An incident being sought for proving of an exception of payment, by discharges granted to the defender's father, which were alleged either to be in the hands of the persons that were tutors and curators to the defender, or in the hands of him that got the gift of the defender's ward; —to which it is answered, That now the defender is not minor, but major, and thir discharges ought to be accounted his own evidents, and he should have, since his perfect age, sought and recovered them, and therefore ought not now to have an incident. The Lords would not sustain an incident, but granted to the defender a long day, he making faith that he had not the alleged discharges.
