I Have heard of an act of sederunt, at least a consuetude, where a Lord of the Session retires upon a demission; because of the character he once bore, he takes place of all that are admitted afterwards on the Session, though they be actually Senators, and he not. This holds where his missio is honesta vel causaria, but not if it be ignominiosa.—See Tuldeni Jurisprudentia Extemporalis, p. 249. See Papon's Arrests, p. 363.; Codex Fabrianus, lib. 1. tit. 2. defin. 13. p. 31.; Hope's Collection, tit. Of the Session, fol. 131.; where another place of Faber is cited, viz. lib. 3. tit. 17. ubi Senatores vel clarissimi. See Hippolitus de Marsiliis singul. 107—See my Observes on the act of Apparel, 1672. Vide Ægidii Menagii Juris Civilis Amænitates, cap. 28.
