James Lands, merchant, pursuing Peter Winchester before the bailies of the Canongate for removing from a house, he surreptitiously obtains an advocation upon most frivolous reasons. Whereupon James instantly gives in a bill craving it may be recalled, there neither being iniquity, nor incompetency, and removing being a summary action; and he was pursued either to enter the person to whom he had set the said house, or for damage.
The Lords refused the desire of the bill, in regard it was past and expede at the signet; and ordained him to discuss the advocation, and get a remit via ordinaria.
The Lords did the very same before in June 1680, betwixt George Heriot and John Hog.
