PREFACE.
Among the various civil jurisdictions exercised by the Ecclesiastical
Courts prior to the Reformation was that of adjudicating in Con-
sistorial causes or actions relating to marriage, legitimacy and
divorce. The only records of that period now preserved in the
General Register House are the Registers of two Officialates of St.
Andrews for the years 1512-1552 and 1541-1554, excerpts from
which were printed by the Abbotsford Club in 1845.
In -1560 the jurisdiction of these Courts was abolished and on
the institution of the Commissary Court in 1563-4 these cases were
made over to the Commissaries of Edinburgh, who continued judges
therein until 1830, when these matters were transferred to the
Court of Session.
The Record of these proceedings before 1658 will be found
mixed up with those of the ordinary Court, but after that date the
processes have been kept in separate bundles, and from 1684 the
Extracted Decreets are contained in a different Register. These
Processes and Decreets form the subject of this Index.
The Processes include Actions for Divorce, both on the ground
of desertion or adultery, Separation and Aliment, Declarator of
Marriage or Legitimacy, Declarator of Freedom or Putting to
Silence, Adherence, Reduction of Edicts of Executry, Nullity of
Marriage, Reduction and Improbation and Scandal or Damages for
Slander. When the decree has been extracted a reference is given
to the volume and page where the same will be found. When there
is only a decreet and no process there is stated to be " No
warrants."
