The Lords, by an act, declared, where a person referred a debt, or a reason of suspension or defence to a party's oath, and he simply denied it, the referrer, upon a bill given in to the Lords, should get L.40 Scots modified to him, tanquam poena temere litigantis. Whereupon there were sundry bills given in, the said Session, and the Lords decerned L.40 accordingly. Vide supra, 4th January 1677, No. 528, § 4, How a process is to be proven calumnious.
