In the discussion of John Shade his suspension against Margaret Hamiltoune, it was much debated anent the delivery of the goods contained in the commissary's decreet, and thereafter in several suspensions; because he was ready to deliver those that he had, viz. ipsa corpora; but that he could not be obliged for the whole contained in the commissary's decreet, which was given against him and three others, seeing decreets are not given against parties conjunctly and severally, but according to ilk person his intromission; which might be known best by the probation deduced before the commissaries decerned in the cause. And it was ridiculous to make any objection of vicious intromission, to make the defender liable for the defunct his debts, ubi corpora requiruntur restituenda.
