Bailie of Jerviswood, as adjudger from Secretary Johnston, against Brand of Baberton. The Lords found, seeing Sir Archibald Johnston of Wariston, the Secretary's father, was now restored against his forfeiture per modumjustitiœ, and that they offered to pay all Brand's just debts he had on the lands of Newhall, that therefore Brand ought to remove and cede the possession. If it had been only a restitution per modum gratiœ, he could not have obtained re-possession against a creditor.
