A decreet of a Baron Court reduced, because it made no mention of the defender's compearance, nor yet that he was cited, nor gave up no other probation, but upon preceding accounts for confession, notwithstanding the defender of the production offered to prove that the person against whom decreet was given, was summoned by the officers, that he was present at the Court, and that he confessed the debt. The Lords would not sustain this supplement, otherwise than by the defender's oath, against whom decreet was given.
