He had obtained a decreet of improbation of a bond taken betwixt the contract and the marriage. They now raise a reduction of that decreet, and crave production of Knox's active title. Answered,—You have no interest to call for it, nor am I obliged to produce to you; your title being declared false and improven. Replied,—This were to bar all reductions of decreets of improbation.
The Lords found they could not question his title till first they reduced the certification in the improbation, or got themselves reponed against the same.
