The Laird of Lagg, in a removing pursued by him against Alexander Wauch of Shaws, clothed himself with a comprising of one David Welsh, which he had led against Thomas Wauch, the defender's father. It was Alleged, That Lagg behoved to say that David Welsh was seised, by virtue of his comprising, during
the life of Thomas Wauch; for the comprising being a sentence, (said they,) all execution upon it must cease, while it were transferred, if the parties against whom it was pronounced be deceased. The Lords repelled the allegeance, and thought it sufficient to take sasine upon that comprising at any time after the man's decease, for they thought the comprising an execution rather of a sentence than the sentence itself.
