In the action of Francis Henmon and James Forrest against the Earl of Mar, upon the proponing of an exception of payment, by way of suspension, against them who had comprised the suspender's lands; there was a longer day assigned to the suspender for probation thereof, if he should prove by the parties' oath, and take commission to London for that effect, so that it were reported during this session; but a shorter day to make election, whether by writ or oath of party. And when, at the coming of this short time, the Lords found him protest for incident diligence,—they found no incident could be granted to prove a reason of suspension; but gave them one only term of five weeks' space to cause send home a discharge even from London.
