One having raised revocation and reduction of a bond wherein he became cautioner in his minority;
It was alleged for the defender; That the pursuer had homologated, by pursuing and recovering a decreet against the principal upon a separate bond of relief, narrating the bond in question.
Answered for the pursuer; The pursuit and decreet upon a separate bond of relief, ob majorem securitatem, cannot infer homologation of the debt. 2do, The decreet upon the bond of relief was procured before the revocation, which therefore cannot be said to be passed from.
The lords repelled the defender's allegeance, and qualification of homologation.
