A bond granted after horning, bearing to be for the price of wines, was not found probative of its onerous cause against the donatar of escheat, though it did not appear, that the creditor was a conjunct and confident person; but he was allowed to instruct the onerous cause, by the rebel's count-book and books of entry, he being a merchant; and the Lords refused to sustain a proof simply by witnesses, without such adminicles in writ.
