Quintin Finlay pursues reduction ex capite inhibitionis against Little of Libberton, who alleged absolvitor, because the inhibition is null, as being executed at the house of the person inhibited, not designing where the dwelling-house was. It was answered, That the executions bear “The within designed John Lindsay's dwelling-house,” who is designed within “merchant burgess of Edinburgh.” It was replied, non relevat, seeing that does not import that he was indweller in Edinburgh, for many merchants, burgesses of Edinburgh, are not residenters.
