This was a reduction of a right upon the act of Parliament 1621, as done inter conjunctas personas, without any true or onerous cause. My Lord Newbyth, (because of the act of sederunt appointing all reasons of reduction to be heard in the Inner House, unless there were a warrant to the Ordinary in the Outer House to hear them,) refused altogether to hear them on their reason, seeing there was no warrant lying in process; and this, although the defender was content to dispense with the want thereof, and was earnest to be heard in causa.
