Ryburn, against whom the Laird of Hysleheade had obtained a decreet of improbation of all and haill his rights and evidents of a merk-land, seeks, by summons, to be reponed against the decreet, and that he might yet be heard to produce all his rights, because he was dwelling in Ireland the time of his citation; and alleged that the pursuer was in pessima fide to pursue him for improbation, seeing the Laird of Hysleheade had himself entered the pursuer in the said merk-land, by a precept of clare constat, ready to be produced. It was answered by Hysleheade, That all parties having interest were not called, viz. the king's advocate, at whose instance the decreet of improbation was given. The Lords found it necessary to summon the king's advocate.
