In an improbation, pursued by the Laird of Skene against the Earl Marishall, after three terms given to the defender to produce, at last certification was granted, providing that what should be produced betwixt and such a day, should be received. When the day came, the defender produced some writs, anterior, as he alleged, to these whereupon the pursuer founded his action; in regard whereof, he alleged, he ought to be heard wherefore he should not produce any more. Answered, That certification once being granted, he can never be heard more; but let him produce, upon his own peril, what he pleaseth; otherwise there should be no end in improbations, for none would produce till after certification were granted. Yet the Lords thought it merited, although after certification.
