In the suspension at the instance of Christopher Spence, or reduction of a decree given against his wife and himself pro interesse, in favours of Alexander Skirving, spouse to umquhile Helen Sinclar, sister to the said Christopher his wife,—he craved suspension or reduction upon this reason, amongst others, that he was only decerned pro interesse, which had now ceased, she being dead. The Lords would have it heard in their presence; saving, that the party offered to prove, that he had intromitted himself, et sic in rem versam: for the umquhile Earl of Haddingtoune purchased himself free of all decreets obtained against his lady and himself pro interesse; because, from their marriage, he never meddled with any thing belonging to her, but she had liberam administrandi res suas facultatem.
