The poor woman, Margaret Male, was reponed to her oath, by way of suspension, against Janet Bruce, who was assignee constituted by umquhile Patrick Bald, who had obtained decreet against the said Margaret, holden as confessed, but had made no use thereof, for five or six years, until he was imprisoned, and thereafter assigned the same to the said Janet; who alleges now that Margaret cannot be reponed, since she cannot depone now in prejudice of her husband. Which the Lords thought but a cavillation, the husband not proponing the same.
