Vita præsumitur nisi mors probetur, ordinarie, yet a pregnant presumption to death, viz. that the person alleged to be dead embarked in a ship to make a voyage to Norway at All-hollowmas 1620, and that the ship nor none in her ever returned, nor was heard of, and so behoved to have perished in the ship, will be found relevant.
Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 263. Haddington. Durie.
