A superior's donatar of a liferent escheat being pursued in a reduction and improbation of the horning, it was alleged, he was not bound to produce the principal horning and executions when they were not at his own instance, but done by third parties; and that all he was obliged to do was only to produce extracts: and that it was so found, in 1683, between Bailie of Littlegill and Douglas.
Answered,—That false executions of horning might escape all trial and discovery, if this held.
The Lords resolved to hear it in their own presence.
