Marion Dickson, executrix to Mr William Cockburn her husband, against George M'Kalla, merchant in Glasgow. The Lords found an executor's oath might be taken for constituting a debt owing by her husband to whom she is executor confirmed, in so far as may affect her own part of the inventory of the goods; but no ways to prejudge the nearest of kin, nor the creditors.
