The Lords enacted, that parties who minded to complain of interlocutors given in the Outerhouse, should do it within twenty-four hours, otherwise that they consign a dollar with their bill, by way of amaud, not to be returned though the bill be granted. 2do, That qualified oaths should be immediately discussed as to their intrinsic qualities and competency; because by the reservation of these debates to the conclusion of the cause, the Lords found themselves exceedingly retarded in the advising. But this has not yet taken full effect. 3tio, That informations be given in at the advising of concluded causes, that being the most critical period of them. See this enlarged alibi.
