James Stewart against the Laird of Lamont. The Lords sustained thir two dilators, and found no process. 1mo, That his dwelling-house was not designed; though it was presumed to be whereby he was styled; but he had no bouse on the lands of Lamont. 2do, That one of the witnesses was in the body of the execution, called Oliver Sinclair, and the subscription was Oliver Couper. And though both thir informalities were mended, and they offered to abide at the verity of the execution, yet the Lords would not allow them to be rectified after they were produced, and instruments taken thereupon by the other party.
