A bond, made by William Douglas of Stanypathe, of 600 merks, to umquhile George Lylle, was consigned in the hands of the Laird of Whittingham. The said George Lylle pursues Whittingham to exhibit the bond, and refers the having thereof to his oath of verity. He depones, That indeed a bond was consigned in his hands, which he had lost he knows not how; but that he could not tell what the sum therein contained was. The Lords gave a liberty to the pursuer to produce any witnesses to prove the sum contained in the bond; and, if the pursuer had been the person to whom the bond was made, the Lords would have referred the quantity of the sum to his oath.
