Mr Thomas Christie, assignee constituted by David Ramsay to a bond of L. 500 Sterling, made to David by his brother George of Langraw, sought registration of the same against William Ramsay, son and heir to George, at least lawfully charged to enter heir. Compeared John Yair, a creditor of George's, and alleged, The bond could not be registered, in respect it was satisfied which he referred to the cedent and assignee's oaths conjunctim. Replied, Neither relevant nor competent to the creditor, ad hunc effectum to impede the registration, hoc attento, That the cedent was out of the country, whose oath they sought only for delay, but was content it should be reserved against the execution. The Lords found the exception relevant.
