In an exhibition of writs, it was alleged, That Mr John and Henry Rollocks, being advocate, and agent in the cause, were not obliged to depone in prejudice of their clients, or to reveal their secrets; but they ought to pursue their clients; for a servant, factor, or person intrusted with the custody of writs, ought not to be examined in prejudice of their constituent, unless it were as a witness.—It was answered, That their client was called.
In respect whereof, the Lords ordained the defenders to depone concerning the having of the writs.
