Sir Thomas Stewart, having obtained decreet against Donald and James M'Laurence, for payment of a debt, before the commissary of Dumblane; and the decreet being suspended, and reduction raised thereupon,—it was contended by Sir Thomas Stewart, that he needed not produce the bond, which was the ground of the decreet, but only the decreet itself; seeing the bond was produced before the commissary, and that the decreet bears it.
The Lords ordained Sir Thomas Stewart to produce the bond in secunda instantia, notwithstanding the commissary's decreet bears the same to have been produced in prima instantia.
