In an action for making arrested sums forthcoming, between Bruce and the Earl of Mortoun,
The Lords found that the summons behoved to be continued, seeing they were not passed by a special privilege of the Lords, to be without continuation albeit they were accessory to the Lords' anterior decreet, against the principal debtor, which they found to be a ground to have granted the privilege of not continuation, if it had been desired by a bill, at the raising of the summons, but not being demanded, they found quod non inerat de jure.
