged she could have no processes, being of the United Provinces, who are declared enemies to his Majesty. It was answered, that there was no denunciation of war by his Majesty, as King of Scotland, nor any proclamation in Scotland to that purpose. It was replied, that there was a warrant by the King and council to seize upon all the Dutch vessels in Scotland.
The Lords found that this was but an embargo, and no denunciation of war in Scotland; and therefore found process.
