In an action of adjudication for the fines at the instance of Hugh Wallace his Majesty's cash-keeper, against Sir John Maxwell, it being alleged that the execution of the summons was null, in respect Hugh Wallace the pursuer was not designed to be cash-keeper, but it did only contain his name, without any designation, which is declared to be a nullity by the 6th act, Parliament 3, Cha. II.; as also it being alleged against another execution, that it was not stamped, as is required by the 74th act, Parliament 6, James V. the Lords sustained both these dilatory defences, and found the executions null.
