In an improbation, certification being craved against a procuratory for the using an order at a second appriser's instance against the first,
Alleged for the defender; That the instrument mentions the procuratory; and procuratories are not looked upon as necessary to be kept more than precepts of warning; and now it is 20 years since the granting of the procuratory in question; and the defender offers to make faith, that such a procuratory was truly given.
Answered; The procuratory being an essential part of the order, it ought to be produced; and if there was no procuratory, there could be no order. Now here the notary to the instrument has given a declaration under his hand, that the order was false, and forged by himself; and has fled away from justice.
The Lords granted certification against the procuratory; but superseded extracting till the 20th March; and allowed the proving of the tenor of the procuratory incidenter.
