In Hamilton's improbation against Mr Patrick Cunningham and his wife, Lord Saline found the husband's offering to abide at the truth of the disposition offered to be improven was not sufficient, though the rights thereof were now wholly his, jure mariti: but since the disposition was pretended to be granted by her former husband to his wife, now married to Mr Patrick, that she ought principally to abide at the truth of it.
Act Anent Admission within the Bar.
The Lords make an act of Sederunt, that none be permitted to come within the bars of the Inner-House, of whatsoever condition or quality. This was made upon Duke Hamilton's account, in his cause with the Town of Linlithgow. But they complimented the Duke so far as they declared that they dispensed with it in his person, because he had been admitted to enter before; but cautioned it as no ways due.
