Reynard Cassinbroote, Dutchman, pursued Captain Irvine for payment to him of 500 guilders, conform to his bond. Alleged, The bond was null, wanting witnessess. Replied, Referred the verity of the subscription to the defender's oath. Duplied, Not sufficient, except it were referred likewise to him, whether it was truly owing or not. The Lords thought, that, in respect the summons bore that he had given bond for such a sum, which rested yet unpaid, the defender could not give his oath upon any one part of the libel, but upon the whole as it stood; and that therefore he should depone as well upon the verity of the debt, as of the subscription.
