The Earl of Marischal having obtained decreet, in his own baron court, against Bray, compearing for a year's rent of his Mains of Dunnottar, wherein he had been possessed by the English; Bray suspends, and alleges compensation upon a bond assigned to him, due by the charger, who answered competent and omitted, and so not receiveable in the second instance; especially being compensation, which, by special act of Parliament, is not to be admitted in the second instance.
The Lords sustained the reason of compensation, and found that a baron court was not such a judicature, as that allegeances competent and omitted should be repelled in the second instance.
