123. Every application under this Act for compensation for loss or damage occasioned by any malicious injury as aforesaid shall be made at the presentment sessions which shall be holden next before the presenting term after the commission of such offence for the barony where the same shall have been committed, unless any such malicious injury shall have been done after the day appointed for holding the first presentment sessions before the next presenting term, or so near the day of holding the same that such application for compensation cannot be duly lodged as herein-before directed; in either of which cases the person or persons so injured shall make such application at the presentment sessions which shall be holden for the barony where such offence shall have been committed before the presenting term which shall take place next after that following the commission of such offence, and the notices of such applications shall be posted accordingly; and it shall not be lawful for any grand jury to make any presentment for compensation for malicious injury under the provisions of this Act, except at the presenting term next ensuing to the presentment sessions where application shall have been made therefor.
