In an action of reduction and declarator of redemption of the lands of Selkirk, pursued by the Sheriff of the Forest, against the Earl of Angus, there was produced by the Sheriff a contract betwixt George, Marquis of Angus, and the Sheriff's predecessors, anent the wadset of said lands, upon production whereof the Earl asked instruments, which were granted by the Lords: The cause being disputed, the Sheriff took up his process, and suffered the Earl to get protestation; and the Earl desired the extract of his instrument, which the Sheriff refused, in respect he had taken up his process. The Lords found he needed not give out this instrument.
