The Laird of Lamingtoun, craving certification in an improbation, at his instance, against some vassals;—it was alleged for the defenders, That they and their authors had been in immemorial possession of the lands, reputed as feuars, and the immediate author was an appriser; and 'tis usual for debtors to keep up their writs from apprisers. Answered for the pursuer, That the defenders do not produce any document to instruct that the debtor was vassal, nor any discharge of feu-duty, or entry of heirs or successors; so that the tenor cannot be proven. The Lords delayed extracting for a year, and examined all persons suspect of having writs, or having knowledge thereof.
