It was thought, though a reason of suspension ought to be instantly verified, yet a reply or duply in a suspension (which is also pars libelli,) needs not, since it may be emergent, and the proponer cannot come paratus et instructus to verify it: which is also Stair's opinion, in his Form of Process.
Yet, this point being reported on the 5th of Feb. 1680, the Lords found a reply upon re-compensation ought to be verified instantly, being in a suspension which was turned to a count and reckoning. This many thought strange; yet compensations should be instantly verified, especially in suspensions.
