William Brown pursues reduction and improbation of a decreet of the Sheriff of Berwick, and the whole grounds and warrants thereof, and insists for certification contra non producta.
Wherein the Lords found, that the decreet being pronounced 20 years ago, the defender was not obliged to produce that part of the warrants of the decreet which useth to remain in the clerk's hands, viz. summons, executions, supplement, and executions thereof, and charge to enter heir, and therefore sustained only certification against the decreet, and bond which was the ground thereof.
