John Fairholm and his Curators gave in a petition against Mr James Daes Advocate, craving he may exhibit some papers necessary in a progress, where-unto he had right on Sir Alexander Home's estate.—Answered, 1mo, You show no right to them; 2do, I got them not qua Advocate, but tanquam quilibet from Mr Alexander Spottiswood, and so must be pursued by a summons via ordinaria.——The Lords refused to cause him depone summarily hoc ordine, though a member of the Court. But Fairholm was only seeking a judicial transumpt of them.
