William Dickson having charged John Home upon a bond of L. 37 Scots, he suspends, and offers to improve the bond as not subscribed by him, but another John Home. It was answered, Improbation was not receivable, but in a reduction, or where the original writ was produced; but this bond was registrate in an inferior court, and the charger was not obliged to produce, nor was the clerk called.
