It was debated, but not decided, whether the tenor of a comprising may be proven. There is an Act of Parliament, Ja. Vi. Par. 6. That the tenor of letters of horning should not be proven; and there is eadem, if not more, ratio as to comprisings, the solemnities being greater and more. And if a comprising, which is, in effect, the execution of a messenger, may be made up by a probation of the tenor; a paritate rationis, poindings, and interruptions of prescription by citations, and executions, and intimations of assignations, may be made up by witnesses; and arrestments and decreets.
