The Lords found apparent heirs might call for count-books, in exhibitions ad deliberandum, as well as other papers; and that the relict having paid debts, and by mistake taken discharges instead of assignations, she might pursue a cognition of these debts before the Commissaries of Edinburgh; and that the Lords never used to advocate such causes from them, as having a peculiar style not known in any other court; but if they committed iniquity, then the Lords could redress it in a suspension.
