See the several intermediate parts of this case pointed out in the Index to the Decisions.
Mr Alexander Bruntfield and Smith's reduction against Mr James Borthwick of Stow, and his Relict, (mentioned 17th December 1686,) is advised. Probation having been led on a reason of death-bed, the Lords had found it proven; and reduced. It is now contended, that Mr Alexander Heriot's coming to kirk and market, at least his being at a christening after subscribing that disposition, was proven. And it was craved the Lords would review and reconsider the probation.
This was objected against as pessimi exempli, and what reflected on the Lords, and might unsecure and cast loose all the decreets in foro.
