John Chisholm having pursued John Pringle of Blindlie, and certain others, for spoliation of some sheep from him, the summons being admitted to probation, the spuilyie was proven against the said John and the rest of the defenders, being some of them his servants, and others gentlemen of his name and friends that were in company with him; so that, by the ordinary form, the decreet should have divided against the whole defenders. Yet the Lords, in respect that there were none of them solvendo, except Blindlie, found the libel proven to infer payment in solidum against him.
