In an act of litiscontestation, betwixt Sir Laurence Scot and the Lady Shenltoun; a defence of payment being found relevant, scripto vel juramento, for Sir Laurence, and not having cited the Lady to give her oath, nor produced any writ, the term was craved to be circumduced.
The Lords did not circumduce the term; but found that the pursuer should have been still ready to produce his client to depone, if the defender made choice of his oath.
