The Lords found, seeing it was not a special legacy, but out of the whole moveables, and you having transacted and given a bond for a sum, and got abatement, it is no reason to liberate you, that you offer to prove now, that you had loss by the executry; seeing it was a bargain in gross, and per aversionem, and whereof you took the hazard. And as to the £800 bond, the Lords found it an intrinsic quality, that he should get a discharge of a prior obligement; therefore, though the Lords decerned, yet they superseded execution till the discharge were delivered simul et semel. Some were for superseding extract; but the other carried it.
