In an action betwixt Bothwel of Glencorse, and the Children of Sir Robert Preston, against John Lutfoot, Writer to the Signet, the Lords found, that the forty years' prescription began to run against an inhibition from the date of the last execution, and not from the date of the registration thereof, as was alleged it ought only to be counted: ut sic valeret actus; and prescription, which is odious, might be evited. Vide a remark anent Registration of Writs, [page 293.]
