A summons must be executed within year and day after the same is raised, else that summons is null. Being executed, if year and day elapse without doing any thing thereon, the same is said to sleep, and we cannot insist upon it without it be again wakened; but a continuation of the summons, though ten years after the raising of the first summons, will be reputed equivalent to a wakening; as the Lords have oft found. See Haddington, 13th December, 1609, Boig against Home.
