An edict of executry being advocated from the commissaries,—a bill was given in, desiring that the advocation might be summarily discussed; seeing both nearest of kin, creditors, and the fisk, were concerned that the testament should be confirmed and executed; which desire the Lords thought could not be granted, in respect of the Act of Regulation: but it was thought a great escape and inadvertency that such advocations should be passed, seeing the Lords could not confirm testaments: and if any party should be prejudged by any act of the commissaries, it may be reduced upon the head of iniquity. And the Lords thought it was fit that a new edict should be raised; and, if an advocation should be sought, the reason should be discussed upon the bill.
