Sir John Sinclair of Lochend, pursuing —, for a debt, and they referring to his oath that some of it was paid; he deponed that he had got some annualrents, but knew not how much, not having marked it by any writing beside him; but that he gave a receipt, and he is content to allow whatever they produce.
The Lords, not knowing what to make of this oath, decerned against the debtor for the whole, (seeing he did not produce any partial receipts;) but ordained Sir John to find caution to repay what afterwards they should instruct he had got, by receipts under his hands, with annualrent from the payment.
