My Lord Belhaven being purasued upon a bond of his father's by James Johnston, he alleged the same was prescribed, because nothing was done thereupon within forty years. replied, the same was registrate within the forty years.
The Lords found registration allenarly not a sufficient interruption of prescription. Vide somewhat like in Dury, 27th November 1630, Laird of Lauder against Colmeslie.
