Editing Oyer and terminer (section)

==Use in Scotland==
By the [[Treason Act 1708]], [[the Crown]] had the power to issue commissions of Oyer and Terminer in [[Scotland]] for the trial of [[high treason in the United Kingdom|treason]] and [[misprision of treason]]. Three [[Lords of Justiciary]] had to be in any such commission. An [[indictment]] for either of the offences mentioned could be removed by [[certiorari]] from the court of Oyer and Terminer into the [[High Court of Justiciary]].<ref name="Chisholm 1911, p. 424"/>

Commissions of Oyer and Terminer in Scotland have been exercised at various points in history, for example, the trial of [[Radicalism (historical)|Radicals]] during the "[[Radical War]]" of 1820.{{citation needed |date=June 2020 }}
