In an action of improbation, pursued by the Bishop of the Isles, against his Vassals; Alleged for the Sheriff of Bute, That he was not lawfully summoned in the first summons, it being made at his house in Bute, he being in the meantime, and two years before, at the school of Leith; which was offered to be instantly proven at the bar. The Lords would not receive this exception of alibi, notwithstanding; but sustained the citation, in respect that he was personally summoned in the second summons, and that he could not receive great prejudice thereby, seeing he was to get diets with the rest of the defenders for production of his writs.
