In a petition for the appointment of a curator bonis to Robert M'Kechnie, a gentleman certified to be of unsound mind and incapable of managing his affairs, presented by his wife and the whole of his next-of-kin, two medical certificates were produced, “that to serve the petition for the appointment of a curator upon him personally would have a bad effect on his mind as he is apt to become very violent,” and another from the physician superintendent of the asylum in which he was confined, “that he might be excited and seriously injured by the personal service upon him of a petition for the appointment of a curator bonis.” In the special circumstances of the case personal service was dispensed with.
Counsel for the Petitioners— Gloag. Agents— Macritchie, Bayley, & Henderson, W.S.
