In this action, before-mentioned, Fullartoun having been examined, did declare, That the bond granted him by the Earl of Carnwath, was to the behoof of Somervell; and that accordingly he did assign the same:—Whereupon the Lords finding that bond to be prior to the back-bond granted by Somervell to the Earl, they inclined to decern that it was one of the bonds for which the Earl gave an assignation; unless Somervell would make it appear, and condescend upon other bonds due by the Earl, for which he granted a back-bond. But he condescending upon a bond of £100 sterling, which he alleged that he had delivered up to the Earl, when he got the assignation; They ordained, before answer, that he should prove, by the writer and witnesses, that there was such a bond; or, by the Earl-Chamberlain's, or his own oath, that it was delivered up.
