In the spuilyie pursued by Herreis and his spouse against Gibsone, the exception of lawful poinding was repelled, in respect of the reply, That the pursuer offered him to prove, that the gear spuilyied, as is libelled, was bought by the pursuer, and brought upon the ground possessed by the woman whom he was to marry, and so belonged not to the executors of his defunct debtor. And where it was duplied, That they offered them to prove, that those same goods craved were in their own possession;—it was triplied, That they had brought them back from one Greirsone, who had given bond for the same to the defenders. Which also was sustained in fortification of the reply.
